It feels crisp, fresh and uncluttered, secluded, relaxing, even meditative in ambience. This is the most original escape in the Caribbean”. And according to Playboy Magazine, "you won't find a more spectacular retreat than Villa Being'. Complete Privacy: Being offers complete privacy and seclusion - no noise, no traffic, no worry, no fuss and even no clothes. Just you and nature. For even more privacy, just arrange with our team. Bedrooms: Master bedroom a.k.a. Luxury Ocean View Suite - This room is designed to bring the outdoors in. There are 13 doors that allow guests to sleep virtually al fresco with lovely views of the Caribbean Sea on one side and the gardens on the other. Imagine going to sleep on our luxury, hand-made, four-poster king-sized bed with the calming sounds of the waves and waking up in comfort to the sounds of birds and nature all around. And if you’re looking for romance, then the master bedroom is ideal for you. With its own private garden and secluded balcony overlooking the ocean, you can have a truly romantic evening watching the sunset or getting lost in the vastness of the stars above. The master bedroom doesn’t merely have a bathroom. We call it a bath house. Here’s why. The bath house is a pavilion adjoining the master bedroom. It’s almost as large as the bedroom itself. And when you step into the shower, you’re actually stepping out onto an open-air, hanging ‘deck’ overlooking the ocean to give you a completely outdoor experience (no roof or walls here, just fresh air and amazing vistas). And although it’s ‘outdoors’ you still have the luxury of hot and cold water. Blue Room – a.k.a. Premium Ocean View Room If you prefer a more enclosed environment but with the same level of comfort and style, then the Blue Room is ideal for you. This is our only air conditioned bedroom for those who still want modern amenities in the midst of the natural environment. Don’t worry, this room and its shower still have amazing views of the ocean that you can enjoy from your bed, the terrace or bathroom. Caribbean Room a.k.a. Deluxe Ocean View Room Our Caribbean Room does exactly what its name dictates; you truly feel that you are in the Caribbean when you stay in this room. The six colonial-style bay windows open out to the Caribbean Sea. Imagine waking up and opening your eyes and the first thing you see is blue – blue sea and blue sky. There’s nothing that puts you in a better mood, well, maybe getting the same experience while also waking up in the arms of the one you love. Nothing can beat that. Anyone who has ever seen the en suite bathroom for the Caribbean Room always go, “Wow!” Imagine sitting on the proverbial ‘throne’ and enjoying a view of the sky above or the sea below. That’s the experience you get in this bathroom. And in the shower, you can literally reach out and touch the nearby plum tree or soak up some sunshine. This gives a completely different definition sun bathing. Beaches: There are many beaches in Tobago. However, our nearest beach is the very secluded Turtle Bay. The trek takes about 10-12 minutes. It's a bit adventurous but it is worth it. You will almost always have this beach to yourselves. Between April and August, Leatherback Turtles go there to lay eggs, particularly at night. Infinity Pool: If swimming with the fishes is not your thing, then our infinity pool will do. It's an engineering marvel and is the only pool in the Caribbean built on stilts. And because no one's around, nothing's more freeing than the occasional skinny dip with that special someone. Bird Watching: At Being, you will be able to view some of Tobago's famous birds and indigenous species. You may even awake to the unmistakable call of the Cocorico, the national bird of Tobago. And If you are lucky, you may even see this extraordinary large, brown bird perched on one of the trees in front of Being. Free Wi Fi: Being offers free Wi Fi. Just ask us how to get access on your own portable computer device. Other Amenities: Enjoy a captivating movie or listen to the soothing sounds of your favorite piece of music, on our hi-tech style Bose surround sound system, which boasts both indoor and outdoor speakers so that you may enjoy your favorite melodies from the location of your choice, even while taking a dip in the infinity pool. There are no neighbors to disturb so turn up the volume and grab your partner for an unexpected dance under the stars.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

A little piece of heaven on earth
want to send a most heartfelt thank you for your gracious gift of "Villa Being" during our recent visit to Tobago. Chris and I have summarized this trip in a review as follows and we wanted to share our thoughts with you: Villa Being - "A little piece of heaven on earth". Being is an absolute retreat. We spent one of the most amazing breaks there recently and can easily rate is as one of the hidden gems of the Caribbean. The owner, Auliana and her team have done a magnificent job at delivering on what a holiday should bring....."tranquility, peace and complete relaxation". The ambience, the aura, the sense of oneness you feel is just an amazing holistic experience and no price can be attached to what they are delivering at BEING..... It just takes you into another realm of "BEING". Kudos also to Brent for an amazing job and for Auliana for creating such a magnificent piece. Anna, thank you so very much and it was a amazing break for us.

Villa being is absolutely breathtaking, calming and a place to be desired.
Villa being is great for the person who just wants to be at peace with nature. I had the opportunity to stay at this incredible place on my last vacation to Tobago and from the moment I checked in, everthing else was left behind. The villa has numerous breathtaking views especially the infinity pool which really lives up to its name of being infinite. The rooms were very clean and taking a shower further connected me with nature as the foliage and sea views were relaxing. villa being is definitely one of the top five best places I have ever vacationed at and I do hope to return in the not too distant future.

