Villa Agua

About this listing

At Villa Agua, you arrive across a travertine path that floats over a shallow reflecting pond, palms standing in the water on either side. This is a five-bedroom contemporary family villa set into the Barranca hillside, with sea views from the upper floor and an included cook handling all the meals for ten.

The villa is built around water. The curved pool runs the length of the back terrace, with a sun-shelf at the shallow end for the smallest guests. A long alfresco table for twelve waits in the shade nearby. By late afternoon the household has spread out — teenagers in the upper-floor lounge with the wood-slat wall, the older guests on the primary-suite terrace where the ocean shows past the palm canopy.

Barranca sits on the resort’s northern hillside, with the Racquet Center a short cart ride down and a longer cart trip to Teeth of the Dog, ranked the Caribbean’s top course by the World Golf Awards. Minitas Beach is a quick ride past the marketplace. Villa Agua is the villa to book when there are ten of you, half of them under twelve, and you want a base where the kids can scatter, the adults can stop noticing them, and someone else is putting dinner on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

How private is the outdoor space at Villa Agua?

The villa’s own back terrace, curved pool, and dining lawn sit within the property’s walled garden, bordered by tall coconut palms and dense hedging, so the immediate outdoor area is screened from the road. From the upper-level rooms, sightlines look outward over the hillside toward the sea rather than into other plots. Guests using the pool deck and back garden won’t be in eyeline of anyone outside the villa.

Is Villa Agua suitable for young children?

Yes — the layout works for families with small kids. The curved pool has a built-in sun-shelf at the shallow end where toddlers and pre-swimmers can sit safely in inches of water. The lawn is wide, flat, and palm-bordered, with room for running games. Two of the five bedrooms have two beds set up side by side, good for siblings or grandparents sharing with their grandkids. The media room has a deep sectional that doubles as a casual den at the end of the day, and cribs, high chairs, and baby gear can be arranged through the on-site concierge ahead of arrival.

Can Villa Agua host a private dinner or family celebration?

Yes. The poolside alfresco terrace holds a permanent dining table for twelve under a wide market parasol, with the curved pool and palm-bordered lawn as the backdrop. The formal indoor dining room seats eight under a recessed wood ceiling with full-height glass to the garden, so a larger group can move between indoor and outdoor settings without rearranging furniture. The included cook prepares all the meals at the villa — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — and the team can scale a celebration menu in advance through the on-site concierge. The wide back lawn can also accommodate a marquee for a larger event.

What’s the water garden at the entrance to Villa Agua?

The villa is entered across a travertine path that floats over a shallow reflecting pond. Bismarck palms rise from circular planters set into the water on either side of the walkway, and a coral-rock wall frames the approach. The water motif carries through the property — the curved infinity-edge pool on the back terrace, the oval mirrors in the bathrooms — and gives the villa its name. It’s an arrival sequence that signals the kind of stay the rest of the villa is set up for.
