Overview
Pride Villa is where the enchanting countryside and beautiful tropical beach meet. Situated within the prestigious centuries-old Porters estate, the home is surrounded by gorgeous greenery and is only a 10-minute drive away from the charming Sandy Lane beach. Pride Villa is reachable via a lovely driveway that runs through a magical mahogany forest.
The home is truly a tropical paradise and is enhanced by a beautiful lily pond surrounded by flowering hedges. A small garden with a well-kept lawn and striking wall designed entirely of wooden shutters provides more space to enjoy the great outdoors from.
Inside, the home is tastefully styled throughout and consists of an original wing and a modern wing that was recently added. You will find the living room in the home’s original wing. The large and spacious living room boasts a laidback colour palette and a comfy seating area, where guests can unwind from the day’s activities. Indoor dining will be a special experience at Pride Villa. The room benefits from a dramatic high ceiling and marble floors, a distinctive woodwork design, rustic décor and a unique metalwork chandelier.
The contemporary kitchen is designed with attractive marble floors and quartz counter tops; however, you’ll be spending very little time here due to the villa’s in-house talented cook.
The home’s stellar feature is a spectacular sheltered veranda with plenty of cosy seating areas and views of the pool. Here, you can spend days enjoying the brilliant sunny weather and the glistening private pool.

Location
About the surrounding area of Pride VillaSt. James is an enchanting nearby local church that can be visited for a peaceful retreat. St. James marks one of the first locations visited by settlers to the island in the 1600’s. Today, it is steeped in intriguing history.
The church’s beautiful architecture is a wonderful sight against the ancient trees that are dotted across the church’s grounds. St. James is the oldest church in Barbados, yet still puts on a tranquil and uplifting Sunday service, complete with an organ that still plays music. Inside, the church is decorated with exquisite stained-glass windows, poetry and a gorgeous Tree of life pottery mosaic. Outside, ancient grave stones remind visitors of how much history the church has seen. It’s best to visit here in the morning or midday when you can take in the serenity of the local surroundings and enjoy the views, lit up by the sunshine.
The Lone Star is a local restaurant that fuses European and Caribbean cuisines to create something truly unique and delicious. The venue serves wood stone-fired pizzas, a range of salads and fresh seafood as well as an array of dazzling cocktails in the brand-new cocktail lounge.
Take a trip to Lone Star in the morning and enjoy devouring your tasty breakfast on the beach, on the restaurant’s Boardwalk. Inside benefits from luxurious white décor and the walls are emblazoned with vibrant artworks.

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!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesMullins beach provides a fantastic spot for a family day out and is only an 8-minute drive a way. The beach has the perfect waters for jet-skiing and snorkelling but is also fairly quiet and peaceful if you just wish to relax in the sun while the kids are making sandcastles.
While at the beach, visit Adrian’s corner where you can grab a packet of crisps and a soft drink. The place next door to Adrian’s rents out chairs and umbrellas for optimal sun catching.

Top quality
From the moment we arrived in Barbados all the arrangements that had been put in place happened seamlessly. The fast track through the airport, the transfer to the villa, a welcome from Asmara, Diana and Mania and a quick tour around the villa itself. The car hire arrived on time and all excursions were organised by the host very efficiently and were of top quality. I couldn’t recommend the team highly enough. Tim and family
