Overview
Hidden away in over two acres of tropical gardens on the west coast’s exclusive Sandy Lane Estate, Evergreen is a large, elegant villa that enjoys total seclusion. With a distinctive architectural design and spacious rooms so stylishly decorated, it’s a grand place to call home during your holiday.
Evergreen features a mix of modern art pieces and timeless antiques for a unique and tasteful look. Each room has been furnished with your comfort in mind, with an added touch of luxury and convenience in the little extras on offer.
With numerous living spaces dotted around this villa, there’s a place that suits everyone’s needs. As you arrive at Evergreen you’re greeted by a palatial entrance terrace with impossibly comfortable sofas. This area leads onto the huge main living room. There’s enough seating to allow for both formal gatherings as well as for a couple of guests to enjoy some quiet time alone. For more intimate occasions, get everyone together on the oversized corner sofa in the television room for a cosy movie night. And on a 63 inch flat screen television, films never looked better! There’s also access to a balcony terrace. The dining space is set just to the side of the entrance terrace under another partially-covered terrace. A large, glass table lets up to ten people dine in style. The kitchen is fully-fitted and has everything needed for meal preparation and cooking.
There are four air-conditioned and generous sized bedrooms in total. All feature either king-size or twin beds and boast en-suite facilities. The Master bedroom has stunning views of the sprawling gardens, while two of the guest rooms feature access straight into them.
The outside space isn’t just confined to the numerous balconies and terraces, there’s even a rooftop bar and dance floor! There are also two acres of idyllic, tropical gardens to enjoy. Here you’ll find even more seating areas for soaking up your tranquil surroundings. Enjoying a tucked away setting within the gardens is a large, private swimming pool with a selection of sun loungers beside it.
The villa is located on the Sandy Lane estate and includes beach access at the designated area for villa owners. The facility includes chaise lounges, umbrellas, snack bar, washrooms, showers, and some villas have a dedicated cabana. The beach is located on the left of the Sandy Lane Hotel Beach. Please note villa guests do not have use of the Sandy Lane hotel facilities but can make reservations for the restaurants and the golf course at the hotel, additional charges will apply.

About the Island & Getting There
About Barbados
At first glance you could be mistaken for thinking that Barbados is purely a beach holiday destination, but you're urged to reconsider this common belief. The island of Barbados is peppered with astonishing landscapes (both coastal and inland), enchanting locals, sublime cuisine, intriguing rums, fascinating wildlife, symbolic architecture and a selection of striking holiday villas.
Delve deep into the history of the island and start your holiday by visiting Sunbury Plantation House & Museum. This former plantation was built in 1660's and the premises are scattered with antiquities that delicately detail a recent history of Barbados. St. Nicholas Abbey also provides an insightful representation of Sugarcane production, Bajan artefacts and a wonderful observation point at Cherry Tree Hill. If you’re keen to visit one of the oldest Parliamentary buildings within the Commonwealth and appreciate the democratic legacy of Barbados, drop by The Parliament Buildings. This neo-gothic congress can be found in Bridgetown and act as a representation of Barbados’s Independence. There is so much history present throughout the island and as a result, Bridgetown and its Garrison has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, which the locals are very proud of.
Great efforts have been made to persevere the natural beauty of Barbados, so if you’re drawn to the exploration of National Parks and multicoloured gardens, it won’t take you long to realise that Barbados is a haven for such paradises! Within the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Farley Hill National Park, Flower Forest, Hunte's Gardens and Welchman Hall Gully - visitors, and Botanist alike, will be lost for hours admiring these astonishing botanical parklands. Keep an eye out for the Dwarf Poinciana, or Peacock Flower…it’s the national flower of Barbados.
Bajan’s take their food very seriously! If you and your fellow travellers are enticed by the gastronomic aspect of holidaying, we believe you’ve selected the right island. With every aspect of cookery mastered; from pickling to freshly prepared dishes, sweet & savoury, fragrant & spicy and of course, the bountiful choice of seafood. Check out the food stalls in Paynes Bay Church – where vendors exhibit locally made dishes & street food that will scintillate the taste buds. At the end of every working week, locals and tourists both flock to Oistins, for 'Fish Fry Day'. This is a must for those who haven’t undergone the experience! The evening starts with barbecues and then ascends into a joyful party. This caps off a busy few days of work for locals as well as the 'strains' associated with serious holidaying.
Barbados is of course iconic for its Beaches & Rum…so why not bring them together? You will have to go out of your way not to be able to find a beach bar along the west coast of the island, as well as the countless Rum Shops. Yes, you’ve read correctly, Rum Shops! These small and locally run businesses embrace the Bajan spice of life, in liquid form. Very delicious! If you’re searching for something a little more special, take a trip to the east coast and visit Sand Dunes Bar and Restaurant at Windy Hill, for an unforgettable experience.
Barbados is a distinct and striking part of the Caribbean. It’s a great fit for all types of travellers, as the island really does have it all. For a little more information about this delightful island, check out our guide to a remarkable stay!

Best Suited For: All AgesFor families with older children, Evergreen offers spaces for both independence and getting together as a group.

A real 5/5 villa
Beautiful house and gardens, and exceptional staff who looked after us so well we didn't want to leave” 5 of 5 stars Eight of us stayed for 2 weeks, and the staff were wonderful. The cook made us lovely meals. The bedrooms were lovely, and everything was kept to a high standard. The gardens were perfectly kept, in fact the best garden in the area. The use of Sandy lane beach with a cabana was great. There were 2 turtles swimming there most days. There is a bar for our use, however it was not open most of the time we were there, because it was low season, but we were allowed to get drinks in the Sandy Lane Hotel, which served the best Rum Punches! The beach is walking distance from the beach, we had a car but needed the exercise. And shops and supermarket nearby in Holetown.
