We first heard about these a couple years ago but the Viceroy Anguilla Residences are now ready for immediate occupancy. The 134 private island residences command an idyllic spot on 3,200 feet of white sand beaches on Barnes and Meads Bays along Anguilla's northwest shore. The Viceroy Anguilla is currently in its final sales release with contemporary beachfront and blufftop villas, townhomes and resort residences on offer starting at $935,000 and going as high as $9.9 million. Around 75 percent of these residences have been sold to date, with over $15 million in new sales generated in 2010. So much for the real estate slump.

The interiors were designed by famed tastemaker Kelly Wearstler, who matched the scenic natural beauty of the area with sculptural and organic elements such as driftwood, rattan, travertine and hand-carved sculptures. Homeowners at Viceroy Anguilla also receive membership into the Viceroy Club with discounts and preferred access privileges at the Caribbean resort and throughout the entire Viceroy Hotel Group collection of properties. Amenities on the property include both fine dining and casual restaurants, an 8,000 square-foot two-story oceanfront spa, three championship tennis courts, personal chef/butler service and a Kid's/Teen's Club. Residents can also place their home in the rental management program. Click through after the jump for a tour of the property.
