Recent Reviews:

"The White Bay Villas service was excellent! Great communication with the staff before and during our stay. Palm Villa was perfect for our group, clean and amazing amenities."

"The value [of WBV] is second to none (look at these views) and the flexibility of choosing from one bedroom all the way up to 4+ bedroom villas depending on the size of your group makes it hard to beat. We stayed in the Palm Villa (formerly Plantation) and it was perfect for our group of 7."

Laying the foundation.

A Legacy in Stone:

Built with passion and precision in the '70s, Palm Villa was the brainchild of our owner, who envisioned a haven that seamlessly blended classic West Indian aesthetics with modern, yet simple elegance. Serving as his private residence, the villa boasts a timeless design that has become synonymous with the White Bay Villas experience. Its sturdy structure and purposeful build quality has withstood the test of time, braving hurricanes and maintaining its allure for decades.

Celebrity Sojourns:

Palm Villa has witnessed the laughter, relaxation, and inspiration of numerous celebrities over the years. Kate Moss and Mario Sorrenti, capturing the essence of Calvin Klein fragrance in an iconic ad, found solace and inspiration on White Bay Beach just down from the villa. The villa has also welcomed legendary musicians like Keith Richards and Peter Townsend, and Maxi Priest and Eddie Levert, adding a melodic note to its storied history. These luminaries were drawn not just to the allure of Jost Van Dyke but also to the unmistakable charm of Palm Villa.


Artistry on Display:

Stepping inside Palm Villa is like entering an art gallery curated by the renowned local artist, Joe Hodge. The walls adorned with Hodge's masterpieces elevate the villa's ambiance, adding a touch of Caribbean artistry to its classic and vintage aesthetic. Each brushstroke tells a story, creating an immersive experience for guests who appreciate the marriage of elegance and culture.

Palm Villa stands as more than just a structure; it is the embodiment of White Bay Villas' commitment to timeless elegance, resilience, and a rich tapestry of experiences.
