Situated in a rain forest like environment in the lush exclusive
Woodlands, Free Breeze is a unique vacation villa on the Caribbean
Isle of Montserrat. The villa is beautifully located less than a 10
minute walk to Woodlands beach and overlooks the Caribbean Sea on
almost an acre. Tropical gardens resplendent with banana groves, mango,
almond, avocado and coconut trees. Enjoy the colorful blooms and watch
the local wildlife come out early in the morning and early evening.
Panoramic sea views with full veranda porch surrounding the upper
level. Extra futon bed can handle that special extra person you want
to bring along.
A quiet peaceful island with no hustle or bustle Montserrat is "a Caribbean treasure, spectacular by nature" and it is truly so. It has a rich history, and there are excellent local guides who will show you their island home including a visit to see the "modern day Pompeii" that was once the busy capital city of Plymouth. In 1995 the Soufriere Hills Volcano came to life and the city is now buried in ash.
Montserrat is a British Colony with British Governor General. AIR Studios back in the 80's, built by Sir George Martin, were a huge draw to some world famous musicians including Sir Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, to name but a few. The studios were moved to London, but Sir George and his wife maintained their home in Montserrat and with the support of many artists worked tirelessly to raise funds for the building of the cultural and community centre that was opened by HRH Prince of Wales and his wife in 2008.
There is something for everyone on Montserrat. Numerous hiking trails for all levels, and guides can be arranged. There are 33 species of birds to be 'spotted' and through August and September the Green Turtle, the Hawksbill, and the Loggerhead turtles come ashore to lay their eggs on the beach.
There are a number of excellent dive centres offering instruction and tours in the pristine waters around the island. Snorkeling may be your choice, and again tours and equipment rental if you require, are available, as are kayaks.
Bikes can be rented, horse riding is offered, and a very well respected resident photographer offers a number of courses a year.
The shimmering volcanic sandy beaches are usually deserted. There will be no one trying to sell you beads or tours! The people of Montserrat are the friendliest you will meet anywhere in the world. Always ready with a smile a wave and happy to share a joke. Crime is almost unheard of.
