Imagine waking up to the sound of waves lapping against the shore, feasting on a delicious breakfast prepared by a private chef, and spending the day with your toes in the sand on the beach just steps from your door. It sounds like a dream, but it's the reality at this stunning little cottage right off the beach. With ocean views, direct beach access, a sparkling private pool, daily housekeeping and an excellent home chef to boot, this romantic getaway is the pinnacle of Caribbean living. Days here are all about soaking up the endless Barbados sunshine. Whether you're sipping rum cocktails on the palm-covered patio, snorkelling in the reef right off the garden or strolling along the sandy beach five minutes away, this home has everything you need and more – even the bright and bold interior feels like a serene oasis. And, if you're travelling in a group, the cottage can be booked together with the main villa next door to accommodate larger parties. It's a slice of tropical paradise that's entirely yours to call home.

As the Tide Rolls In

In upscale St. James Parish, on the serene Caribbean-facing west coast, this ocean-inspired bolthole is all about conspicuous luxury. A crisp turquoise and white colour scheme with subtle seaside accents are evidence of your surroundings – you’re mere footsteps from the pristine beachfront. Wake up in your serene bedroom and nip down to the water for a refreshing morning swim followed by a local breakfast on your quaint decking. Stay close to home and spend your days snorkelling in Reeds Bay or drive seven minutes inland to Apes Hill Club for a round of golf. When hunger bites, you’ll find a lip-smacking selection of fine-dining establishments in Holetown, an eight-minute drive away. Before dusk falls, head home to your balcony and toast a tropical sunset as the sky swirls in purple and pink. 

Ocean Tide

This stunning private villa provides you with your own personal patch of paradise. Inside, you’ll find serene decor, featuring a neutral colour scheme with splashes of blue to remind you of the beautiful ocean that sits nearby. We love the elegant lounge area that’s ideal for party games in the evenings, and the opulent dining area that’ll set the scene for idyllic Barbados breakfasts.

You’ll be even more impressed with the outdoor areas. The private plunge pool lets you cool off from the heat, and you’ll also have access to the shared swimming pool and hot tub where you can relax and rejuvenate. There’s a shaded alfresco lounge area for your afternoon nap, plus an outdoor table and chairs so you can dine with the sunset.

This home is perfectly located just a stone’s throw from Mullins beach, as well as plenty of beachfront restaurants where you can make more amazing memories.

Coconut Cocktails

A holiday in Barbados is made all the better when you stay in this beautiful beachfront home. Providing you with direct access to the powder-soft sandy shores of the West Coast of Barbados, this home is in a truly breathtaking spot. You’re close enough to hear the waves, which will provide you with the soundtrack to your stay. The private plunge pool invites you to cool off on hot sunny days, while the alfresco sitting areas are great for relaxing with cocktails while you watch the sunset over the ocean. It’s truly paradise.

Inside, you’ll be just as impressed with the peaceful interiors and great amenities. We love the natural woven wicker decor and dreamy white linens. There’s a lounge area where you can get cosy and watch a movie on sleepy evenings, as well as a dining table where you can feast on delicious breakfasts and lunches, cooked for you by the in-house chef. There’s also a balcony where you can gaze at sea views – an amazing place for your morning coffee.

Ocean Orchestra

Bright and elegant, this beautiful villa is nestled right in the exclusive Royal Westmoreland Golf Resort, making it a dream destination for golf and beach lovers alike. Practice your handicap on the course or trade in your clubs for snorkelling gear at Mullins Beach, just minutes away.  

When you’re not spending sun-drenched days on the soft white sand of Barbados’ beaches, refresh yourself in the private pool back home instead. Afterwards, grab an exotic cocktail, sit back in the sun lounger and feel yourself unwind as you enjoy your favourite podcast. 

Whilst some of us like to take it easy, others might be raring to have a go on the tennis courts here. Get your morning workout in at the on-site fitness centre before making your way to the clubhouse. 

Enjoy meals alfresco on the balcony overlooking the green of the course. When you’re not in the mood to cook, venture out to local restaurants to get an authentic taste of Barbados – we recommend asking your host for a list of their favourites. Steal away when you’d like a moment to yourself and admire the night sky with a nightcap before soaking in the tub and turning in for the night. 

