Blooming Pride

Tucked into a boutique ten-villa resort on Barbados's West Coast, this villa blends considered interiors with serious outdoor appeal. The lush patio – shaded by mature tropical trees and furnished with daybeds – is made for long alfresco lunches, while the covered terrace extends the living space into the open air. A shared free-form pool with waterfalls and a central gazebo sits at the heart of the resort. Gibbs Beach, with its calm surf and chair rentals, is just a short walk away.

Home truths:
* The second bedroom can be configured as either two single beds or one US king, depending on what works best for you. Just let your host know in advance which setup you'd prefer.
* Air conditioning is available in the bedrooms only – the living and dining areas rely on ceiling fans to keep cool.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool and tennis court here. They're shared with the resort's other residents.
* Your stay comes with a strong team of staff – a housekeeper five days a week (9am–3pm, with Sunday off and one other day to be agreed), an on-call concierge manager and property manager both available seven days a week, and regular pool and garden maintenance.
* For check-ins between 20th December and 10th January, please contact us. Cancellations made 60 or more days before check-in would be eligible for a 50% refund. Cancellations made less than 60 days before check-in would not be eligible for a refund.
