Shandison Luxury Villas of Tobago Blogs
Hi there! I am the younger daughter of Richard and Lana and have spent the last 5 years experiencing everything that Tobago has to offer. This Tobago Travel blog is intended to be an unbiased guide for visitors, staying at my family’s vacation properties of The Lauren Taylor Villa, Shandison Villa, Sea La Vie & Sea La Vista in Tobago, to allow our guests the best experiences that Tobago has to offer…. through my eyes and stomach.
There is so much to see and experience in Tobago that I have divided the blogs into easily accessible categories.
The Top 5 Breathtaking Beaches To Visit While In Tobago | One does not simply visit Tobago and not spend a day, or two, or even three, lounging on the white, sun-bleached, coral sand beaches that have made the island a must-visit destination for seasoned and novice travelers alike.

This is the best balance for vegetation on the island as it allows you to experience flowering plants throughout the year. Traditionally, one had to go far and wide, across the island in order to experience the different vegetation and plant life according to the time of year.
The Ultimate Guide To Bird Watching In The Tropical Island Of Tobago | I’ve always loved birds, but the more time I spend in Tobago the more I appreciate our feathered friends. Villa Shandison boasts a diverse birdlife due to the abundance of flowering plants in the villa’s garden. We are privileged to have hosted the award-winning wildlife photographer William Barrow, who has kindly shared his art with us. The 750-acre Tobago Plantations Estate, home to Villa Shandison, includes 5 manmade lakes and ponds that teem with lilies and waterfowl. You can find many of Williams’s shots on our website, Instagram, and Pinterest boards.
