Overview
The Development
Prickly Bay Waterside is a luxury residential development which offers the very best of both worlds - the hassle-free amenities of a first class hotel with the privacy and comfort of your own home. The high-end project boasts a unique architectural design modelled after a modern nautical theme. Nautical cues can be found everywhere from the stainless steel railings to porthole windows and symbolic masts that resemble those found on mega yachts. The signature design vision results in a sleek, elegant and ultra-modern development that sets the standards for a new wave of contemporary Caribbean design. The inclusion of new techniques and innovation also provides Prickly Bay Waterside with an outstanding quality of build. The structure features state-of-the-art materials and design technologies including carbon fibre and composite mouldings and balustrades, often used in other high-tech fields like the automotive and aeronautical industries. Prickly Bay Waterside is one of the first developments in the world to feature some of these materials and technologies. Eventually composed of 78 waters-edge residential units of up to 6,179 sq. feet, Phase 1 is segmented in three styles of residences including Waterside apartments, Spinnaker apartments and Lawn houses created to take advantage of the stunning location. Created to highlight the location's yachting atmosphere and lifestyle, the units also feature stunning architectural design that maximises the use of indoor/outdoor living with extensive use of glass doors and generous space all units that provide with outstanding ocean views.
Marine Houses
At the water's edge are the Marine Houses. Imposing five bedroom, five bathroom houses, largely made out of composite and built out over the water on steel and concrete piles, they look for all the world like moored superyachts and come complete with their own berths alongside. With a total of 6,179 square feet of internal and external space, each Marine House feels wonderfully spacious. The main reception and dining room is a massive, double height space, with glass doors opening out to the spa and deck. Aikona yacht decking is used throughout. A carbon fibre spiral staircase leads from the deck up to the master bedroom’s private balcony above. The four other bedrooms all have private views over the bay. A glass staircase leads from the deck to the ground floor. At its base is a glass floor, which provides intriguing views into the Ocean. Also on the ground floor is a spectacular Miele kitchen, a utility room and a cold room store, a boat store and a docking port from the buggy that comes with the house. The roof terrace provides a stunning entertainment area, served by a dumb waiter from the kitchen on the ground floor, and has its own barbecue and cloakroom facilities.
Lawn Houses
Behind the Marine Houses, a 4m wide boardwalk circles the site, the perfect place for a promenade alongside a series of interlinked swimming pools. On the landside of the swimming pools are manicured lawns. Overlooking them and through to the bay beyond, are the Lawn Houses, each with five bedrooms and five bathrooms. With just over 5,600 square feet, the Lawn Houses feel immensely spacious. Finished throughout the white limestone flooring, there is an optional glass mezzanine in the double height reception area, reached by a carbon fibre, spiral staircase. The master bedroom suite comes with a dressing room and a bathroom where you can lie in the bath and enjoy the view out of a private window on the world. The roof terrace, like all the other floors, is served by a four person passenger lift and has stunning possibilities for entertaining, with facilities for an outdoor kitchen and drinks cooler.
Spinnaker Apartments & Duplex Apartments
Moving away from the sea, the land starts to rise steeply. Set into the cliff itself, and enjoying amazing views over the whole property are the Spinnaker Apartments. Beautiful solid white limestone floors fitted throughout. All have glass doors at the front with large balconies (some positively huge) to expand the already generous living space still further. Some have roof terraces, some have plunge pools, some have both. There is a great deal of variety - one, two or three bedrooms, horizontal as well as vertical duplexes. The apartments have one luxury bathroom for every bedroom. The majority have an additional bathroom/cloakroom to cater for those extra guests. Beautifully appointed with Miele kitchens, these are fabulous examples of gracious, spacious living.
Location
Starting with a stunning location, Prickly Bay Waterside is designed to make the most of the constantly changing view. The development is situated in Prickly Bay located in the Lance Epines peninsula in the fashionable southern end of Grenada.
