Tingalayo is not merely a villa; it is a meticulously designed private hamlet of seven brightly colored buildings interwoven by stone pathways and lush tropical gardens. Spanning over 9,000 square feet, the estate was inspired by Balinese architecture, utilizing open floor plans and mahogany sliding doors to invite the constant Caribbean cross-breezes. The property is designed for those who appreciate "understated elegance" and variety, offering four distinct dining areas and multiple "lounging alcoves" for quiet contemplation. From the "cloud-shaped" infinity pool to the high-altitude yoga temple, Tingalayo creates a restorative atmosphere that feels entirely suspended over the turquoise sea.
Accommodations & Design The residence is divided into three primary zones to ensure a balance of social connection and total privacy:
The Great House: The central social hub featuring a soaring open-plan living/dining room, a professional-grade kitchen with granite counters and Viking appliances, and a 52-inch media center.
The Bedroom Blocks: Features 4 uniquely colored en-suite bedrooms (flamingo pink, ocean blue, etc.). The Turtle Suite is a standout with a king canopy bed and outdoor shower, while the Coqui Suite sits in its own detached pavilion for maximum seclusion.
The Guest House: A self-contained 2-bedroom cottage located 30 steps below the main house, featuring its own kitchen, living area, and a private plunge pool.
Amenities & Inclusions The estate functions as a high-end private resort with amenities for every age:
Pools & Wellness: A 45-foot cloud-shaped infinity pool, a deep plunge pool at the guest house, and a heated in-ground hot tub on the "Spa Deck." A private yoga temple (Cielito) and an air-conditioned gym are available for fitness.
Entertainment: A dedicated Games Room with a 65-inch surround-sound TV, pool table, and a Bocce/Cornhole court. Recently upgraded to include a Pickleball court.
Service: Daily maid service (5 days/week) and a weekly laundry service are included. The property management can coordinate private chefs, massage therapists, and boat rentals.
Infrastructure: Fully equipped with a backup generator, UV water filtration, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the grounds.
How Private Is This Estate? Privacy at Tingalayo is absolute. Located at the very end of a private road with a secure entrance, the estate is shielded from all public view and traffic. The "hamlet" design ensures that even within a group of 12, guests can find complete solitude in their individual pavilions or the various garden "alcoves" dotted across the 4-acre property. While you are only 15 minutes away from the world-class surf of Apple Bay and the beach bars of Smuggler’s Cove, the elevation provides a literal and metaphorical separation from the world below, making it a premier choice for high-profile retreats and multi-generational families.
