The Wentworth Estate extends to approximately 1,750 acres and sits in the village of Virginia Water. The estate's history dates back to the early 1920's when the original developer W G Tarrant purchased an agricultural estate around which he created his rural dream of substantial mansion houses, set in beautiful mature gardens surrounding a golf course. Today there are three 18 hole golf courses including the PGA Championship course and a 9 hole executive course. These are all part of the luxury Wentworth Private Members Club which has swimming pools, indoor and out, restaurants, tennis club, health and spa and provides a community hub for its members.

Carioca is situated on the main island of the Wentworth Estate, the most prestigious location within the estate.

Virginia Water is complimented by other nearby villages including Sunningdale, Sunninghill and Ascot providing wider facilities and there is an abundance of sporting opportunities nearby including polo, shooting, riding, walking and excellent hotel facilities, these include the Windsor Fairmont Hotel at Englefield Green and Coworth Park part of the Dorchester Collection just outside of the estate. Convenience for Heathrow and Farnborough airfields together with an abundance of private schools in the area, all add to the attraction of living on the Wentworth Estate.
