Discover the ultimate Barbados villa escape

One of the best-loved Caribbean destinations, Barbados is most often associated with luxury hotels and resorts – of which it has some of the best. But it’s also a wonderful place for a villa holiday, with lots of choices to suit everyone from couples to extended families and groups of friends.

Discover the ultimate Barbados villa escape

Villa holidays give you more space and more flexibility, with the likes of fully fitted kitchens, private pools, gardens, and even staff to cater to your every whim. They’re especially ideal for intimate groups, families, and generally anyone who wants the privacy and comforts of a home-from-home along with personalised attention. To inspire your next getaway, we’ve picked out some of our favourite Barbados villas.

Apes Hill Barbados

Uniquely overlooking both the east and west coasts of this gorgeous island, Apes Hill gives you the pleasures of a hotel combined with the privacy of your own home, with villas set on a resort with a strong community feel. Its 475 acres are perched 330-metres above the sea, offering breathtaking views of deep, winding gullies, coral rock formations, sand dunes, and white-capped breakers.

Apes Hill is renowned for its golf course, but it also offers other outdoor pursuits, including padel tennis, hiking along nature trails, and cycling. You’re also free to simply relax by your secluded private pool or in the spa, or you can opt for blissful beach days and thrilling water sports.

Villas at Apes Hill are elegant one-or two-storey sanctuaries designed to cocoon you in comfort, while the laidback 20th Hole restaurant is a cosy spot in which to refuel on delicious dishes based on local produce. You’re also only minutes from historic Holetown with its tempting restaurants, galleries, museums, and picture-perfect beaches.
