Self-Catering Villa in Arnos Vale, Tobago
Kapinjala is an immensely striking 4-bedroom luxury villa situated on a hillside in beautiful Arnos Vale. The villa offers the most stunning views over the surrounding hills and out to sea. This is one of the most tranquil properties that we have ever stayed at in Tobago and the villa offers the very highest standards of accommodation. The views from the house, deck and infinity pool are almost impossible to describe. We can only summarise our feelings by saying that we think it will be some time before any other property impresses us quite as much as Kapinjala.

3 x Self-Catering Villas in Grafton, Tobago
Black Rock Dreams is a prestigious up-market development at the Black Rock end of Grafton Beach in Stonehaven Bay. The building comprises of eight 3-bedroom condominiums on two levels. The four villa-apartment units at either end of the building are particularly spacious, light and desirable. We recommend three of these units. The fourth is now in private hands and no longer available for rental.
The stunning beach-front location, superb facilities and high levels of accommodation put these units firmly in the upper tier of Tobago holiday accommodation. We describe Black Rock Dreams as villa-apartments because these luxurious accommodations are in many ways more suited to holidaymakers who would normally be considering a holiday rental villa.
