Home description
Sunset Valley Estate is located between the sleepy fishing villages of Castara and Parlatuvier on the Caribbean coast of Tobago. This area is considered the most tranquil and loveliest on the island. Sunset Valley rests on a ridge overlooking picturesque Englishman’s Bay and is surrounded by three acres of lush, manicured gardens and orchards. The panoramas from the villa’s huge wrap-around veranda are truly breathtaking….the crystal blue turquoise of the Caribbean in the front and the lush, deep greens of the rain forest in the rear….the views are simply unforgettable.
The views are truly unsurpassed....
Sunset Valley sits high above the beautiful Caribbean....
The large pool patio also features an outdoor shower...
The large great room has plenty of room for your entire family...

The Tobago region
For years the island of Tobago was the Caribbean’s undiscovered gem. Although that has recently changed, Tobago still retains its rustic charm and natural beauty.
Tobago offers its visitors a wide variety of wonderful choices…. Enjoy the warmth and tranquility of the many beautiful beaches, the flora and fauna of the rain forest (Tobago boasts the oldest National Forest Reserve in the Western Hemisphere), sailing, diving, calypso music, snorkeling, gambling (there are several small casinos), bird watching, hiking, steel drum music, surfing, golf (there are two 18 hole courses), tennis, or sample the delightfully unique local cuisine. With so many choices you can stay as busy or active as you like.
But perhaps the real beauty of Tobago is found in the slow, “island” pace of life. Relax. Do nothing. Recharge your batteries. Escape the stress and vigor of everyday life and surrender to the peacefulness that surrounds you.
The island is as different as the varied choices it offers you. Near the airport you can find several four and five star resorts, as well as smaller local guesthouses and hotels. There you can come across the same tourist infrastructure as any other tourist destination (restaurants, banks, shops, dive centres, etc.), plus several good bathing beaches and the Western Hemisphere’s largest coral formation (the Buccoo reef). This area is also very warm and is the driest part of Tobago. The best beaches are at Pigeon Point and Store Bay.
As you travel north, you will encounter the small villages of Mason Hall, Moriah, Castara, Parlatuvier and Chalottesville. The air will become cooler and the flora will become much greener and denser. You are on the edge of the Tobago’s lush rainforest. Life is definitely slower here. The walks through the forest are wonderful and the beaches are perfect. In fact, CondeNast travel magazine recently named Englishman’s Bay beach as one of the world’s ten best. It is truly special. The beaches at Castara, Parlatuvier, Bloody Bay and Charlottesville are all worth mentioning. You will find the Caribbean surf is mild and the people friendly.
Tobago’s eastern coast is also unique. This is the Atlantic or windward side of the island. You will find the surf here somewhat rougher and more unpredictable than on the Caribbean coast. There are still several good bathing spots, however. Speyside (which also features Tobago’s best scuba spots), King’s Bay and Bacolet all provide for enjoyable bathing. Bacolet is noteworthy as providing the location for the 1960’s Disney film, Swiss Family Robinson.
Do yourself a favor. Come to Tobago and discover one of the world’s remaining unspoiled tourist stops. Immerse yourself in its serenity. The Beatles did it. Members of the Royal family do it. You should try it too…
Castara / Englishman's Bay area
Sunset Valley is perfectly located. Three of Tobago’s best beaches are within ten minutes of the estate. The best of these, Englishman’s Bay, is just down the hill. CondeNast travel magazine recently named Englishman’s Bay as one of the world’s best beaches. Englishman’s Bay is truly picture postcard perfect…. uncrowded, unspoiled, and undeniably lovely. Englishman’s Bay also offers a nice selection of coral and fish for snorkeling (yes, we have snorkel gear for your use). Castara and Parlatuvier also offer excellent bathing and are very close.
Some of Tobago’s best bird watching and hiking can be found in Sunset Valley’s immediate area. The scenery is wonderful and the wildlife in and around the estate is remarkable. Other activities, such as golf, sailing, diving, or sport fishing are a reasonable drive away. We can help arrange any of these activities for you. Of course, you could always choose to do absolutely nothing (you are on holiday, right?). Sunset Valley is the ideal place to relax….peaceful, serene and cooled by the soft breezes of the Caribbean.
