Tucked into a gated community on Barbados's west coast, this townhouse is built around a private plunge pool and shaded terrace – the kind of setup that makes a long Caribbean lunch stretch well into the afternoon. The living room opens directly onto the outdoor space, so inside and outside blur pleasantly. Reeds Bay Beach is a three-minute walk, and Speightstown's laid-back cafes and waterfront are seven minutes away. All three bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and king-size beds, so nobody draws the short straw.
