Newport,
RI – January 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / The
start of the new year marks so many “top lists” – from books, to cultural
figures to movies. The list you may be most eager to see though? The top
new places to vacation. Leading hospitality company WIMCO
Villas unveils its list of the top 10 new villas in the Caribbean –
offering vacationers to be among the first to relax in these exceptional
private homes, while enjoying WIMCO’s signature concierge service.
What’s
Trending
St.
Barths and Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos are the two most active
destinations for high-end new villa construction. Punta Cana in the Dominican
Republic and the Riviera Maya coast have also seen a surge in development
of upscale properties, many of which are directly on the beach or on golf
courses.
How
to Choose?
Each
year WIMCO Specialists inspect scores of newly constructed villas to determine
which ones meet the grade. A small group are designated “best of”, and
from that they select the top ten. The wildcard is location as WIMCO seeks
to feature villas in multiple islands to showcase the breadth of its portfolio.
“This year we introduced more than a dozen exceptional new villas each
in several destinations, but in the interest of showcasing different islands,
we decided to feature no more than 3 new villas from any one place” stated
Stiles Bennet, president of WIMCO.
These
new private properties (which are available to rent by the week), set the
standard for clean contemporary design, and are thoughtfully laid out to
provide a memorable vacation experience. “Vacationing in a private villa
often offers families or groups more space, privacy and value than booking
a comparable number of hotel rooms does,” says Bennet. “When you include
access to our Villa Specialists who work closely with clients to ensure
the right fit, then set-up flights and vacation services, this is a winning
combination for our clients.”

He
adds that one to three bedroom villas are the most sought after, ideal
for couples or small groups. “When considering which villas to add to WIMCO’s
portfolio each year, we keep an eye out for smaller, well-designed villas
that are great for romantic retreats, or small group vacations.” One of
these is Villa
Javacanou (WV JAV) a three bedroom waterfront villa on Marigot Bay
in St Barths. The full list can be seen on WIMCO’s website at Top10Villas2018.
WIMCO
also operates a real estate sales office in the Caribbean, and on a related
note, Bennet adds, “The fact that we are able to highlight so many exceptional
new homes each year is also an indicator of the perceived value of investing
in real estate in the Caribbean vs investing in other places or opportunties.”
