45 guests enjoyed a private tour of some ofAnguilla’s most desirable properties on Friday, March 30th, in an event organised by the Anguilla Sailing Association (ASA). The Luxury Villa Tour was created by the ASA as a fundraiser in support of the Anguilla Youth Sailing Club (AYSC).
Association Board members Fred Porter andSarah Harrisonorganised the event and were assisted by committee member Gayle Enzel.
Guests were taken in buses to a completely new selection of stunning villas, located in the east and centre of Anguilla, from Harbour Ridge toRendezvousBay. They returned to Italia at CusinArt Golf Resort and Spa where they were treated to an elegant canapé reception. During the reception, raffle tickets were drawn by the ASA Sailing Coach, Hazen Grant. First prize of a Lynne Bernbaum giclee print, donated by the artist, was won by Dianne Norris. Second prize of a Haitian sculpture, donated by Savannah Galleries, was won by Peter Roberts. Third prize of a Viceroy Anguilla spa treatment was won by Margaret Thomas and fourth prize of a $100 voucher at Dolce Vita restaurant was won by Jeanine Mauck.
Gayle Enzel, who selected and organised all the villas for the event, said, “The villas showcased the many different villa experiences onAnguilla. We were pleased to be able to offer guests the chance to view luxurious private homes that gave a glimpse of the owners’ personalities, as well as the opulent rental villas.”
Guests described the event as flawless and were delighted with the variety of properties on the tour. Some were looking to get inspiration for their own homes, while others were deciding where to buy or rent a villa onAnguilla. Many guests, attending for their third time, wanted to sign up for next year’s tour, a sure sign of a successful day.
The Anguilla Sailing Association would like to thank all those who attended, bought raffle tickets, or supported the event. All the funds raised go directly to continuing the work of the Anguilla Youth Sailing Club, a non-profit organisation. Particular thanks go to CuisinArt Golf Resort and Spa for the generous donation of the reception, Geraud’s Patisserie, Valerie Zaharia for graphic design, Tanya Clarke for framing services and all the raffle prize donors.
