The Villa
Shambhala — a Sanskrit word meaning “place of peace” — lives entirely up to its name. Conceived by renowned architect Rafael Amuchastegui, this expansive beachfront estate is defined by a rare sense of stillness and connection to its surroundings, where classical Caribbean architecture, open-air living, and carefully considered design come together across more than two acres of lush coastline.
The estate unfolds as a series of beautifully proportioned spaces linked by open Tuscan-style galleries, creating a rhythm of privacy and gathering throughout the property. At its centre, the great room establishes the tone: alabaster walls, vintage furnishings, arched French doors framed by plantation shutters, and a hand-painted cathedral ceiling combine to create an atmosphere that feels both grand and deeply welcoming. Throughout, the villa balances elegance with warmth — nothing feels excessive, yet every detail feels intentional.
Designed as both a private family retreat and an exceptional entertaining estate, Shambhala offers the flexibility of a standalone five-bedroom beachfront villa, a separate three-bedroom guest house, or the full eight-bedroom estate experience.
The Location
Set at the edge of Long Bay Beach — consistently recognised among the Caribbean’s most beautiful stretches of coastline — Shambhala occupies a remarkably private position on more than two acres of landscaped tropical grounds.
Despite the sense of seclusion, the estate remains just ten minutes from central Grace Bay, allowing guests easy access to restaurants, marinas, and island amenities while returning each day to complete tranquillity. The beach itself offers calm turquoise waters, soft white sand, and uninterrupted views, creating an atmosphere that feels distinctly removed from the pace of everyday life. The property also benefits from multiple vantage points across the estate, including a dedicated viewing pavilion positioned to take full advantage of the coastal setting.
The Bedrooms
Shambhala accommodates guests across a beautifully composed main villa and a separate guest house, allowing for both connection and privacy between families or groups travelling together.
The five-bedroom main villa reflects the estate’s classic Caribbean character, with ocean-facing suites, elegant bathrooms, and peaceful garden outlooks woven throughout the home. The separate guest house introduces a more contemporary aesthetic, with open-plan living spaces, elevated sea views, and its own private plunge pool terrace.
Across both residences, the bedrooms are understated, calm, and thoughtfully designed, with natural materials, soft textures, and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.

Indoors
The interiors of Shambhala are layered, elegant, and deeply comfortable. The great room forms the social heart of the estate, combining formal seating areas with quieter alcoves designed for reading, conversation, or evening films. A formal dining area seats ten guests beneath the dramatic painted ceiling, framed by arched doors opening towards the ocean beyond.
The main kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, with state-of-the-art appliances, granite countertops, tumbled marble backsplashes, and custom Guatambu hardwood cabinetry imported from Argentina. In the guest house, a separate open-plan kitchen and living area creates an additional independent gathering space ideal for extended families or groups.
The lower level of the guest house introduces a more playful atmosphere, with a dedicated bar and games room featuring pool table, table hockey, and a private gymnasium.
Throughout the estate, the emphasis remains on natural airflow, open living, and an effortless transition between interior and exterior spaces.
Outdoors
Outdoor living at Shambhala is immersive and beautifully paced. The estate’s tropical grounds are filled with quiet pathways, shaded terraces, and pockets of privacy that allow guests to experience the property differently throughout the day.
The beachfront setting invites long, unhurried afternoons by the sea, while multiple covered galleries and terraces provide naturally shaded areas for dining and relaxation. The guest house balcony terrace, complete with infinity-edge plunge pool, offers elevated views across the gardens towards the ocean. Beyond the beach itself, the estate includes a floodlit tennis court, outdoor squash court, and dedicated viewing pavilion, creating a recreational offering that feels expansive without ever overwhelming the villa’s sense of calm.
Services
Shambhala is supported by a dedicated team including daily housekeeping, private chef service, and butler service, delivering a seamless and quietly attentive experience throughout each stay.
From curated dining experiences to pre-arrival provisioning and tailored island activities, the villa’s hospitality is designed to feel highly personalised while preserving the estate’s relaxed atmosphere and sense of privacy.