Sugarcane House

Sitting just above Dover Beach on Barbados's southern coastline, this apartment building is treated to some rather glorious views of the Caribbean, chief among them from this third-floor home complete with a covered terrace overlooking the coastal vista.

Aside from this vantage point, there's a lot to like about the living quarters, with its copious amount of stylish furnishings, sleek surfaces and natural light from the large windows. The corner kitchen has plenty of surface space for home cooking and the sea-facing lounge is similarly expansive.

The building offers guests a few more perks in the shape of a well-equipped shared gym and two swimming pools. Of course, if you want a saltwater dip instead, the beach is mere footsteps away. What's more, the shops, restaurants and nightlife of St. Lawrence Gap are only a short walk, too.

Blue & White Stripes

Close to a number of bars and restaurants, there's plenty going on nearby but you'll feel tucked away and private in this first-floor condo. With a Mediterranean feel to the decor, it's a smart, bright space that makes the most of its stunning views. White walls and tiled floors keep everything cool, and the living room opens up to a spacious covered balcony, with plenty of comfortable seating, a big dining table and your own plunge pool. Even the bedroom has its own terrace. What's more, here you'll have a housekeeper/cook, who will prepare two meals for you per day, so there's no need to lift so much as a finger. And best of all, it's just steps from the beach and water that's perfect for snorkelling. 

Turtle Nest

Nestled along Barbados’ pristine south coast, this laid-back apartment promises a refreshing stay for a small family or close-knit group of friends. Inside the home, you’ll find serene bedrooms that tempt extra-long lie-ins and a kitchen with everything you need for putting together traditional flying fish and cou cou. Wake up with a coffee in the breezy living space before making a beeline for the communal pool – or the on-site gym if you fancy a workout.

When you’re ready to explore, saunter to Dover Beach, just footsteps away, for its pristine, white sands and crystal-clear water. For those feeling a little more adventurous, call upon your excellent host to arrange island excursions. Return home in the evening for a rum punch on the balcony as the sun begins to set. 

Pour It Up

Perfectly perched on the beachfront overlooking Barbados' crystal clear waters, this serene villa invites guests to set the stresses of daily life free on an authentic Caribbean experience centred around leisure and relaxation.

From the alfresco-covered dining area and outdoor lounge to the private plunge pool and the upper-level terrace space fringed with palm trees – the stunning natural beauty here alone is enough to soothe your soul and energise your spirits. Dressed in colourful and contemporary designs, the villa's interior is just as refreshing as the exterior and combines the indoor-outdoor living spaces together beautifully. 

Head down to the beach, steps away for a spot of snorkelling, or why not have your host organise scuba diving and a boating excursion? With Holetown's shopping and dining opportunities within easy reach, you'll have the option of heading out during the evenings or dining at the villa with meals served by the private chef. 





Wild Hearts Run Free

Right on the shores of Paynes Bay, this quintessentially Caribbean villa is bursting with island charm. Indoor and outdoor space blend seamlessly together here, with the breezy living area leading out onto a wide verandah, complete with outdoor sofas and a table for alfresco dining. Step off the deck and directly onto the soft white sand that leads down to the sparkling turquoise sea. Sunny days can be spent lounging on a deck chair in the sun, cooling off with swims in the ocean or dips in the plunge pool. 
Each of the bedrooms leads out onto a balcony, with sprawling views over the ocean. Wake up each morning and throw open the doors to let the Bajan breeze in, before enjoying a peaceful morning coffee on the balcony. 

The Platinum Coast of the island is famous for its top-class golf courses, pristine white beaches, and bustling nightlife. The villa is a seven-minute drive from Holetown, home to buzzing beach bars, excellent seafood restaurants and boutique shops. On more relaxed evenings, head to one of the restaurants within walking distance of the villa, before coming home and enjoying a nightcap as the stars come out.

Bajan Breeze

Enjoy a brilliant Barbados beach break when you stay at this stunning apartment.
