Penthouse in Paradise: Inside The Bellafonte’s 2200 sq ft Top-Floor Retreat
Dreaming of space, seclusion, and sweeping Caribbean views? The Bellafonte’s Penthouse in Paradise delivers all three in a spectacular 2200 sq ft, top-floor haven with a private wraparound balcony and two bedroom balconies—engineered for ultimate privacy and effortless indoor–outdoor living.
From open-plan entertaining to end-of-day sunsets over turquoise water, here’s what makes this premier accommodation the crown jewel of The Bellafonte.
The Top-Floor Advantage: Privacy and Panoramas
Perched on the top floor, The Bellafonte’s two luxurious Penthouses offer the hotel’s most private vantage point. A secluded wraparound balcony frames one of the best panoramic views on the island, while each bedroom enjoys its own private balcony for quiet moments with sea breezes and sunrise light.
- Location: Top floor for maximum seclusion
- Views: Expansive, island-wide panoramas over the Caribbean Sea
- Outdoor living: Private wraparound balcony + a separate balcony for each bedroom
Why it matters: Upper-floor positioning naturally reduces foot traffic and enhances tranquility. The wraparound design maximizes sightlines, airflow, and sun exposure, turning every hour into a golden-hour moment.
A Spacious Layout Designed for Living
The Penthouse is thoughtfully composed for both connection and privacy. Two large bedrooms, each with a spacious bathroom and private balcony, anchor the residence at opposite ends for a balanced retreat. In the center, open-plan living and dining areas flow into a well-appointed modern kitchen and breakfast area—ideal for anything from casual breakfasts to relaxed, ocean-view dinners.
- Bedrooms: Two large bedrooms, each with its own spacious bathroom
- Balconies: Separate private balcony per bedroom, plus the main wraparound balcony
- Social core: Open-plan living and dining connected to a modern kitchen and breakfast area
This configuration is perfect for couples traveling together or families who value room to relax without sacrificing personal space.
