About this property

Luxury Villa With Fantastic Views Steeped In Privacy

Whether you want to rent one, two, three, four or all five bedrooms you can have all the privacy you desire (prices vary by number of bedrooms). Rates shown are based on renting all bedrooms - please contact the owner for rates based on fewer than five bedrooms - in every case guests rent the full villa without a second set of guests.

We designed Adagio as two spacious pavilions separated by a very private sun deck and pool. The design incorporates a free flow of space for large groups as well as being able to ensure privacy for all guests.

Adagio's three-level main pavilion contains the expansive Great Room, graced by a beautiful and extremely well equipped gourmet kitchen and two dining areas, one inside and one outside under the covered deck. To the left looking toward the sea is another covered area with a wet bar with ice maker, beverage fridge and sink with a gas grill along side. The Great Room, while not air conditioned, is also the gathering place for friends and family, with stylish, but comfortable, sofas and chairs. Sliding glass doors open to a wide covered veranda set for outdoor dining or family games and relaxation; this looks out to the beach below and to the 180 degree blue sea vistas.

A staircase from the Great Room curves up to an air-conditioned double-twin bed master bedroom (can be made up as a king). This bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with a tropical glass-block shower and its own private veranda. A second identically sized air-conditioned king bed suite with a private veranda is just off the Great Room, and below, on the lower level accessed by a walkway around the pool deck, is a very large air-conditioned double-twin bedroom, which can be made up as a king with two additional twin beds, and bath ensuite with another private veranda; all twin bed suites may also be made up as king suites with advance notice.

Across the coral stone tiled pool deck is Adagio's second air-conditioned pavilion offering the perfect set-up for families with small children - a king bedroom with ensuite with a set of connecting doors into the adjoining double-twin (or king) suite - roomy and convenient, yet also very private. This pavilion is handicap accessible; a ramp provides easy access up to the Great Room and main veranda areas.

Adagio is beautifully furnished in the Hemingway island style, bright tropical fabrics and lovely artwork, and surrounded by flowering gardens and waving palms. It's well designed to provide generous space for togetherness, and areas throughout for private time as well. Just like its musical name, Adagio provides an island 'slow tempo' in a luxurious, serene and well-equipped setting.

Fantastic Villa on Mahoe Bay!
My husband and I just returned from a glorious stay at Adagio Villa! We loved the location just minutes from The Valley with restaurants, grocery stores and The Baths. The Villa is private, safe and spacious. It faces west and has breathtaking views of Mahoe Bay and spectacular sunsets! Comfortable bed! The gourmet kitchen is a dream! If you need it, they've got it and you will never run out of ice! The views from the main living area and the patio and pool are incredible! The landscaping is gorgeous and creates extreme privacy. Excellent snorkeling right off your beach! You do not need to look any further for a Villa, just book it! The McDonald's are wonderful to do business with!

Beautiful Stay on my Favorite Island
This was our first time coming with a large group and renting a villa was perfect. We loved the view, the proximity to an amazing beach, and ease of traveling anywhere on the island with our personal driver, Lionel (a referral from the villa caretaker, Shevy). The pool was great for the kids (ages 5-10), and all the adults loved admiring the view with their favorite beverage! We had groceries delivered by Buck's, which worked out great. The house has all the amenities - all the kitchen stuff, snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, etc. The A/C in each room worked great, we loved the outdoor showers (one for each room!), and the WiFi was very fast with a bunch of people on it! Thank you to the owners, and Shevy for all their help with this stay. We are already planning our next trip back! Note for renters with young kids: the kids room is a downstairs room with an exterior door, with direct pool access. Our kids were fine, but I wanted other parents to know.

