Looking for the best beachfront villas in Barbados? You’ve got great taste. In this guide, we’ll travel around the coast of the island to find the most stunning villas on the beach that Barbados has to offer so you can book your flight, pack your bags, and dip your toes in the Caribbean Sea!
Why Choose Beachfront Villas In Barbados?
It doesn’t get any better than white sand beaches and bright blue water. The beaches in Barbados are some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, and it definitely makes sense to maximize your time with a view of the coast. While there are lots of great places to stay in Barbados, a beachfront villa is the best choice if you want plenty of space and easy access to the ocean. This is also the move if you’re visiting with a family or as a group since you’ll have a kitchen, living space, and outdoor space to enjoy all to yourselves.
You won’t lose any time packing up your gear and trekking down to the beach. Instead, you can be on the sand from sunrise to sunset. Since Barbados is buzzing with fun things to do, these beach villas are a great way to get some private relaxation while still being close to the action.
Where To Find The Best Villas On The Beach Barbados
The west coast and the south coast are where you’ll find most villas on the beach in Barbados. It’s possible to find villas on the east coast as well, but the selection is more limited.
- The west coast of Barbados, also called the Platinum Coast, is known for having luxurious accommodation options. Here, you’ll find calm and crystal clear waters for swimming and snorkeling. The ambiance is peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing taste of luxury. The main towns on the west coast are Holetown and Speightstown
- On the south coast, you’ll find plenty of incredible Barbados restaurants, activities, and beaches for swimming and surfing. The main towns are Worthing, St. Lawrence Gap, and Oistins.
- As you move around to the southeast coast by Foul Bay and Crane, the water gets rougher but the sea views are top-notch.
- The east coast around Bathsheba is a surfers paradise and the best location for a rugged, off-the-beaten-path Barbados vacation. Here, world-class surf meets lush plant life and the coastline stretches for miles.
