The Beach House is situated on Barbados’ west coast just thirteen minutes drive from Bridgetown, the island's largest and capital city. The city is full of restaurants and shops to visit as part of your holiday and is full of colonial architecture, rich in the island’s history. It also has UNESCO World Heritage Site Status. If you’re not a fan of larger cities, a mere seven minute drive away is Holetown, a far smaller city full of history. Holetown was the location of the first British landing in Barbados in 1625 and is the perfect spot for water sports.
Holetown is also home to Chattel Village, a range of shops set within tropical gardens. Chattel houses are known to date back to plantation days and were designed to be moveable. They come in a variety of stunning colours, ranging from bright yellows to pastel purples and are definitely worth a visit. The shops themselves sell clothes, local art, and artisan items to take back as a souvenir or gift.
At twenty-one miles long and fourteen miles wide, it will be easy for you to explore the whole of the island during your visit and experience everything Barbados has to offer. The west coast of Barbados is dubbed “The Platinum Coast” and is famous for stunning golden beaches and turquoise waters that are calm enough to swim in. From a gentle swim to water sports such as jet-skiing, Barbados’ beaches have something to offer to everyone.
