Happy Trees

A superb four-bedroom villa in the upscale Saint James parish, Happy Trees enjoys an excellent location on the Sandy Lane Estate. Near Holetown on Barbados’ western coast, this villa is well-equipped, elegantly furnished and just steps away from the beach. You will also enjoy the use of a beach cabana and over an acre of landscaped grounds.

This is a modern and eco-friendly villa, making use of solar water heaters, LED lighting and recycled roof materials among other features. The adjustable slatted roof allows you to let more light in as required, or keep the sun out. Indoor and outdoor lighting and music systems controlled using wall switches or one of two iPads allow you to dim or brighten the lighting in the garden and the house.

 A furnished, covered terrace with seating and dining areas leads you through to the living space. This impressive central space looks right out on the ocean and has a relaxed, beachside feel. There is a well-equipped kitchen in the same open-plan area, and with staff on hand to cook for you, you won’t need to become too familiar with its many appliances. Flatscreens with Apple TV and DirecTV, and Wi-Fi, provide entertainment whenever you want it.

In one wing of the house, the four en -suite bedrooms look out onto the gardens, each one of them superbly stylish and air-conditioned. The bathrooms are a real treat in themselves, so long showers are even more pleasurable than usual. Outside, the gorgeous salt water infinity pool is waiting for you, with a lounge area perfect for cocktails and sunbathing.

Nearby Holetown has a lot to uncover when you do venture out, including irresistible beachfront dining and gorgeous sunset strolls down on the boardwalk. You can look forward to high-end shopping, nightlife and live entertainment, and you’ll be just a short drive from the capital, Bridgetown, and a host of beautiful gardens and Bajan landmarks.
