Villa La Paloma - St James, Barbados. Wake to the sound of the water lapping against the sands when you choose the villa La Paloma - Barbados for your next holiday. It is, quite accurately, steps from the sea and is part of the lovely Fitts Village in the St. James area of the island. With five bedrooms and a western orientation, it offers plenty of space and simply stunning scenery and sunsets.

A two-story property, it is done in iconic island style and sits in an impressively manicured garden full of native plants and swaying palms. With upper and lower level terraces, it blends indoor and outdoor living spaces beautifully, and your only job during your holiday will be to experience them all. After all, the property is staffed with a housekeeping team, groundskeepers and your own chef. That leaves you nothing more to do than savor the scenery and enjoy the many waterfront activities.

The property itself is replete with amenities in addition to the sea just steps from the front door. There is a large plunge pool in the garden area, the verandah with al fresco dining and lounging, the second floor terrace with its lounges, hammock, bar and views, and the game room with its pool table and media center. There is a large, gourmet kitchen and the formal dining room, and every space opens on to a view or directly to a terrace or balcony.

Of course, the five bedrooms are meant to be idyllic spaces to relax and recharge, too. There are four on the second floor and one on the ground level. The lower level bedroom is a king suite and three of the second floor rooms are king suites. Each has its own bath and sitting area.

When you want a perfect tropical getaway, it will be difficult to match the premium amenities found at the stunning La Paloma - Barbados.
