Overview
Part of the beautiful Mullins Bay community just moments from the beach on the west coast of Barbados, Coco is an elegant townhouse set within idyllic, tropical gardens.
With luxurious features and furnishings and the highest attention to detail throughout, Coco is a shining example of what happens when sophisticated style and ultimate comfort combine. The marble floors and immaculate finish in every room complement the beautifully landscaped gardens that the townhouse sits within.
Coco offers spacious accommodation over each floor, with the living room being a particularly sociable area to get together with the family. It’s an open and airy space, thanks to it having direct access to the partially-covered terrace via patio doors. A sofa and armchair are there to provide comfortable relaxation, with a small desk and chair for quieter moments and checking emails. Adjacent to this room is the fully-fitted kitchen with high quality granite countertops. The terrace features a seating area for enjoying pre-dinner drinks and a dining table for al fresco meals.
Like the rest of the townhouse, all four bedrooms benefit from air conditioning. They each have a king size bed that can be separated into twins and an ensuite bathroom. Three of the bedrooms also have terraces overlooking the pool area, with a range of seating options for soaking up the views. Built-in wardrobes and a safe in each bedroom mean comfort and convenience, with added security that lets you sleep even easier at night.
Steps down from the main terrace take you into a small, but charming courtyard garden. Here are some further seating areas, meaning everyone can find their own favourite spot to relax and unwind. The garden leads out to a large, communal swimming pool with a wonderful cascading waterfall feature. If you keep walking through this area you’ll reach the Royal Westmoreland Beach Club and restaurant, which you have access to during your stay.
What you should know…
- There are other properties nearby but you aren’t overlooked
- The swimming pool is communal
- Please note that you will need to select 8 guests should you wish to have access to all 4 bedrooms. Those selecting fewer guests will only have access to a prorated number of bedrooms based on 2 guests per room.

Location
About the surrounding area of CocoCoco is part of the Mullins Bay development, meaning you can enjoy access to the Royal Westmoreland Beach Club and restaurant, as well the facilities at nearby Sugar Hill. Golf is available at both Royal Westmoreland and Sandy Lane. Other amenities within easy reach include restaurants, bars and shops.
Mullins Beach is less than a 5-minute walk away, so it couldn’t be easier to enjoy days out by the ocean. The sand here is soft and golden, with tranquil waters that are ideal for swimming and snorkelling. An exciting range of watersports are available too. Enjoy drinks from the beach bar as you relax on a lounger and take in the beautiful sea views.
Speightstown is just 5 minutes away by car and is a fantastic place to learn more about the area’s long history. The streets are lined with colonial buildings, with Arlington House Museum being one of the most attractive and fascinating. The town is also home to several beaches, which tend to be less crowded than many others along this part of the coast.
A 15-minute drive away is Holetown. Smaller and quieter than Speightstown, its main attraction is Folkestone Marine Park and Visitor Centre. Go snorkelling here to spot a variety of colourful tropical fish and then enjoy a picnic on one of the shady lawned areas. If it’s some retail therapy you’re after, then head to Limegrove Lifestyle Centre with its upmarket shops and boutiques. Also give the Best of Barbados Gift Shop a visit. This family-run shop offers a range of souvenirs that are perfect for bringing home to family and friends.

About the Island & Getting There
About Barbados
At first glance you could be mistaken for thinking that Barbados is purely a beach holiday destination, but you're urged to reconsider this common belief. The island of Barbados is peppered with astonishing landscapes (both coastal and inland), enchanting locals, sublime cuisine, intriguing rums, fascinating wildlife, symbolic architecture and a selection of striking holiday villas.
Delve deep into the history of the island and start your holiday by visiting Sunbury Plantation House & Museum. This former plantation was built in 1660's and the premises are scattered with antiquities that delicately detail a recent history of Barbados. St. Nicholas Abbey also provides an insightful representation of Sugarcane production, Bajan artefacts and a wonderful observation point at Cherry Tree Hill. If you’re keen to visit one of the oldest Parliamentary buildings within the Commonwealth and appreciate the democratic legacy of Barbados, drop by The Parliament Buildings. This neo-gothic congress can be found in Bridgetown and act as a representation of Barbados’s Independence. There is so much history present throughout the island and as a result, Bridgetown and its Garrison has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, which the locals are very proud of.
Great efforts have been made to persevere the natural beauty of Barbados, so if you’re drawn to the exploration of National Parks and multicoloured gardens, it won’t take you long to realise that Barbados is a haven for such paradises! Within the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Farley Hill National Park, Flower Forest, Hunte's Gardens and Welchman Hall Gully - visitors, and Botanist alike, will be lost for hours admiring these astonishing botanical parklands. Keep an eye out for the Dwarf Poinciana, or Peacock Flower…it’s the national flower of Barbados.
Bajan’s take their food very seriously! If you and your fellow travellers are enticed by the gastronomic aspect of holidaying, we believe you’ve selected the right island. With every aspect of cookery mastered; from pickling to freshly prepared dishes, sweet & savoury, fragrant & spicy and of course, the bountiful choice of seafood. Check out the food stalls in Paynes Bay Church – where vendors exhibit locally made dishes & street food that will scintillate the taste buds. At the end of every working week, locals and tourists both flock to Oistins, for 'Fish Fry Day'. This is a must for those who haven’t undergone the experience! The evening starts with barbecues and then ascends into a joyful party. This caps off a busy few days of work for locals as well as the 'strains' associated with serious holidaying.
Barbados is of course iconic for its Beaches & Rum…so why not bring them together? You will have to go out of your way not to be able to find a beach bar along the west coast of the island, as well as the countless Rum Shops. Yes, you’ve read correctly, Rum Shops! These small and locally run businesses embrace the Bajan spice of life, in liquid form. Very delicious! If you’re searching for something a little more special, take a trip to the east coast and visit Sand Dunes Bar and Restaurant at Windy Hill, for an unforgettable experience.
Barbados is a distinct and striking part of the Caribbean. It’s a great fit for all types of travellers, as the island really does have it all. For a little more information about this delightful island, check out our guide to a remarkable stay!

We were extremely pleased
We were extremely pleased with our stay. Coco is a beautiful spot. Location is perfect. Meena and Nyree (staff at Coco) were fantastic in all regards and really went the extra mile to make our stay perfect. No complaints whatsoever. And of course, Barbados is definitely our favourite destination in the Caribbean.
