Beachfront
Villa Beach View is located on the west side of Barbados, near Holetown, formerly known as Jamestown, and just thirty kilometres from Grantley Adams International Airport. The area was once called the Gold Coast of Barbados after its many golden sandy beaches, but it is now often referred to as the Platinum Coast, as it is home to glitzy beachfront mansions with private beaches and desirable luxury resorts. Jamestown has its own parish church and the last of the island’s operational sugar factories called Portvale, and is sometimes called tongue-in-cheek Little England. The location is ideal for family and friends’ holidays with so much to see and do, as well as the perfect place for the most romantic honeymoon. Holetown is home to many famous eateries, lively bars, exclusive nightclubs, designer shops galore, and, of course, those incredible shimmering white sand beautiful beaches.
If you fancy exploring further afield, nothing is too far away as the island of Barbados is just thirty-two kilometres north to south and twenty-five kilometres east to west. The villa’s concierge can arrange car hire, or there are many private and group tours to see the hot spots. A visit to St Nicholas Abbey is highly recommended, where you can walk around the Great House, a Jacobean-style mansion built in 1658 with Tudor, Elizabethan, Renaissance, Flemish, Dutch and French influences from the last three hundred and fifty years. The Abbey also has its own distillery, reputed to be the birthplace of Barbados rum, well worth a tipple. No visit to the Abbey would be complete without a trip on the recently completed Heritage Railway, a restored Victorian locomotive. The railway takes you on a journey through the plantation, past the house, around the lake, through mahogany woodlands, and then leaves you at Cherry Top Hill, where you can admire the vista of the island’s rugged coastline.
For the more active, there are several PGA golf courses scattered across the island, most notably the nearby Sandy Lane and the very well-reputed Royal Westmoreland. A favourite jaunt is a Catamaran sea-fishing trip with live bait, and the added attraction of eating your catch-of-the-day for supper. Days out at sea, swimming, snorkelling or scuba diving are necessary. Charter your own yacht or join a tour with experienced instructors and guides.

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!
