On Barbados’ famed Platinum Coast, this villa puts you within striking distance of caster-sugar-sand beaches lined with rum shacks and restaurants. It’s just above Fitts Village where the crystal clear water laps at the white sand and the shops, restaurants and bars of Holetown are just a six-minute drive away. You’ll find this spot within a gated golf resort where one of the Caribbean’s finest courses awaits as well as a shared swimming pool, fitness centre and tennis courts.

 If privacy is more your thing, spend days by your private poolside and lie out on a lounger. Outdoor dining and a full alfresco lounge await up on the first-floor terrace with a view out over the golf course where the palms sway against a near-constant blue sky. Inside, the light-hued coral stone and big wooden ceilings keep things feeling beachy and breezy in the plush living room. The kitchen is separated by a breakfast bar and has everything you need for self-catering. Bag one of the bedrooms with direct access to the pool terrace and you can pad straight from bed to the poolside for your morning swim.

While you can find plenty of Bajan homes that are classical in style, there aren't too many that look to modernism for inspiration – that's what makes this striking home built by a local architect half a century ago and recently renovated all the more special.

Inside, you'll find high vaulted ceilings, spiral staircases and a soothing colour palette of bright whites and neutrals. The taste in furnishings is understated but chic, while the kitchen packed full of appliances and bathrooms both lie on the contemporary end of things.

This being the Caribbean, you're probably wondering what's happening outside. Well, the swimming pool in the middle of the gardens is sure to be appreciated during the summer months, as will the covered terrace complete with an alfresco dining table and barbecue ready for feasts.

In the local area, it'll take you all of two minutes on foot to reach the nearest beach and there are a couple of seafront restaurants to be discovered a little further on. For a wider choice, the island's capital – Bridgetown – is a twenty-minute-or-so drive.

Nestled within a vibrant tropical garden with the Caribbean Sea sparkling in the distance, this home makes the perfect setting to slow down and marvel at the magic of island living. 

Just a short ride away from the resort facilities, including a communal gym, pool, golf course and tennis court, every detail has been designed to enrich your stay with luxurious comfort. And once inside, you’ll find the rooms perfectly reflect the vibrant spirit of this natural haven. From the refreshing tones and natural light to the abundant space and personal touches, it’s easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

Enjoy quiet mornings watching the sunrise from the master suite balcony, dive into the private pool and spend lazy afternoons swaying in a hammock. And for explorations further afield, make your way to the resort Beach Club (daily shuttle service available) or take a stroll through nearby Holetown (just an eight-minute drive away). 

Wherever the day takes you, this home offers a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion – it’s the perfect setting for golden hour drinks in the garden and candlelit meals. Your host can also organise a range of special extras like a private chef – inviting you to sit back and celebrate the beauty of the moment.

Only a four-minute drive from an exclusive beach on the Caribbean coast, you'll have easy access to seaside bars and restaurants. Alternatively, the small but historic city of Holetown awaits just seven minutes down the road, ready to cater to all your shopping needs.

Feel a sense of grace as you wander beneath the arches in this long-flowing living space. On the private pool deck is where you'll spend most of your downtime – imagine dining alfresco and trying some delicious Bajan cuisine, including cou-cou and flying fish. Perhaps the best thing about staying here is the resort facilities. Tee off in the early morning, then make your way to the on-site gym after a barbecue lunch. For a quiet moment, simply ascend the staircase into the main bedroom, where you'll open the grand trio of doors and watch a sunset from your balcony.

The perfect base for large groups, this mansion sits in the parish of St James, right on the beachfront. The white sands of the beach lie at the bottom of the garden, which is filled with palm trees and pretty pink flowers. There’s a barbecue and gazebo, and an elegant porch where you can sip cocktails and listen to the waves. Of course, you’ll also have a private pool to swim in. Inside, you’ll find intricate design details – this home is richly decorated. Golfers are well catered for – this home is just a short drive from three world–renowned golf courses.

Island living feels even more dreamy than it sounds when you stay at this stunning villa.

