Vacation Rental Description
Akasha sits on a hillside in the exclusive Cap Estate looking over the Caribbean sea with views down to the world heritage site of the Pitons and the national park – Pigeon Island. From this unrivalled location you can watch the sail boats and mega yachts as they head into Rodney Bay marina. In the evening you can relax with a glass of wine and catch the stunning sunsets. 
 
A contemporary villa designed for Caribbean living, Akasha combines the best of modern living with the relaxed and content lifestyle of the Caribbean. Every room boasts spectacular views, with huge floor to ceiling windows and minimum distractions from the stunning vistas. Akasha is for those who want modern living in the Caribbean – something you will not find in any other villa.  
 
Akasha – Defined in Sanskrit text as 'Ether', the most subtle of the five elements, and in Homeric Greek as "pure, fresh air" or "clear sky", Akasha is a positive substance, filled with unseen energies and intelligence. That is what you feel here in Akasha - positive and closer to the stars. 
 
Featuring a state of the art Lutron lighting system, and whole home Crestron music and video distribution you can relax by the pool with your favourite sounds delivered right from your iPod, the music server or internet radio. Listen to the same music in any of the rooms inside the house or on the Lookout level while enjoying the spectacular views.  
 
Each bedroom has a flat-panel TV allowing you to choose a movie 'on demand' from the extensive movie library or watch cable TV. Each has a terrace to chill out on. At night time choose a scene from the Lutron lighting system – there are blue LED lights to create a tranquil environment. 
 
The Great Room includes the Lounge, Dining space and the Kitchen. The Lounge is equipped with 50” plasma and surround sound using Orb speakers and Linn sub-woofer. Natuzzi leather seating helps to add to the experience. If you fold the 10ft high glass doors then you can fully appreciate the views or just walk onto the main terrace where further seating allows you to relax in the gentle breeze which blows across the location. 
 
In the Kitchen you will find an Italian – Scavolini kitchen which is fully equipped. You can serve those special dishes either inside on the large glass dining table which has seating for 12, outside on the Dining terrace or in the intimate outdoor Nook area. Maybe you prefer to barbecue on the large built-in Viking outdoor grill which is lit up at night. From here you can serve drinks to those sitting on the seats in the swimming pool. 
Offering a fully air conditioned environment Akasha also boasts a 9 seat home theater with a 110" screen, able to screen high definition Blu-Ray DVD's.  
 
The Games room offers the opportunity to play some pool, poker or table tennis or if you wish just watch the ‘game’ on cable. From here you can step out to the garden which has over 1000 local plants ranging from coffee to mangoes to hibiscus to bamboo. 
 
Take the elevator upstairs and entertain guests in main bar area and play the 1976 Yamaha Grand Piano. 
 
The elevator travels up further to the master floor level. The master bedroom boasts a Super King size bed with views over Pigeon island and a private balcony. Again you can listen to surround sound and watch the boats sailing down to Rodney bay or Marigot bay. The bathroom boasts a double hot tub which has ten Bodymassage backjets for each bather and six Flexjet™ whirlpool jets to stimulate a professional massage along with led lights, and a TV. 
 
The top level has a Look-out for watching the world go by or star gazing at night – not forgetting that should you wish, you can listen to some of your favourite music along with a glass of wine from the fridge located close by. Here you can see the Pitons, Mount Gimme and both the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean – truly remarkable.

Owner Location Comment
Cap Estate is an exclusive residential area. Lots of greener and also a nature park which has recently be handed over to the local National Trust. This park is right behind the villa and you can hike up it to an old fort - still see where the guns were stationed during the French and English wars for St Lucia. From the top of the park you will catch one of the best 360 degree view - Martinique to the north and the Pitons to the south.

At times you can hear a pin drop - but usually its just the waves hitting the beach.

Local fishermen can be seen early in the mornings standing upright on their boats which hurtle through the waves. Also you might even see them night fishing underwater with their spears - their torches make an eerie beam on the sea bed.

Cap Estate also has the only 18 hole Championship Golf course (3 minutes from the villa), its a challenging course and the locals will sell you your balls back afterwards at a very reasonable rate because you are sure to lose a few on the way round.

Numerous beaches ( 3 are within a 5 minute drive of the villa) mean you can chose one to suit your holiday. On the Caribbean side you have the Cariblue beach - small resort on the beach but great for snorkeling, Smugglers Cove - secluded and more romantic, and Cas En Bas on the Atlantic side. Here you get the rougher waves and winds so its ideal for Wind and Kite surfing.

Some of the best restaurants on the island, Tao and Great House (within 5 minutes of the villa). Tao is a Fusion of east west food, great service and lots of choice. The Great House has been recently re-opened and has a more international menu.

“From breath taking views of the sunset on the patio, or lounging at the pool side bar, Akasha provided the relaxation that we desired on vacation.

