Mirador

Villa Mirador Barbados. With its location along the coveted west coast of Barbados, the Villa Mirador is close to the shopping, dining and entertainment of the St. James area, but as it sits directly along the golden sands, you may find you have little interest in straying far from this amazing property. Newly built, it is a fantastic example if contemporary design merged with island concepts. Upper and lower level terraces, an enormous expanse of sun deck and a palette that mirrors the sea blue, sky grey and cloudy white outside, capture the essence of the region.

Guests will love the many amenities to be savored at their sea side retreat. There is the household staff that includes a private cook and housekeeping team. There is also the massive, private terrace with its elegant landscaping and unique features. At the far edge, closest to the sea is an array of enormous, oversized sun beds. These are adjacent to a comfortable and welcoming al fresco dining and lounging space, and between them are rows of charming palms. Tucked discreetly at the back of the terrace, and flanding two sides of the open air terrace are two plunge pools offering the ultimate in relaxation and luxury.

Step inside the oversized doors leading from the terrace and you enter the airy and stylish great room. With a media room, lounge, dining room and breakfast bar that opens into the well-appointed gourmet kitchen, it will become just as much a favorite gathering spot as the other areas of the property.

And when your days of sightseeing, swimming and enjoying the premises are over - and you've taken in that sunset - the bedrooms are also idyllic retreats. One is on the main floor and opens to the terrace, the remainders are on the upper level and feature ensuite baths and private terraces.

With so much to offer and in such a beautiful way, it is a good idea to make the Villa Mirador your home during your next visit to Barbados.