Wake up each morning and throw open your patio doors to let the Caribbean sunshine in. Dive into your shared pool and enjoy a relaxing float or a brisk swim, before resting on one of the poolside loungers and topping up your tan. Grab your golf club caddy and wheel it down for a few rounds on the golf course, or take your racket down to the tennis court for a few games. Go for drinks at the on-site Rum Shak and toast to your luxurious getaway. You’ll also have access to the exclusive Mullins Beach Club at this home, with a daily shuttle running to take you there and back. 

As the evening rolls in, relax all together in your elegant lounge room and enjoy late-night conversations and drinks with your loved ones.

This sun-kissed villa puts the Caribbean Sea views front and centre, no matter if you're dining alfresco, swimming in the infinity pool, or sipping rum punch on the terrace. Those lucky enough to bag the main suite will also enjoy a sea-facing private balcony, not to mention a spa-quality bathroom with a soaker bath. Fitness buffs will appreciate the gym and exercise equipment, plus there's plenty of space in the living area for lounging about. Daily housekeeping is included, taking the stress out of your stay. As for location, you're not far from the resort's beach and golf club – that's all our boxes ticked.

Caribbean Gleam

Hot Tub

Picture an idyllic island getaway and this is the kind of place that comes to mind. Private beach access, an outdoor bar, pristine living spaces – you name it, this home has it. And while we could talk all day about the unparalleled ocean views you can soak up from the deck – which, yes, comes with a Jacuzzi – we wouldn’t want to take away from the gorgeous interior which has been lovingly designed by luxury home expert, Celia Sawyer. From the monochromatic colour palette to the state-of-the-art amenities – think streaming services in every bedroom – Sawyer and her team have thought of everything, so you can sit back and focus on the things that really matter. 

Of course, the fun doesn’t end there because you’ve got the Platinum Coast at your fingertips. Speak to your host about arranging a private catamaran to take you along the shore or hop in a hire car and head into Holetown, where you’ll find a whole host of activities to keep you busy. Then, when you’ve had your fill of being out and about, come home to an authentic Caribbean meal prepared by your housekeeper Cheryl and dine alfresco as you listen to the crashing of the waves. We can’t think of anywhere we’d rather be.

This elegant home located within a renowned golf estate on the West Coast of Barbados is the stuff dreams are made of. Boasting a covered terrace, garden and sunbathing area, this heavenly home is perfect for both entertaining and relaxing. Surrounding a shared outdoor pool and landscaped gardens, this Barbadian beauty really does have it all. 

You’ll love flinging open the doors of the master bedroom and taking your morning coffee out on the patio, before lazing on sun loungers. While away hours reading on the first-floor terrace, where you’ll also be treated to spectacular views of the resort’s lush, tropical gardens. Cook up a storm in the magnificent monochrome kitchen before dining alfresco on the terrace. Gather together beneath high, vaulted ceilings in the open-plan living room before indulging in a long, hot soak in the tub before bed.

Alternatively, make the most of the resort’s facilities – get your sweat on in the gym or embrace that Zen life in the spa before luxuriating in the salt-water swimming pool. Spend the day basking on the beach or bathing in the sea, play tennis on rust-red clay courts, or make your way around the 18-hole championship golf course before dining on fresh fish beside the sea.

Serenity awaits at this sumptuous home we found tucked away on Barbados’s famed Platinum Coast, one of the most glamourous holiday destinations in the Caribbean. Whether you’re here to rub shoulders with the rich and famous or kick back and relax in the glorious Barbadian sunshine, this is the place to do it, situated just a stone’s throw from the white sands of Weston Beach. 

Spend all day relaxing by the Caribbean Sea or stay put and take advantage of the communal facilities your home from home has to offer. From an outdoor tennis court to an exclusive beach bar, there’s plenty to keep you occupied here – though we wouldn’t blame you if all you wanted to do was sip a fruity, rum cocktail by the private pool. 

As much as we love the outside space, the interior’s nothing to scoff at either. Boasting high ceilings and cool, marble floors, this place has got ‘luxury’ written all over it, coming equipped with a whole host of amenities that’ll make your stay as comfortable as possible. Sit back and relax in whichever sitting area takes your fancy – there are plenty to choose from here – or get to work in the kitchen, rustling up a Caribbean-inspired feast for all your favourite people. We can almost taste the jerk seasoning now. 

