From its state-of-the-art facilities to its commitment to respecting its natural heritage, Apes Hill transforms the concept of a tropical getaway into something truly extraordinary. At 1000 feet above sea level, this exclusive resort offers breathtaking panoramas of both the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean so whether you're here to perfect your golf swing, unwind in serene surroundings, or explore the rugged beauty of Barbados, Apes Hill offers an experience like no other.
Stay in luxurious villas
The resort's contemporary villas are the very definition of understated luxury. Designed with the surrounding landscapes in mind, these homes feature three air-conditioned bedrooms, a private 30-foot pool, and even an electric golf cart for getting around the expansive property. Every detail of these villas has been meticulously crafted to blend indoor luxury with the natural beauty of the outdoors.
All villas include a select number of rounds of golf, a private golf cart, beach access at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion resort, and access to the Beach Club. Guests staying in the 4-bedroom villas will also enjoy an exclusive premium in-villa chef experience for stays of 8 nights or more.
Elevated living, elevated golf
As the most elevated golf resort in Barbados, Apes Hill stands apart with its 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ron Kirby. Imagine playing a round amidst lush gullies, rare coral formations, and ancient fig trees while taking in views that stretch across the ocean. For those new to the game or keen for a relaxed family outing, the 9-hole Par 3 short course provides an equally stunning and enjoyable experience.
Golf enthusiasts will also appreciate the resort's Performance Centre—the only facility of its kind in the Caribbean. Here, cutting-edge technology like swing analysis and biometric scanning meets expert coaching to help improve your game, all while ensuring wellness underpins your experience. The golf courses are a signature feature, but the activities don’t stop there. Spend your mornings finding zen with yoga on the highest peaks, then challenge your friends to a competitive match on one of the four tennis courts or eight padel courts.
Wellness reimagined with Oyogo
Apes Hill takes wellness to new heights with its partnership with the esteemed Oyogo agency. Fusing movement, creativity, and culture, the Oyogo programme provides a one-of-a-kind wellness experience for those looking to recharge their mind, body, and spirit. The programme showcases a diverse range of activities, including Pilates and breathwork for ultimate relaxation and sound baths to create deep, meditative calm. For something different, try the unique workshops such as free-diving and hand-built clay pottery.