Combining Nature with Comfort
This place came recommended, and was totally worth it! The view was breathtaking - picture overlooking the ocean from upon a cliff! The architecture was unique as each living space was a separate building and the flora and fauna was well intertwined to give the feeling of being at one with nature whilst having all the comforts and amenities. I especially loved the open shower spaces where the outdoor was incorporated indoor - the view was spectacular, the fresh air and add in the thrill factor - wow! . The semi oudoor dining area was great space for the group. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean was pure relaxation. The entire property was extensive and even her a trail to the hilltop where you could get a view of the coastline. All this made this vacation a truly fantastic getaway.

Paradise on earth
What can I say about Villa Being? The tranquility, the views, the decor, the hospitality of the staff were simply beyond this world. The infinity pool is to die for! The showers that provided a view were divine! There were nights that we simply sat and stared at the stars whilst we enjoyed a glass of wine. It was definitely paradise on earth and I would go back in a heart beat! Many thanks to the staff for being so accommodating and helpful! The traditional Tobago breakfast of Coconut bake and saltfish was to die for! Simply amazing is Villa Being!

Romantic secluded 5 star retreat
One word sums up this villa ... AMAZING! If you are looking for an Eco friendly secluded , romantic retreat this is your spot. All rooms have the most amazing ocean views , the master bathroom is a stand alone pavilion with an open concept where you shower facing the ocean; it's a must see! The infinity pool again has the most spectacular views and it's a well equipped spot complete with pool side cabana. The entire villa is top notch with much considered in given to preserving the natural environment . A gear snorkeling beach is a 10 minute walk away, you must have a car for complete access to all in the area of you choose to leave the villa.

Best Buddy-Moon ever
A truly amazing location in Arnos Vale. It's located to the end of the paved road, directly on the cliff coast over-looking the sea. A cool location without AC! Outdoor showers, a wonderful infinite pool. Even though we had friend staying with us, we were still able to have a romantic time, with the well designed pockets for intimacy and for group gatherings. The secluded location was the highlight for me. A few mornings I ran along the dirt road through the forest path way to the Sandy Hill Trace Village where you get amazing views of coast and beautiful Pigeon Point beach... On one run I weaved down a trail to a little beach and the Foot Print Eco resort. Villa Being a wonderful, and the staff were truly helpful when we need it.

Seeing is believing' __but ' Being ' lends to the access of the bouquet !
The iconic Peter Minshall once said that ' Images are the bouquet to conversations '!__ this became most apparent when I caught my first glance as the gates slowly opened and i drove through, i felt teleported to what might of been indeed a magical garden paradise. Nestled in the north-west of the sister isle of the twin jewelled republic of the southern caribbean, Tobago, this is definitely an unexplored natures paradise! As I ascended upwards the air seemed fresher with every single breadth, the tumultuous sounds of birds, insects, wind in trees and even the waves greeting the shoreline all harmoniously belting a melody that was truly indigenious to the spirit of the Caribbean vibe. We stopped at the gate to which the view of a main house pronounced itself, and moving further and further the layout of this magical land seemed beyond my comprehension, the architecture was an eclectic fusion of gothic and mediteranian influences, cleverly and masterfully executed, every turn lending to soothing artistic expressiveness, definitely post-modern. Needless to say my room was a picturesque pot-pouri of elements that tingled my senses, if ever there was a moment in my life that evoked tranquility__trust me I was becoming and Villa Being was infiltrating and infecting, I felt lost in translation! __I nestled myself and relinquished completely to this metamorphosis' __ this heavenly vortex_Villa~Being !

BEING-THE BEST SECRET IN TOBAGO
Villa Being is like an Italian Villa, it reminds me of the Island of Elba in Italy, the indoor outdoor experience in the over grown forest, waking up to watch the sunrise over the most fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean, the sound of the birds, the Iguanas on the tree, Being is so serine and peacefull, we did not feel like leaving the Villa, fresh fruits that growing on the estate, the staff served like invisible angels, never invading on your space, service was second to none. Thank you Dr Poon for such a great idea Villa Being

About the neighbourhood
Tobago is the perfect site for a villa that promises to soothe the weary soul. The island lies at the southern end of the Caribbean, not far from Venezuela. It is small and mountainous and surprisingly free of the usual trappings of tourism - no cruise ships, no crowds; simply lush rainforests, beautiful beaches, magnificent views and lots of nature. A truly idyllic hideaway, the secret mountainous region of Arnos Vale, Tobago, is the most tranquil of locations. Tobago is a small mountainous isle blissfully free of cruise ships and tourism. It’s world-renowned for snorkeling, the people are friendly, the scenery amazing – and you won’t find a more spectacular retreat than Villa Being.
