Villa Bonavista Barbados. You may think you have stepped into a classic European villa when you arrive at the stunning Villa Bonavista in Barbados. With its Italianate design featuring upper and lower level verandahs, lots of pillars and scroll work, arches and stucco, it is a classic and appealing structure. Set within its tropical gardens and grounds and resting alongside the glorious sands of Gibbs Beach, though, it is distinctly Caribbean.

This opulent, four-bedroom gem has a lot to offer and it can easily be your only destination throughout your holiday. Though just steps from the sands, it also features an enormous and vastly appealing, private pool terrace. Framed by the gardens and just a few steps from the beach, it is a wonderfully private paradise. It is flanked by an oversized verandah that includes an enormous amount of al fresco living space.

There is a dining suite, a large and formal lounge and a full bar. It is just a few steps from there, and through arched doors into the formal, interior spaces. These are decorated in a classic style with a pale plum and cream palette throughout. The rooms here include the enormous living room, a formal entry hall and the dining area and lounge with an authentically European water feature.

The massive, gourmet kitchen is yours to use freely, but with a full-time chef to make your meals and a housekeeping staff to tend to everything else, you may want to dedicate yourself to enjoying every inch of this amazing property. That includes enjoying the luxuries of the bedrooms. There are two lower and two upper level suites and each is decorated in a unique color scheme. Two feature Juliet balconies and king beds and two offer views of the gardens. All have large and private baths and incredibly spacious proportions.

Ideal for a larger family or set of friends, the Villa Bonavista is likely to become your new favorite destination in Barbados.

Note: Villa Bonavista requires that guests are fully vaccinated against COVID.
