Renting a villa is one of the best ways to chill out and experience a destination, but if you refuse to make do with any ole villa, consider the funky Mount Hartman Bay estate in Grenada. Normally this Caribbean villa is only available for exclusive hire, but during the month of May the estate is throwing open its doors for couples to join a house party. From £6,526 per week per couple, including flights, guests can enjoy this “Gollum meets Gaudi” Estate, which is set on 2.5 acres on a private peninsula within the Lance-aux-Epines resort on Grenada's south coast. Built into the hillside overlooking a secluded bay, the villa's unusual organic design is reminiscent of the Thunderbirds' Tracey Island, combining soft curves with dark wood contrasts.Included in the price are the services of 14 permanent staff; all food and drink,  the use of a powerful 43“ motor cruiser; two sea scooters for underwater exploration; two seven-seater Shogun 4X4s; a 27-metre infinity pool with adjoining Jacuzzi, plus a second pool by the Beach House; and the Estate's very own private beach.
