Location
About the surrounding area of Annatto LodgeLet tranquillity overtake you at the local St. James Parish Church, only a 10-minute drive away. The charming old colonial church sits amongst beautifully-kept gardens and was one of the first locations visited by English settlers in 1627. A tour guide will be more than enthusiastic to show you around, giving you a window into history spanning centuries.
Sat on the edge of a cliff, the stone church boasts impeccable views over the ocean, which perfectly complements its stunning architecture. Inside, the building is created using local materials, highlighting its unique Bajan character. The church’s cemetery is a meditative place containing tombstones dating all the way back to the 1600’s. In February, the church is wonderfully decorated with flowers to celebrate the island’s traditional harvest festival.
The peaceful Heywoods beach lies just a 4-minute drive away from the villa. The beach benefits from serenity as it rarely becomes overcrowded and boasts beautiful and calm waters that are ideal for swimming in. Visitors can also indulge in a spot of snorkelling around the rocks as the water is clear and possesses a plethora of striking marine life. When visiting Heywoods, it is advised you bring your own towels and snacks, as there isn’t anywhere to buy these items at the beach. You can easily spend a few hours here at the hottest time of the day.

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!

Great place
We loved the location, the views, the staff, the food - everything!
-
WOW!
The perfect private, secluded, romantic setting - it definitely exceeded our expectations! All you can say about Andrea is WOW! She makes everything so easy and comfortable. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the island and community. Her cooking is exceptional and should be shared. Let her pick the dishes to cook. She provided a wonderful experience but knew when to give us privacy. Great Job to everyone!

Astonishing
We loved the location and the staff - the Lodge was perfect for the two of us! Andrea our cook was excellent, above and beyond our expectations. Breakfast was great everyday and we highly suggest her curry chicken! We really enjoyed snorkeling, our sailing trip and dinner at Tides - sea glass collecting was great fun too!
