Serene new villa joins Montpelier’s expanding Villa Collection
As part of its 60th anniversary year celebrations, Montpelier Nevis introduces Saddle Hill View Villa – a newly renovated, two-storey residence within the estate’s 60-acre hillside grounds.
Saddle Hill View Villa’s the latest addition to the hotel’s Villa Collection, offering a more private, residential-style stay with full access to Montpelier’s dining areas, beach shuttle and hosted activities.
This latest offering follows the success of Tamarind Villa, the first property in the collection. Both villas have their own gardens and are just a short walk from Montpelier’s Great Room with bar.
As well as evoking a softer, serene aesthetic – a quiet contrast to the vibrant palette of the main hotel – Saddle Hill View Villa, exclusive to Montpelier, will suit guests who prefer their own private pool and self-contained space to gather with family or friends in one place.
Pluses of residing in a standalone villa on the Montpelier Estate include enjoying the hotel’s activities and amenities and then returning to your own space, having access to a private pool, being able to use kitchen facilities when you fancy a cup of coffee or snack, and gathering all your friends or family in one place for a special holiday.
Saddle Hill View Villa spans approximately 2,500 square feet and features two king-sized bedrooms upstairs, each with ensuite bathrooms. Hand-carved Caribbean-meets-Asian furniture and artefacts, stone sinks, wooden shutters and floors, and a clean-lined, white kitchen balance simplicity with comfort. A palette of calm earth tones sits comfortably next to verdant palms and vivid tropical plants – creating a peaceful, meditative atmosphere grounded in Montpelier’s barefoot luxury vibe.
An open-plan living area on the upper floor includes a sitting room with high ceilings and French doors opening onto a wide wraparound veranda that’s ideal for reading, dining and relaxing outdoors.
On the lower level, a generous, private terrace with garden views, fountains and statues offers shaded seating, eating areas and a poolside kitchen. Two additional en-suite bedrooms may be added on request, allowing the villa to accommodate small groups and those luxuriating in longer stopovers.
Eclectic touches add character, from cheeky peacock door handles and Buddhas guarding the entrance, through to a Vikki Fuller monkey painting and wooden doors painted in green, pink and gold.
This year’s launch of Saddle Hill View Villa – together with recent refurbishments across Montpelier’s rooms and public spaces – marks a fresh new chapter as the hotel celebrates 60 years of hospitality on Nevis. Montpelier opened its doors back in 1966 and has remained a family-owned, independently-run hotel, cherished for its warm spirit and timeless character.
Saddle Hill View Villa is now open for bookings, with rates starting from US $1,900 per night, including breakfast and full access to hotel amenities. For further information, please visit www.montpeliernevis.com.