A Truly Special Villa and Location!
We just returned from our 9th visit to Adagio Villa. We LOVE the place! The location is fantastic for snorkeling on beautiful Mahoe Bay. On this trip we saw turtles, squid, and colorful fish on the beautiful Mahoe Bay. The villa pool is a nice break during the day. We loved playing tennis at the tennis courts. The villa is decorated so lovely. Two of the main floor walls are sliding glass doors that open to an amazing terrace/balcony with a huge dining table. The views are directly of the ocean and the "Dog" Islands. The villa works wonderfully for just two or for a small group. Each bedroom has its own bath and shower. The location is convenient to town or to other local restaurants. This property is spotless and in fantastic working order. The owner was extremely helpful in answering questions, directing us to local activities, and assuring we would be comfortable. I would (and have!) recommended this property to friends and family. It is in a great location. My first choice for lodging on the island!!

Wonderful!
We just returned from Mahoe Bay and stayed at Villa Adagio. This is the second time we rented this villa and both times have just been PERFECT! Brian, the owner, really made everything simple and complied with all our needs. First of all, Leti as well as David were fantastic. One of the babies in our family got very sick the day the storm was passing VG. We did not know where to take her as besides the storm it was a Saturday. I called David and he said that he was going to meet us at the marina and lead us to the health center. (Have in mind that we were in the middle of the storm) We did that and the doctor was able to see her and gave us medicines and comfort. She had a very bad ear infection.David stayed with us at the health center until the doctor saw her. Those are the things that you always remember and be grateful for and this is one of those instances. The house is beautiful, the breeze and quietness of Adagio really make you feel that you want to stay there for the rest of your life. Although we were four couples with children the villa is built in a way that we have plenty of room and privacy. We all really hope to go to Adagio once, or twice or three times more!

Heaven on Earth
A remarkable villa in an exquisite location! Adagio is an exceptionally appointed home away from home. With a great room and substantial patio space for socializing, a kitchen any chef would delight preparing meals in, master bedrooms with private bathrooms and outdoor glass showers. Ideal for families and friends looking for a place to get away from it all, or for adventurers who want to discover Virgin Gorda by land or by sea. Just yards away from some of the most spectacular snorkeling in the Caribbean, on a beach that feels like it was created just for you. Pictures and words cannot capture the beauty of the view, nor the environment the MacDonald's have created at Adagio Villa. I can't wait to return!

Excellent
This was first visit to Adagio and it was more spectacular than I anticipated. The villa is well laid out with lots of patio space both open and under cover. The view is beautiful and the sunsets better. The bedrooms are large each with a private bathroom. The kitchen is well appointed and all appliances are new. The beach is a three minute walk and crowded would be defined as more than five people! There is good snorkelling just off the beach and a short kayak ride will take you to adjacent beaches. The villa pool is relaxing. A good morning cardio walk is up the road to Nail Bay and even beyond. A rental car is required to visit the rest of the island. Places to visit include the look out at Hogs Heaven, Leverick Bay, Bitter End Yacht Club and The Baths. Top of the Baths is a great place for lunch.

a Most Amazing Place
This was not my first stay at Adagio Villa, and I've already made my arrangements to return next year. This house is so exceedingly well laid out that it works extremely well for mixed groups of family and friends. Mahoe Bay Beach is a 2-minute walk away down the hill, and a busy day there will see maybe 6 other people all day. We tend to get out and try all the various options at other beaches as well. I've even discovered that you can swim from Mahoe Bay to Savannah Bay for a good, long work out. The diving is magnificent -- thank you Dive BVI-- the various parks are delightful, and it is one of the most beautiful, relaxing places to be in the entire world. I'm so grateful to have found this island and this house!

Adagio
Adagio Villa provides a window onto a corner of paradise. Awe inspiring view of Sir Francis Drake Channel keeps you captivated for hours. The great room is wonderfully decorated while the bedrooms have ample space and first class comfort. Some of the best diving in the Caribbean is available around Virgin Gorda and the islands to the south of Tortola made available by the highly competent and professional team of Dive BVI. If you want some exercise, try walking around the mountain - sure to get the cardio rate pumping, while enjoying the many vistas, including the North Channel from Hogs Heaven. Highly recommend Adagio - every comfort of home and more is made available for your use.

Paradise!
Again we returned to Adagio and it just gets better every time. The new kitchen is fabulous and easy to work in. We found everything to be excellent, far beyond what we needed. What a place to relax in or to do some strenuous exercise. The beach at Mahoe Bay is perhaps the best in all of the Caribbean. Terrific swimming and snorkelling. Adagio is what dreams are made of.

