As we head into September and the weather begins to look bleak, many of us are turning our sights to a tropical winter break. There are so many places around the world that you can look to book once November and December hit that can whisk you away to sunnier climes. One such place we couldn’t recommend enough is Barbados. One of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean, this beautiful country has so much to give. Whether you are looking for a dose of authentic culture, some of the best food you’ve ever eaten or to relax on white powdery sands, it has it all. Here we look at why you need to stay in a luxury villa in Barbados…
To completely relax and unwind
After a hectic year, there’s nothing better than taking some time to completely relax and unwind. With a luxury villa in Barbados, you have your own stunning space where you can really take in your surroundings and feel your stresses melt away. The Hollies Retreat is a fine example of where to book your luxury villa in Barbados. With two stunning properties – The Salt Lake and The White House @ Porters Place, both are guaranteed to go above and beyond your expectations. With your own private pool and just steps from the beach, you can make the most of the peace and quiet, enjoy the feel of the sun on your skin and listen to the sounds of nature around you. You can enjoy open plan living with dining spaces both inside and out and have the freedom to explore the local areas as and when you wish, before retiring to your own plush luxury villa in Barbados.
The food is out of this world
If you’re someone who loves seafood, Barbados needs to be on your list. You can enjoy a range of deliciously fresh seafood, caught and even sometimes cooked right on the beach. You need to try the famed rice and peas, as well as the classic Barbadian side dish of macaroni pie. Of course, you can’t forget about the rum scene in Barbados as it’s one of the best in the world. Whether you head to a bar or get your own bottle of Barbados rum to drink in your luxury villa it’s something you’re not going to want to miss.
The views are spectacular
With its luscious landscape and crystal clear waters, Barbados is the ideal destination when looking for a scenic place to stop. You can stay within the trees in your villa, surrounded by lush palm trees and other beautiful fauna. The beaches roll on for miles with white sand and calm seas that just beg for you to swim or paddleboard in. We recommend taking a boat trip to see the island from a different perspective and there are a few great caves to explore too!
To soak up the culture
When in Barbados you need to head to the capital, Bridgetown where you can view the colourful array of colonial architecture. There are a host of historical spots too including St Nicholas Abbey as well as many rum distilleries where you can experience rum tasting and see how the famous drink is made.
These are just a few reasons you need to stay in a luxury villa in Barbados. When you are looking to relax and also get your fix of culture, food and lifestyle, it ticks every box. Have you been to Barbados? Where are your top places to go? Let us know in the comments below.
