The latest Caribbean Home heads to the island of Vieques in Puerto Rico, a place known for its multitude of beaches and free-roaming horses.

It’s called Casa Cielo, a fitting name for this five-bedroom, seven-bathroom (two and a half bath) villa, which is perched in the sky above the centre ridge of the island.

The home has a total of 17,264 square feet, led by a 1,650-square-foot master bathroom that includes 20-foot ceilings in a glass pavilion structure.

The latter is furnished with Holly Hunt, Mitchell Gold, Christian Liagire, ddc and Armani.

The property, which includes amenities from a hot tub to a library to an outdoor kitchen, is currently listed for $7.8 million.

Sotheby’s International Realty Puerto Rico’s Oriana Juvelier has the listing.
