Villa Sunset Reach, Mullins Beach, St Peter, Barbados. Tucked at the quiet northern tip of one of the loveliest beaches on Barbados is the award-winning Villa Sunset Reach. A two-bedroom gem, it sits at the water’s edge and offers up to four travelers a remarkable spot to enjoy a tropical getaway. With private steps leading to the sands below, it easily ranks as an enviable spot along the island’s coveted Platinum Coast. It sits on Mullins Bay, meaning it is only a short distance from Holetown as well as Speightstown, guaranteeing great dining, shopping, sightseeing and beach scene fun.

Yet, the villa itself may be all that is required for the optimal holiday for a solo traveler, romantic couple, or small group. This is because it offers a full household staff that includes a cook (who cheerfully prepares two meals each day), housekeeping, and a property manager. They will be sure all needs are met, leaving a visitor to enjoy the villa’s amenities.

These include the oversized terrace that sits above the sands and features a covered portico area with al fresco dining and a wooden deck with beautiful and comfortable lounges. These outdoor spaces open through floor to ceiling doors and windows into the great room. Airy and beautifully designed, it features pickled wood ceilings, white stone floors and furnishings in honey-hued wood and wicker. The palette of cream and nautical blue is used throughout, blurring the lines between indoors and out, sea and sky.

The two bedrooms include a nicely-appointed master suite with double bed, sea and beach views, and a large and private bath. There is also a dual twin suite with a private bath and lovely garden views.

Whether looking for that idyllic retreat for two, a solo spot to savor the beach or a family holiday to cherish for years to come, Villa Sunset Reach is a flawless solution.

Sunset Reach may be rented separately or with its sister villa Easy Reach.
