About
Grand Cul de Sac is a reef-protected lagoon on the east coast: shallow, calm, and the main spot on the island for kitesurfing, windsurfing and paddleboarding. Villas here look out over the lagoon, and a small cluster of hotels and restaurants sits along the water. It suits families with children who want water that stays flat, and anyone who would rather be on the water than looking down at it from a hillside.
The Collection
Showing 2 villas
Both villas currently listed in Grand Cul de Sac are six bedrooms, looking out over the lagoon rather than open ocean. Because the reef keeps the water flat, this is an area families with young children often choose over a surf beach, and it’s also the island’s main base for kitesurfing and windsurfing if anyone in the group wants to try either.
A small cluster of hotels and restaurants sits along the water, so there’s more to walk to here than in most of the quieter east-coast areas — useful for an easy dinner out without a drive back over the hills after dark.
