Limin' with Kate Moss - "My perfect day in the Caribbean is at Frenchmans Lookout on Tortola. We start off by having a big breakfast. Then we lie by the pool before going down to the dock. We’ll have a late lunch on the boat or on another island somewhere. And we often go snorkeling at Virgin Gorda, which is really close."

“There’s really no need to ever leave this sanctuary, caressed by cool trade winds that carry the intoxicating smell of jasmine and gardenia across the deck."

"...open, airy rooms with high ceilings and the wide porches that wrap the entire house to provide stunning water views."

"…might never leave this sanctuary, caressed by cool trade winds that carry the intoxicating smell of jasmine and gardenia across the deck."

"…an unobstructed sunrise and sunset."

Fall 2004

“The pirates in the British Virgin Islands knew a good view when they found one: at the west end of Tortola , from a hilly spit of land called Frenchman's Cay, they would watch for treasure ships. The buccaneering days are in the past, but the cay's sunrise-to-sunset panoramas can still be enjoyed when you stay at the picturesque two-story villa Frenchman's Lookout. The Carolina-style house—complete with sixty-four French doors that effectively unite inside and outside—was recently bought by American hotelier Richard Friedman, who refurbished the property with an eye to ultra-comfortable Caribbean ambiance."

"…after a few days here, plans tend to melt away. Then all you want to do is laze in a hammock and stare out to sea; perhaps you'll even spot a treasure ship on the horizon. ”