When we did not fancy cooking we took a short drive into Rodney Bay and dined at one of the many restaurants located along the strip. After dinner, we took part in the St. Lucian night-life, however, be warned the party might not stop until sunrise.

If you are looking for a place to unwind, put your mind at ease, and enjoy all the amenities and luxuries Akasha has to offer.”

“The sound system throughout Akasha is remarkable. As a musician, I couldn't help but also notice the exceptional acoustics throughout the house. My guitar comes with me everywhere and I won't soon forget the experience of playing my favourite flamenco piece in the living room of Akasha during a picturesque Caribbean sunset.”

“Not only does it have some of the best views you can find on the island but the quality of the villa is outstanding. I am use to traveling through the Caribbean and I have stayed at many hotels and villas but none have compared or even come close to how breathtaking this villa is.

During the day my friends and I were able to relax around the pool. Evenings were lively as we played music from the Ipod docking station. It was great to hear ‘our’ music from any room in the house and even outside around the pool area.”

“We thought it (Aksaha) was beautifully done, reminded me a lot of my time in South Beach, Miami. “

It is truly breath-taking and the ultimate home we would love to have out there. For our daughter it's ruined viewing anything else on island as they just don't compare.

To bring my comments to a conclusion, the villa is beautiful, it is the ultimate home.”

Akasha is an absolutely gorgeous home with incredible views of both the Caribbean sunsets and the vibrant city life below. Our family of four stayed there for spring break. The home offers every modern convenience a home can offer. Our teenage children particularly enjoyed plugging their IPods into the home's speaker system and enjoying customized audio throughout the home all week. I enjoyed having coffee on the main terrace overlooking the ocean in one of the home's many comfortable outdoor living areas each morning. My husband most enjoyed walking down to the beach below the villa and the rejuvenation offered by the home's amazingly tranquil views of the sunrise each morning. We all enjoyed early morning dips in the pool.

Akasha's staff went way above and beyond in making sure our stay was enjoyable and that our every need was met. There was no pressure to do pack our days with activities, but rather an offer to arrange them if we so desired, and that was nice. Some days we opted to have them arrange travel or activities on the island, while others we chose to just stay and enjoy what the villa itself has to offer. One night we cooked a fantastic meal on the poolside barbeque grill and ate on the lovely outdoor dining area overlooking the ocean. Fred gladly took us to nearby beaches and to the store or the resort below when needed.

For those looking for more than just another crowded upscale resort, a stay at Akasha is a fantastic alternative. It offers more amenities, more luxury, and of course far more space, and is far more private and peaceful. There are dozens of activities located within close proximity of the villa. The private tour of the island and the zip-lining in the rain forest were quite fun, and the restaurants recommended to us by the staff were all fantastic and quite convenient from the villa. Traveling with teenagers, it was especially nice for them to have their own bedrooms (and of course bathrooms). What a lovely place to unwind in the evening, with a glass of wine on the back terrace for the adults and a nice library of movies on the flat screens throughout the home for the kids.

The site and the pictures simply don't show the true beauty of Akasha. The gourmet kitchen is far more spectacular in person than it is in the pictures, and the words and pictures describing the resort's services and staff can't adequately reflect the welcome feeling and superb service they provide to guests.

The villa and the pool were immaculate on arrival and throughout our stay.

The week at Akasha most definitely lived up to our expectations. We had the most pleasant vacation there we've ever had. Fred was absolutely amazing; he really knows the island and its people well and gladly helped us in deciding where to go and what to do and assisted in getting us there

Fred also took us on a couple of jaunts to the local places near Akasha in the Rodney Bay area that we enjoyed tremendously and would have never, ever experienced had he not been so kind as to take us there. He went way above and beyond in making us feel welcome and all agree our stay there wouldn't have been the same without him.

I think a lot more families would surely choose to stay in such a beautiful villa as Akasha over any crowded resort if they knew up front that such necessities as food and transportation were so easily arranged.

Our week was truly wonderful and we hope to return someday

We built our family dream

We have travelled to many parts of this beautiful planet. Each time we went somewhere we saw something that we wanted to add to our dream home and have used those memories to create what we think of as the ultimate vacation/holiday home.

We chose St Lucia because the people are always happy, Richard, our gardener is typical St Lucian, he worked on the construction of Akasha and always has a smile and doesn't let anything phase him - a gem and and a gentleman. St Lucia has not been blighted by over development, some might say a little under developed. St Lucia has a rainforest and a volcano so is rather greener and more hilly than most of the other islands in the Caribbean. We it loved so we hope when you come you respect the land and its beauty.

Our children also input so that younger people would enjoy what we had to offer and were not bored.

What we sought to create was something that the whole family could enjoy as we know holidays can become a little tense when everyone wants something different - well Akasha allows its guest to do what 'they want' without annoying the rest of the family.

Now we are semi-retired we are happy to offer the villa for those who are seeking something special.