The Pride of Barbados

Pool / Snooker Table

Umbrellas

Right in the heart of Barbados’ lush interior, this deluxe villa is surrounded by swishing palm trees and verdant greenery making it feel secluded. From your hilltop vantage, you can enjoy a view of the sea from the first-floor terrace. It’s a sprawling terrace, with a banquet-sized dining table and a full outdoor lounge. Down at ground level, the big, private swimming pool feels natural, fringed with grotto-like boulders. The infinity edge looks out over perfectly manicured lawns. Beneath the shaded veranda, you’ve got plenty of plush places to relax with a good book, and a full bar provides the perfect spot for a round of rum cocktails. 

Inside, it’s upside-down living with the kitchen, dining and living room dominating the first floor, taking advantage of the views from up here. Coral stone archways are on display and the polished floors keep things cool underfoot. Apart from the plush main lounge, there’s a second sitting room downstairs where teenagers and older kids can enjoy some space with a pool table, ping pong table and TV area. Bedrooms are incredibly spacious and airy and each one has access to a balcony or terrace.

In the area, you’ve got Barbados’ natural wonders at your fingertips with Welchman Hall Gully and Harrison’s Cave just a short drive away, and the pristine, soft-sand beaches of the Platinum Coast are within easy reach.

Coconut Cosmos

This beautiful home is located on a world-class golf and beach resort on the west coast of Barbados. There’s so much more than just golf on offer here though – this villa and the resort give you everything you need for a relaxing retreat.

The interior of this home oozes class with marble floors, vaulted ceilings and elegant cream and white furnishings. Four comfortable bedrooms boast ensuite bathrooms, so you always have a space to call your own. When you step outside onto your terrace, however, it’s like stepping into a tropical paradise. Your private pool sparkles invitingly before you, offering the perfect place to cool off during the heat of the day. After a spot of swimming, settle down on your sun lounger, cocktail in hand, and indulge in a good book. Peace and quiet surround you, with the only sound you’re likely to hear being the occasional hit of a golf club from the nearby tenth fairway, or the rustle of the breeze through the palm trees. 

After a day out around the resort, return home and settle down for alfresco drinks on your covered terrace with your loved ones. As the slanting rays of the setting sun give a warm tinge to the sky, you’ll feel a sense of pure peace and relaxation – just what holidays are made for. 

A Fair Way to Relax

Breakfast Included

This well-kept villa is located in a quiet, gated golf resort, on Barbados’ west coast. The home is fully-staffed and has plenty of great amenities, including a hot tub and a private, outdoor saltwater pool. You can also make use of the resort’s facilities such as the gym, spa, and golf course and there are plenty of good restaurants and cool bars nearby. If you feel like having a lazy day by the Caribbean Sea, the nearest beaches are just a couple of minutes' walk away. 

Reefside Retreat

Golfers and beach bunnies alike will appreciate this little slice of luxury in the exclusive Royal Westmoreland resort. Days can be spent on the world-class golf course, unwinding in the clubhouse, or padding down to the long stretch of sand that makes up the Platinum Coast. There are plenty of amenities and options for dining onsite, but nearby Holetown is a delightful place to spend the evening – perhaps with a plate of grilled mahi mahi and a cold Banks at one of the beach-front restaurants. 

The apartment is a typically Bajan mix of sleek tiles floors and bone-white coral stone walls. This design keeps the interior naturally cool, with the help of ceiling fans (and air-con in the bedrooms). Decor in white, sea foam and teal is a reminder of the sea. Not that you need a reminder with a view like this from the terrace – over the lush greenery to the sparkling Caribbean. The plush, outdoor lounge on the terrace is particularly magical at sunset when the sky streaks pink and gold. 

Prince of Coral

Nestled on a luxury resort, this charming villa isn’t just for those who love a spot of golf. Here, you can swim, play tennis, stay on top of your fitness in the on-site gym, or simply lie by the communal pool, soaking up the Caribbean sun. And if you’re looking for a holiday tipple to tickle your tastebuds, indulge in a spot of rum.

The inside of this home is truly tranquil, with the white of the walls and serene drapes punctuated with pops of turquoise. Flooded with natural light, you’ll feel contentment wash over you from the moment you set your bags down. We love the arched windows sitting above the doors out to your private balcony, adding a little character to the home. Stroll underneath them to your outdoor space and settle on the sofa with your holiday read. Overlooking the shared pool, you have stunning views across the resort and out to the sea beyond. This is a quiet spot – and view – that you’ll never tire of.

