If you are planning a holiday to Barbados and have considered whether to book a luxury villa or a resort stay, why not consider a blend of both? Guests of the charming Villa Sapphire Beach 116 get amenities and services similar to a resort, but in a setting that is more like a villa than a typical suite. The two-story villa has amazing views, and offers an array of indoor and outdoor living spaces.

It is part of part of the Sapphire Beach community, and offers you direct access to more than 300 feet of private beach front along Dover Beach. Visitors also have free use of the two oversized, ocean front pools, the gardens and grounds, the modern fitness center and the benefits of a gated and secured community. Minutes from the St. Lawrence Gap, the airport, and the shopping at Bridgetown, it is also close to Oistins Fishing Village with its amazing dining and entertainment.

The lower level features a bedroom, bath and terrace that is just steps from the pool. Take a quick stroll across the grass and you are in the pool, or you can opt to recline on your loungers in the privacy of your palm-shaded, ground floor terrace. Above, the main living level offers you another verandah space which is fully-furnished in Caribbean style, with sea grass and wicker furniture, and serves a living room and dining area.

Through the enormous glass doors, you enter the great room, and this uses a dynamic palette of sea green and blue along with sandy hues to create a wonderful living room and entertainment center, which opens to the kitchen. With a breakfast bar making it an open-air kitchen, it is a galley-style space that features stainless appliances and premium work surfaces.

The bedrooms are both ensuite, the master is a queen suite and the lower level offers dual twins. They are decorated with the same stylish hues, and are retreats of their own. This all adds up to make the Villa Sapphire Beach 116 a great choice for families or friends seeking luxury while on an island holiday.
