Situated in the Parish of Saint James, the villa is only a quarter mile away from the range of shopping facilities in Holetown. You will only be five miles away from the island’s capital, Bridgetown, where you will find plenty to be discovered. For shopping, try Broad Street and Swan Street where you’ll also be greeted with the lively music and atmosphere of the local culture. Bridgetown itself is a fantastic historical site and an ode to British colonial architecture built during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The downtown part of Bridgetown and it’s Garrison was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2012.
Nidhe Israel Museum is a 20-minute drive away from Villa Sandy Beach. Located in a 1750 Jewish community centre that has been restored, visitors will learn the story of Barbadian Jews. The ancient building is the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Western hemisphere as it dates all the way back to 1654. Today, the synagogue is still a place of worship as well as being a popular museum. The museum contains beautiful Judaica, from artefacts to a Mikva, which is a ritual bath. All of this can be seen via the museum’s tours.
Right beside the villa, you will discover Scarlet Restaurant, whose motto is ‘eat, drink, play.’ The lively venue boasts a vivid red interior and an equally dynamic menu. Some of the most popular food choices include Bajan rarebit, Baxters Road chicken, fish pie and prawn sesame toast.
Villa Sandy Beach is only twelve miles away from the Grantley Adams International Airport.
