With spectacular fairway views stretching towards the sea, this palatial home comes complete with two separate cottages set amid mature gardens. 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.

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.

Access to Beach

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.

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.

Enjoy quiet mornings on the terrace, take a refreshing dip or a guided tour and spend lazy afternoons on a lounger at the nearby Beach Club (daily shuttle service is included). You’ll also find the nearest shops and restaurants in Holetown are just an eight-minute drive away.

Wherever the day takes you, this home provides the perfect setting for barbecue meals and heartwarming gatherings around the table, whilst listening to the sound of your favourite playlist (on the Bose sound system).

In an exclusive gated community is where you will find this fantastic villa which not only has access to the resort’s various amenities such as the gym but also has plenty to offer as a home itself, including an infinity pool and unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea. The shaded outdoor seating area is the ideal spot to begin your days here with a cup of coffee and breakfast as you admire the views. 

Then, choose between a quiet day beside the pool lounging in the sunshine and cooling off in the waters, head to the nearest beach – which is reachable in just four minutes by car – or work up a sweat in the resort’s gym. 

For dinnertime, fire up the barbecue and cook some delicious Caribbean food, and dine alfresco to enjoy an incredible sunset over the stunning ocean panoramas on offer. 

The Turtle's Tide

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Secrets of the Bay

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.
