A five-minute drive from Speightstown on Barbados’ north-eastern coast, Beach Break House provides the perfect island getaway for a group of up to eight. With its absolutely breath-taking ocean views, this villa is as close to the beach as it’s possible to be, and it offers a private deck and plunge pool just steps away.
This two-storey villa is ideal for exploring Barbados’ beautiful Platinum Coast, and within easy reach of the Westmoreland and Sandy Lane golf clubs. It is ideally positioned for Speightstown and a short drive from the ever-popular Holetown just down the coast, as it is located midway between the two towns.
The villa features a terrace on the lower level with sun loungers and a tempting plunge pool which is perfect for a soak as the sun goes down. The upper level has another balcony terrace with seating which looks directly out on the Caribbean Ocean. This terrace adjoins the main living area of the house which provides lots of comfortable lounge space with television and DVD.
Also, with direct access to the terrace is an elegant dining area with seating for eight, which complements a high-quality kitchen with a breakfast bar and pantry. A cook/ housekeeper is available to prepare lunch and dinner for you each day.
Four beautifully furnished bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom. One has twin beds, and all are kept cool with a ceiling fan and air-conditioning.
Once a busy port, nearby Speightstown is a lovely place to experience the real Barbados. Look out for the fish fry at the Six Men’s Fish Market on Friday and Saturday nights – the catch is as fresh as it gets. Around 15 minutes’ drive to the south, Holetown is the home of this side of the island’s coolest nightlife, whether you want to hit the clubs or enjoy dinner at a beautiful beachfront restaurant.

Formerly an important port nicknamed ‘Little Bristol’, charming Speightstown has an authentic edge which contrasts with the more tourist-targeted Holetown to the south. While no longer a seafaring hub, it’s still busy and enjoyably historic. A museum and gallery of Caribbean Art are among its attractions, as are its beautiful beaches which are quieter than many of those along the coast.
North of the town, the Six Men’s Fish Market is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. Its fish fry is quite the occasion, where you can enjoy the fresh catch under the night sky, along with live entertainment. A 165ft-long shipwreck called the Pamir lies just off Six Men’s Bay, and is part of the reason this is a popular spot for scuba-diving too.
Head south of Speightstown, and the glamorous ‘Platinum Coast’ awaits you. The area around Holetown is something of a playground for the rich and famous, attracted no doubt by its secluded coves, white sand beaches and cool waterfront restaurants. Plenty of luxury stores and hotels have made their mark in Holetown, and there’s lots of nightlife, especially around First and Second Streets. A stroll along the boardwalk is a great way to soak up the atmosphere of this most upscale of Barbadian towns.
Inland from Speightstown lies the natural beauty of the Farley Hill National Park, just eight minutes’ drive from town. The park was once the site of a beautiful Georgian mansion house which entertained royalty – the remains of it are still there today. Enjoying a fresh Atlantic breeze from the east, it’s a fine place for a picnic or to enjoy live entertainment – events such as the Barbados Reggae Festival are often held at Farley Hill.

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!
