Friendship Bay Cottages: Hilltop Villa and Friendship Hideaway

Come visit beautiful Bequia and Hilltop Villa

Capture the essence of relaxed, beautiful Bequia with a stay at the Hilltop Villa. This is the place where you can while away the hours watching the sailboats come and go in the harbor or choose between two wonderful beaches just a short walk from the villa. Lower Bay beach, while never crowded has several restaurants and beach bars for those times when you crave a little stimulation, or walk down to Princess Margaret beach for its fine white sands, calm clear waters, and excellent swimming.

Hilltop Villa has much to offer the vacationing family or group of friends. The villa can sleep ten in five bedrooms, three are doubles and two with twin beds. All rooms are screened and have ceiling fans and nets. There are three baths.

Most of our guests dine al fresco on the terrace or you may choose to dine indoors or on your porch overlooking the yacht harbor.

Hilltop Villa is centrally located in a quiet residential neighborhood a few minutes drive to town where you will find grocery stores, shops, restaurants, and the two scuba diving shops. You also are only a few minute drive to the picturesque beach of Friendship Bay. View a map of the location of the villa. We believe we offer the most desirable location on the island! Come see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
