Whether you are enjoying an exotic meal; swimming in the bright blue sea; soaking in the jacuzzi; de-stressing with a massage; de-toxing in the sauna; peacefully strolling the estate or just relaxing under the flicker of the star studded sky; we guarantee you'll leave here feeling completely pampered and rejuvenated.
Beautifully manicured lawns, wild tropical foliage, and glorious coastal views, all await you at Bolt House. A vibrant flower garden and soothing lily pond flank the east side of the house; a yoga deck on the west side is perfectly positioned under the shade of a tree looking out to a magnificent view of the ocean. The terrace, in the shade of the almond trees, allows for casual dining during the day and a romantic dinner setting amidst the flicker of candles and torches, at night.
With it's rich and almost mythical heritage, dating back to the '50s and '60's, Bolt House has played a significant role in the social life of the island, hosting such luminaries as Charlie Chaplin and the Queen Mother of England.
The property came alive during the era of Ian Fleming, thespian and author of the James Bond novels; Noel Coward, famed artist; and at the centre of Bolt House's history, Blanche Blackwell daughter of Alexandre Lindo.
Several decades later Blanche's son, Christopher Blackwell bought the GoldenEye property, which is still a close neighbor to the Bolt House. In 2000 Blanche Blackwell sold the Bolt House to it's current owner who has totally refurbished the 5000 square foot villa ncluding all new bathrooms, infinity pool, new furnishing and electronics.
Augmenting this secluded five-bedroom private home, is a one-bedroom cottage at GoldenEye, Spanish Elm with an exterior kitchenette, a front terrace overlooking the lagoon, secluded access to it below and a new private deck right on the water. All Bolt House's bookings include Spanish Elm access to the lagoon and beach which offers a full complement of water activities.
The bedroom at Spanish Elm is air conditioned and has a private bathroom. The cottage also has a TV and telephone. Bolt House guests can use Spanish Elm as a sixth bedroom or use it to relax during the day after a tantalizing day on the beach.
