Not just a pretty face, it's designed with maximum privacy for each guest & amenities you don't find everywhere! Its elevation in the hills creates views of the glimmering ocean & neighbour islands with a secluded feeling. BUT you'll be just 550 yards from Long Bay's white-sand beach & oceanfront bars & restaurants Remember to follow our socials @villasoftortola for all things BVI! LIVING AREAS: Activate 'holiday mode' as you enter Solaria through the grand wooden doors into the tropical plant-bordered courtyard. It's the perfect introduction to your own little slice of paradise. The villa is split into 3 pavilions and you'll find the living areas in the main house. The front door leads into the heart of the house with ocean views everywhere you look. The living room is furnished comfortably for 6 or more, with breezes flowing through windows and doors on 3 of the walls. The 55" flatscreen with local FLOW box is there if you need it as is the AC. A set of screened French doors leads to a small porch overlooking the ocean while 2 more sets of French doors lead directly onto the screened-in porch for relaxed dining al-fresco any time of day or night without the bother of mosquitos...I know some of you out there are very attractive to those little bugs! The kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances and plenty of space for more than one chef in the house... The kitchen has a hatch making it easy to pass through to the screened-in dining room, and it has double doors leading to the indoor dining room which is decorated with a selection of pretty, eclectic pieces. Leave the French doors open for breeze or close and turn on the AC. BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS: It's actually rare to find a villa with 3 such comparable bedrooms so that couples sojourning together don't have to pull straws over who sleeps where! Each bedroom is fully screened, has a comfortable and beautifully dressed king-size wooden bed, an en-suite bathroom and French doors leading to a private balcony with seating, ocean breezes and mesmerising views of the azure waters 1) The Primary suite is in the 2nd pavilion just short sunlight filled stroll past the pool. It's a lovely room furnished with Balinese teak furniture with ensuite bathroom and a balcony that's the perfect spot for a little reading, surrounded by the lush foliage rustling in the breeze. 2&3)The 3rd pavilion is to the right of the main entrance and houses two more bedrooms. One bedroom is upstairs with a 33'' flatscreen TV with local FLOW box and a shower and tub in the bathroom; the other down a small flight of steps from the courtyard ensuring everyone has their privacy. STEP OUTSIDE: Solaria is at the perfect elevation for the ocean to take on that glassy, serene appearance as yachts cruise by, and yet you can walk to Long Bay beach below in just minutes. The L-shaped pool and surrounding deck is the prefect spot to admire these views with a drink or book at hand with plenty of areas for both sun or shade-bathing. A secluded alcove behind the pool deck offers a built-in gas BBQ for grilling up some local Anegada lobster, and the deck is furnished with a 2nd option for al-fresco dining.

We traveled with all adult family members and were overwhelmed with the beauty. Rosy was there cleaning and happily gave us a tour of the home. We got lost coming back from the store and called and got turn by turn directions while on the phone. You will likely want a car but man oh man it’s a steep drive. Used the pool more than expected and absolutely loved our time at Solaria. We will be back and highly recommend this home. Also our first trip to Tortola did not disappoint. What a lovely place with equally lovely people. ##### Mendy W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie M.

The villa layout was perfect, giving each couple privacy when needed. The kitchen and common areas were well appointed and we had everything we needed for a nice day at the beach. Of course the best thing was the location. The views were absolutely amazing and we could even hear the waves from below. The drive up is easy and quick. Having stayed in many places throughout the islands on all sorts of "roads" this was a plus. We walked down to the restaurant for coffee in the morning plus a walk along the beach. Other restaurants were very close by. Communication with owner/manager was quick. Overall, we would stay here again in a heartbeat! ##### Carrie M.

Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unbelievable Views, Beautiful Villa Sam, Sharlene and Pinky are the most welcoming hosts we've ever met. The villa is large, with private bedrooms and en suites for each, so families can have together time as well as alone time. Air conditioning throughout, including in the family room (a BIG bonus in our book). The pool is in the central part of the villa and overlooks the sea. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need to prepare a meal or bring food back from any excursion and enjoy on real plates rather than paper/takeout. Check-in/check-out is a breeze. We rented a vehicle (make sure you stay left and watch for cars on the switchbacks/curvy mountain roads), but also had Eric (Eric's taxi) take us into Road Town for shopping and lunch - he knows every road in Tortola and how to get to anything. Plus he's just a downright super nice person. Solaria is such a beautiful place, and perfect for families with teens/older kids. ##### Kristin M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela Apr 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This was a beautiful option for our stay! The view is spectacular and the accommodations were very nice. The kitchen had a lot of stocked items which made it easy to cook! We were shocked at the items and condiments that were available. A cleaning crew was suppose to come on Friday, in which we would be out of the house, but they didn't come until Saturday while we were still there and trying to dress to go somewhere. A bit of inconvenience but it was doable. If there was any complaint at all, it would be upon making the deposit, we were charged some kind of fee for 4 people staying in a 3 bedroom property. After asking about this, it was explained that it was just a charge VRBO has. It really doesn't make sense to have an extra fee for 4 people when you have a 3 bdrm house. I could understand if it was a 2 bdrm home and we had 6 people. Just beware, maybe all VRBO's charge a per person on top of the actual rental fee.

The property was exactly what we expected and the area offered plenty to do. Cleaning staff managed by Rose was also awesome. Great experience! Even got used to the driving! ##### Karen K.

Nov 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Villa but Disappointed We are a group of 3 ladies from the US who travel once a year to catch up and relax and we finally made it to BVI after covid delayed us one year. We chose this Villa because it had 3 bedrooms and we could each have our own privacy, yet have plenty of space to share and enjoy each others company since we don’t see each often. Lets start by saying the Villa is absolutely beautiful and provides a breathtaking view. Be prepared for a drive up some very steep roads to get to this place. That is a trade off for this view. It is worth it! Everything was very clean, very tastefully decorated, and furnished with very nice quality furniture. This place could/should be deserving of a 5 star Villa. There was one huge negative. The bedrooms on the courtyard side had roach visitors during the week. We fully understand this is an island and there will be bugs, but these were roaches! The issue was first noticed on the bottom floor bedroom early in the stay and was reported and pictures were sent to the housekeeper for proof/verification of what we were seeing. This seemed to be downplayed because on Friday (the day before we were leaving) the place still was not exterminated. The person staying in this room had to leave the lights on 24x7 in order to keep them away as they do not like light. Since the lights were kept on, some of the roaches crawled under clothes that were sitting on the dresser to hide in darkness. The last morning we were there, the person staying in the bedroom above the bottom floor bedroom found a roach on her bathroom vanity with LOTS of little ants all over it. A one week vacation sleeping with the lights on, and finding some roaches in your room and under your clothes when you picked them up just didn’t equate to the relaxation one would envision on this beautiful island in this beautiful Villa. This certainly left a disappointed feeling. We are mentioning this not to turn people away from this place, but to make sure if a customer has a legitimate complaint it is addressed in a timely manner. As meticulous as this place is, we are confident the owner will address this quickly so future guests can sleep comfortably. ##### Maria D.

The pictures capture the villa accurately, but they can't capture the calm you feel when you spend a few days taking it all in. The location of the villa is great. You can walk to a great coffee shop at the bottom of the hill in less than 10 minutes and there are great restaurants within a very short drive.. Sam is so responsive and helpful. Can't wait to go back. ##### Nadine D. Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly G.

Because of the covid guidelines we had to spend the first five days of our vacation quarantining in the villa. The villa fit our needs wonderfully. We had plenty of space as to not feel confined during our quarantine. We loved sitting by the pool, working out in the front courtyard, or spending time at night in the living room. Sam the manager is very helpful and responds quickly. The view from the villa is stunning, you can see the ocean and jost van dyke in the distance. ##### Kelly G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John B. Mar 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful experience! Great property, reasonably priced. Really liked west side of island. Terrific views, great layout. Short drives to great food and beaches. Perfect for 3 couples. Property management instructions very good, loved the recommended taxi service by Eric. Only con was walk to beach is a difficult down and, especially up, if you are not in reasonable shape, as incline is steep, but short drive is easy option. Had great visit, would do it again! ##### John B. Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire L.

The house was spacious and comfortable with spectacular views. Sam and her team were great communicators and very responsive. They worked with us to schedule a grocery delivery prearrival and even put them away. We had some internet issues which resulted in a quick turnaround on a new modem. We enjoyed cooking in and the kitchen had a nice array of tools to do that. We also enjoyed some great meals out as recommended by the team. The island had some challenging hills and driving but that is part of the beauty. Overall the house is stunning and the support team before and during was outstanding. ##### Claire L.
