If this beautiful villa were any closer to the crystal-clear waters of the ocean, it would be floating. It's just a few steps through the pretty gardens down to the soft sands. This place is all about taking it easy and that's exactly what you'll be doing as you pad out to the deck each morning for a swim in the private pool, find yourself a sun lounger and read until your cook calls you for lunch. Inside, the villa has a traditional West Indian coastal home feel, with white and pale grey tones and a subtle nautical theme. All of the bedrooms are of a good size and each has its own en-suite – two even open straight to the pool deck. Indoor-outdoor living is all the easier thanks to the large covered terrace at the rear, where your group can enjoy pre-dinner drinks and a few games of pool. The toughest choice you're likely to make all day is whether to eat on the terrace or under the pergola in the garden – it's the best spot for taking in those ocean views.

Self Check-in / Check-out

Found within the exclusive Royal Westmoreland Golf Resort, this Caribbean villa is intimate and indulgent. You’ll be torn between reclining in the elegant interiors or soaking up the sun beside the shimmering plunge pool. And when it’s impossible to choose, the covered terrace makes for a perfect compromise. We could spend all day on those squashy rattan loungers, rum cocktail in hand, watching the ocean roll towards the sprawling lush lawns. Should you want to get closer to the water, the Beach Club at Mullins Bay is only five minutes away by car. Here, you can snorkel among tropical fish in the impossibly clear shallows or lie back on those chalk-soft sands and drift off on the Bajan breeze. What’s more, you’ve got access to the world-class golf course, tennis courts and fitness centre—you’ll never have a dull day in paradise.

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

Right down on the sands of popular Mullins Beach, this Bajan beauty is just a few feet from the sea. A traditional beach house with two glorious sun decks, this place has been designed to focus on the view. Step out of your cool, comfortable living room and enjoy your breakfast on the covered dining terrace, with the waves lapping at the shore just beneath. There's no pool here, but that's because you really couldn't get any closer to the water – head off for daily swims in the clear blue of the Caribbean and dry off in the sun on one of your loungers. The interior is modern and minimal, with a weathered, vintage look to the 'pickled' wood ceilings. There's a contemporary kitchen for you to rustle up snacks and drinks but thanks to your housekeeper/cook you won't have to worry too much about cooking – you'll have two delicious meals per day provided. The second bedroom is full of island charm, with beamed ceilings, shutters and French doors opening to the lower deck, while the stunning master bedroom upstairs has vaulted ceilings, a superb en-suite and its own private elevated sun deck with panoramic sea views. It's easy to forget you’re on an island known for its activity and nightlife with all this natural beauty on your doorstep, but there are all sorts of water sports to get involved with from the beach, and you can walk to a number of beach bars and restaurants.

Nice to haves

The ideal spot for a little paradise getaway, this Barbados haven ticks all the boxes. Nestled next to Dover beach, this two-storey apartment is filled with tranquil artwork and beautifully elegant furnishings to ensure that you feel completely at home. A Caribbean feel is tastefully created in each room with natural materials and beach-theme accents. Step out of the ground floor bedroom, onto the patio and you can sit with your morning cuppa and your holiday read as the sun warms your skin. For a little respite from the heat, head through the gardens to the communal pool where the cool waters will be a welcome relief. For those who prefer to stay active rather than enjoy a laid-back holiday vibe, there’s an on-site fitness centre, so you can even squeeze in a workout.

If you can tear yourself away from the pool, pack your beach bag and take the short stroll to the white sands of Dover beach for an afternoon of sipping cocktails and watching watersports. While you may choose to indulge in the famous St Lawrence Gap to enjoy some local cuisine and nightlife aplenty, if you fancy heading home, a tranquil sea-view balcony awaits – all you need is a bottle of wine and some nibbles to share.

As you travel along the winding driveway, through an enchanting mahogany grove to this luxury home in the renowned centuries-old 23-acre Porters Great House Estate, you'll be congratulating yourself on discovering this gem. Wander down hidden paths past the sparkling pool and old sugar works through stunning tropical gardens. It's hard to choose, but we think one of our favourite spots is by the peaceful lily pond. Once the old carriage house, the villa is cosy yet chic with coral stone walls, marble floors, and metalwork chandeliers. We particularly adore the dining room with its high ceiling, intricate woodwork design and wall of wooden shutters – it's the perfect place to entertain family and friends. If you can bear to leave this Barbadian paradise with its green monkeys and gorgeous birds roaming the grounds, then the gorgeous white sands and turquoise waters of Colony Club Beach are just over a five-minute stroll away.

