The House in Bequia, Lower Bay

Cassava was designed and constructed by the distinguished Mustique architect Thomas Dehen. Comprising four en-suite double bedrooms, its design and construction has been inspired both by local and by classic English style, its materials and furniture having been selected and imported from places close by and afar.

The house is fully equipped with everything you would expect from a modern luxury house, with fans throughout and additional air conditioning in the three bedrooms.

Laid out over two floors with one bedroom off the main living room and a large entertaining room that extends outdoors onto an exquisitely furnished, covered, oceanfront terrace the length of the house. The main bedroom has a 6’6″ x 7′ four-poster bed whilst bedrooms 2 and 3 have 3′ x 6’6″ single twin beds which can be interlinked into doubles and bedroom 4 has a 5ft king-size bed.
