With twelve spacious suites and extensive grounds, The Great House offers tranquil, idyllic accommodation for large families or groups to enjoy an unforgettable experience.
The exterior of this impressive private home is spectacular, with coral stone walls, elegant terraces and stunning views. The interiors, epitomize a relaxed, understated elegance, creating a thoroughly laidback ambience within. The property is split over two neighbouring sites, with the accommodation, living and dining on the seaside and the recreational facilities on the land side.
Twelve unique and enchanting suites are housed within; The Great House, The Carriage House, Hillaby House and the two cottages, all of which contain king and twin beds, allowing flexibility to prepare them all as king-size beds if preferred. Two rooms also feature an additional single bed niche, perfect for younger children. Each delightful room embodies the same opulent, yet understated charm, with rich Barbadian elements, and subtle influences from Europe and North America. Outside many of the rooms are delightfully secluded terrace areas, protected from view by fragrant and visually pleasing foliage. A private bathroom accompanies each suite, offering immaculate, luxurious facilities. A highlight is an open-air bathroom in the South Cottage, where you can bathe under the stars within a charming private walled patio garden.
This diverse collection entails tons of independent living spaces, with an incredible array of bespoke furniture across each unique room. Several of the suites feature vaulted ceilings, while others have wall to wall French doors welcoming in the fresh air. There are countless superb places to sit, dine and relax. Not only this, but you’ll also find a gym, a home cinema, a grand piano and spa treatment and massage rooms! Along with these remarkable facilities, you will also benefit from a team of 26 staff members, covering everything from chefs to housekeeping, including four butlers, four security and a wonderful villa manager.
With two and a half acres of perfectly manicured grounds, you’ll find a world of opportunity awaits you amid the expansive, luscious lawns and gardens and lily ponds bursting with fish. One of the many highlights is the extraordinary twenty-metre infinity pool, which sits beautifully under the tall trees and overlooks the ocean. Loungers all around it invite you to put your feet up and admire this excellent setting. And for memorable mealtimes like no other, enjoy sublime alfresco dining on the terraces or in the gazebos, in the most beautiful setting for getting everyone together, gazing out over the turquoise Caribbean Sea! For exercise, there is a floodlit US Open style tennis court for your exclusive use and state of the art, air-conditioned gym with every conceivable piece of equipment. Tucked right on the beachfront, is a private beach bar with a wood-fired pizza oven. There are two boats, an 18ft Boston Whaler for water-skiing and inflatable rides and an ultra-luxurious 33ft Regal powerboat for day trips, cruising the idyllic west coast of Barbados.

Location:
Right on the beachfront, The Great House could hardly be better placed to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and the cool sands of this sublime Caribbean island! And what’s more, you’re within walking distance of all of the amenities you could wish for, and stunning beaches.
Indeed, this western coast of Barbados is known as the Platinum Coast, and it won’t take long to work out why. Mullins Bay and Heywoods Beach are both right here on your doorstep, while only slightly further afield, you’ll find Sandy Lane, Royal Westmoreland, and the shopping, nightlife and restaurants of Holetown, all within a 20-minute drive. As a result, this is a fantastic location. The legendary surfing spot of the Soup Bowl is less than 20km away and will provide unforgettable viewing, and perhaps you can even have a go if the conditions allow! You can also swim with turtles nearby or try out scuba diving in some of the Caribbean’s clearest waters.
Nearby you will also find golf clubs, shopping, beach bars and world-class restaurants; everything you could wish for on the culinary side within just a few minutes. Holetown and the exclusive international boutiques of Limegrove are around 10 minutes away, making it a great place to start exploring.
Barbados itself offers guests a paradise in the middle of the Caribbean Sea with friendly locals, fabulous weather and picture-perfect landscapes. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the busier parts of the island, this is an idyllic tranquil location up in the northwest of the island, near to some of the island’s quieter beaches.
The capital city of Bridgetown is just a 17km drive away, where you can enjoy a coffee or a little duty-free shopping, or even catch the West Indies cricket experience at Kensington Oval! And with Grantley Adams International Airport less than 45 minutes away, you can be settling into this majestic home soon after landing.