Sugar Sugar

This pretty villa is found in the Royal Westmoreland Golf Resort in Barbados. If you saw the word 'golf' and instantly recoiled, don't fret — there's plenty to do here besides perfecting your swing. For a start, a stay here gives you access to an exclusive beach club on Mullins Bay, just five minutes from the front door, as well as tennis courts, spa treatments and restaurants. If your eyes lit up at the mention of 'golf', you'll be happy to hear that there's a five-star course with views of the Caribbean Sea from every green. Back at home, your back garden has its very own plunge pool that's perfect for those sizzling hot Bajan afternoons, plus a barbecue for grilling up a seafood feast come evening time and an alfresco dining area from which to enjoy it.

Pure crystalline energy transmits a quality of radiance through this spectacular beachfront villa. It’s difficult to know where to begin when describing this paradise home. But we know you’ll be glowing with glee as soon as you step foot onto its grounds. Created by legendary designer Oliver Messel in the 1960s, the house has since been restored while retaining the exquisite charm of its origins. A magical atmosphere permeates its setting and invites you to let go and soak in the serenity of the space. Drawing on the exquisite beauty of the environment, the home features ocean tones and island-inspired details. There are multiple living areas, each with its own character to enjoy and relax whilst gazing into the gardens or across the sea. The essence of luxury flows through the home and fills every room with pure elegance. In the bedrooms, the light and spacious interiors have been designed for ultimate comfort, while en-suite bathrooms are filled with all the luxurious amenities you could need for a revitalising stay. Ideal for large groups or families, the house has a wonderful staff of 14 who will ensure you have everything you need for a truly unforgettable experience. Outside, a stunning infinity pool looks out across the Carribean Sea. When you aren’t lounging here, wind your way down the stone pathways to the secluded cove beach where the glistening ocean awaits. There’s also a speedboat, cinema and fitness centre included on the grounds. While it might be hard to leave this paradise, it is in a great location with an abundance of natural wonders to explore, as well as the vibrant cafes, shops and restaurants of Speightstown. As the day draws to a close, make your way to the outdoor dining area, where the theatrical setting will remind you of the true wonder and magic of island life.

Beach Essentials

Set amongst the whispering palms of the Caribbean, this ultra-luxurious seafront estate comes with its own private beach and a staff of fourteen to cater for your group. It’s a dreamlike place, filled with sunlight, tropical gardens and glimpses of the perfect blue ocean. The main house itself was built in the 1840s, then redesigned by stage designer Oliver Messel in the 1960s before her current owners restored her to her former glory in 2013. They made full use of local materials, artisans and Messel’s signature decorative motifs, incorporating coral stone and pineapple and seashell frescos. Artworks have been commissioned, billowing linen curtains and four-poster beds installed and verdant gardens preened. The result is a beautifully sophisticated Caribbean retreat that’s perfect for a large group. You’ll feel utterly pampered here with a team of chefs presenting delicious meals to suit any occasion – that could be a grand candlelit dinner in the ornate dining portico overlooking the sea, a relaxed lunch around the almond tree on the patio or a picnic down on the sands. This is a real Caribbean gem, with history and character, as well as picture perfect views – it simply doesn't get better than this.

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.

A delightful home for a single traveller or a couple, this cosy little gem is set overlooking the crystal-clear waters of Reeds Bay. 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.

Situated on the ground floor of a new luxury development and overlooking the pristine white sands and turquoise waters of Paynes Bay, this heavenly home is to die for. Boasting uninterrupted ocean vistas, a sleekly designed and fully-equipped kitchen, and an open plan living and dining area, this beautiful Barbadian home is perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. Framing the ocean beyond, the glistening waters of the bay are visible through floor to ceiling glass doors which open out onto a sumptuous covered deck and private, outdoor pool. 

You’ll love taking your morning coffee out onto the terrace for stunning views of the beach and Caribbean Sea, hopping into the walk-in rain shower and shopping your own walk-in wardrobe. Laze on the sun loungers or lounge on the outdoor sofas before luxuriating in your beachside pool. Barbecue to your heart’s content before treating yourself to an afternoon snooze. As the sun goes down, be sure to be out on the terrace for cocktail-o-clock before dining alfresco beneath the stars.

Alternatively, the stunning soft white sands of Paynes Bay can be reached via a pathway alongside the villa and a keyed gate assures absolute privacy. Why not make a beeline for the beach chairs in preparation for a lazy sun-soaked day or bathe in the calm, crystal clear waters, also excellent for snorkelling? Ideally located just minutes away from many of the West Coast’s most popular bars and restaurants, you’ll also find yourself within easy reach of world class golf courses and high fashion boutiques – what’s not to love?