10th Visit to Adagio!!! We are the lucky ones!!!
Just returned from a 10 night visit to Adagio. We love the property. We have lovely views of the ocean, beautiful accommodations, great location, tennis courts, and swimming pool. The kitchen is beautifully appointed for cooking in. The location is fantastic. We can just walk to the beach and snorkel right off the beach! If you are lucky, you can even see sea turtles in Mahoe Bay. We highly recommend the property. The owner is so wonderful to work with. The staff at the villa are almost ready to help....I love Adagio!!!

Paradise found!
I can't tell you what a wonderful time we had at Adagio! It was perfect! Everything was in great shape and so well maintained. The kitchen (we like to cook and stay in for dinner) was equipped with anything we could imagine. With wifi and satellite to watch the Super Bowl, we felt well connected, and all was in good working order. David was very helpful and arranged for Elvis (Rush) to cook for us one night...lobster on the grill, shrimp, mahi, and key lime pie...they were delightful and the food fantastic. We only wished we had booked two months instead of 16 days! They layout of the bedrooms makes it comfortable for two people, and great for more (we had guests for part of the time) They are all comparable in size and quality, so couples wouldn't feel shorted in any room. The outside showers were a favorite! Weather was perfect, all in all a dream vacation! When can we come back???? My 100's of pictures have made all of my friends very jealous! We still think Virgin Gorda is a well kept secret that we want to keep that way! Thanks for sharing your paradise!

Perfect
Our stay at Villa Adagio was perfect in all respects! Thanks to the information given us by the Owner along with the Mgmt Co, the trip was seamless and relaxing for our group of 9 traveling from several different locations in the U.S. We spent most of our time at Adagio, on the beach and in the water. We couldn't come up with a good reason to leave - except to visit the Baths and enjoy a fabulous lunch while there. We could not have selected a better place for a group Birthday Cele-cation - great food (thanks Puck!), drink, music and a little football (Roll Tide)! I can not thank Brian enough for his personal attention to help make our trip one we will never forget. Hope to be back in 2 years....!

Why they chose this property

Marion and I first visited Virgin Gorda in October, 1996 as a result of a corporate get-together. On that trip we rented three villas for about 20 people and had the time of our lives.

We were seasoned travelers by that time and had been to many of the islands in the Caribbean but the charm of Virgin Gorda and the beach at Mahoe told us that we had found paradise. We vowed to come back as soon as possible. Several months later, a friend of ours called to say that a lot had been released for purchase. We bought the lot virtually sight unseen and on the basis of a site map. After several years of return visits and winding our way through the building approval process, we obtained government permission to build on the lot. Needless to say we came down every few months to renew our vision in terms of the villa layout and overall design. The design process was aided by our stays at some of the other villas at Mahoe Bay. We borrowed concepts and design ideas from many of the other villas on the island and we thank those villa owners for their efforts in having gone ahead and forged the way. The result is that our villa was the last one completed within the Mahoe area and incorporates the best ideas from many of the other villas as well as our own sense of lazy island living.

After several years of work with our builder on the plans for Adagio Villa in 2000 - 2001, we began construction in April, 2001. Adagio was completed in February, 2002. During Christmas 2001 and February 2002 we took delivery of several containers of furniture and appliances from Miami and Canada and set to work decorating the rooms in a style that is very much Caribbean. In March 2002 we proudly opened the villa for guests.

The grounds and gardens were landscaped and planted in 2002 and 2003 and are now fully mature. We hope that you will take some time to stroll through the gardens as we've planted many native plants and other tropical species.

What makes this property unique

Our primary concern in designing the villa were to maximize the free flow of space to accommodate larger family and group vacations; provide our guests with a very luxurious setting; ensure our guests had private areas to escape the pressures of larger groups; provide a safe environment for children of all ages; and make sure the villa was handicapped accessible as we had elderly parents at the time. Please contact us at bjmacdonald@rogers.com and we can assist in making the right choice for you as a couple or as an extended family.