When it’s time to explore, outside of the resort you’re only a seven-minute drive from Holetown. Pack your bag and you can enjoy a day on the beach or indulge in a spot of retail therapy if that’s more up your street. As the day draws to a close, your villa is ready and waiting to welcome you home. 


A Putt Above the Rest

Blu Ray Player

Soak up the sun in absolute serenity at this wonderful townhouse, situated just a short stroll from the stunning Gibbes Beach, boasting powdery white sand and vibrant turquoise waters. It's surrounded by leafy palm trees, giving it a luxurious feel, and both bedrooms feature king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms so each guest feels like a VIP. Outside, there's a private roof terrace with sun loungers where you can catch the rays in peace, as well as a lovely shared pool for cooling off on hot days.

After the Groves

The phrase 'a stone's throw' is overused to the point of cliche, but for this villa, we'll make an exception – even those not terribly skilled at ball games would be able to lob a stone from this home's garden and hit the golden sands of Gibbes Beach. It really is that close.

This proximity to the Bajan coast also brings some rather calming views of the deep azure Caribbean Sea from the terrace, which benefits from a hot tub in case you want to catch the sunset from the comfort of bubbling waters. When you can manage to prise yourself away to give your living quarters a little closer inspection, you'll find some of the sleekest interior design to be seen anywhere on the island, with a wealth of natural light, clean lines and sleek surfaces throughout the rooms. Even the path to the entrance is made rather glamorous thanks to the addition of a lily pond running underneath.

Aside from the beach mere footsteps away, there's a great range of bars and restaurants running along the coastline in either direction, while Speightstown is just under 3km to the north. In the centre of the island, there's everything from golf courses and caves to botanical gardens to explore.

You’ll love waking in rooms with a view, flinging open the doors of the master bedroom and stepping out onto the terrace for views across the golf course and out to sea. Why not start the day with a little light cardio in your private gym?  Alternatively, read, relax or laze on loungers in the sun before luxuriating in your private infinity pool surrounded by lush greenery. Rinse off under the outdoor shower and barbecue to your heart’s delight before dining beside the pool. Come dinner time, treat yourself and your loved ones to a homecooked meal courtesy of your very own chef. At the day’s end, indulge in a long, hot soak in the tub before a cheeky nightcap on the first-floor terrace. Those seeking a little seclusion will relish nights spent in the separate two-bedroom guest cottage complete with kitchenette. 

If it’s not tee time out on the golf course, why not play at tennis or head into Holetown for local arts, crafts and eateries? Otherwise, if you fancy basking and bathing in the Caribbean Sea, the nearest beach is only a seven-minute drive away. Whatever you do, be sure to live the Barbadian dream.

There are shops, restaurants and bars nearby too, and Speightstown is only four minutes away by car. We love the infinity pool and the large deck outside, where you can soak up the sun. Some of the bedrooms have balconies with views of the pool – the perfect spot for your morning coffee. 

Fine Colours

Stay in an architect’s vision of a house on Barbados’ Platinum Coast. This colonial-style house was designed as a holiday home by and for renowned architect Oliver Messel. You can feel the detail from an architect’s eye in the coral columns and stone-hewn bookshelves in the grand living room. Shelves and dressers are adorned with driftwood and shells, a reminder of your location by the beach. A direct path leads to the caster-sugar sand of Mullins Bay and the charming cafes, shops and rum shacks of Speightstown are within walking distance too.

From the open living and dining room, French doors lead to the covered terrace, which feels just like an extension of the home with ferns and yucca adorning the lounge area. There’s a dining table surrounded by trailing botanica out here too. In the heart of the backyard, a Roman-style swimming pool invites you for a dip and there are loungers on the lawn shaded by towering palms. Stepping from the pool terrace back into the house, you’ll find a second sitting room – more casual and cost, like a family snug. Bedrooms all have their own colour schemes in powder blue, dusky pink and soft green and there’s a garden bedroom with bunkbeds for the kids, which can double as an office or third sitting room. 

The Coral Architect
