Overview
Coral Blu is a vibrant home set within one of the most prestigious spots on the glittering west coast of Barbados. The Royal Westmoreland Golf Resort is an exclusive, star-studded gated enclave offering a world of fine dining, premium leisure facilities and world-class golfing. Staff services and pampering amid a backdrop of green undulating courses extend to the “platinum coast.”
Be prepared to enter a world of comfort and style at the Royal Westmoreland! Guests will leave behind the daily grind to indulge in a sumptuous environment of wellness, concierge arranged treats and delivered meals. This is the place to go, to ‘get away from it all.’
Pristine manicured grounds and round-the-clock security, as well as fitness centres, dining, spa, tennis and of course five star golfing nestle alongside one of the west coast’s finest beaches: Mullins Bay, where guests have access to the Beach Club.
Coral Blu is a delightful home with white-washed exterior and fresh, airy interiors offering a breezy, effortless backdrop for a holiday where every detail has been taken care of. The “upside down” layout makes for tranquil ground floor sleeping quarters, offering a leisurely stroll from bedroom to pool deck, and living quarters filled with light and glittering views of the Caribbean Sea.
Open plan living is executed with effortless panache at Coral Blu; the living space is chic and cosy with touches of classical colonial architecture, solid timber furnishing and natural interplay between indoor and outdoor living. Sauntering out to the upper terrace for a rum cocktail as the sun sets across the bay is about as good as it gets.
Graceful, yet informal, this home has an optimism to it, zingy lime green and turquoise accents offset the whites; there is dining for eight indoors, an impeccably equipped kitchen and stylish outdoor lounge and al fresco dining set alongside the pool.
The three bedrooms (each with a bathroom), provide restorative tranquillity within serenely executed spaces, cotton linens and a cooling retreat from the resort.
Coral Blu leaves no detail under-thought, within a relaxed yet luxurious setting, on one of the finest stretches of coast that Barbados has to offer.

Location
About the surrounding area of Coral Blu at Royal WestmorelandThe west coast of Barbados is a blend of exclusive and high end developments attracting a well-heeled, international jet-set, majestic beaches known informally as the “platinum” coast and intriguing local Bajan life blending with gracious, colonial architecture.
From the prestigious Westmoreland Golf Resort, guests can access an array of leisure activities, from fitness centre, to spa, to tennis, and of course world-class golfing. A shuttle bus takes guests to the nearby Mullins Beach where they also have access to the Clubhouse.
Water sports enthusiasts will be in their element, from sailing to snorkelling, jet-skiing to kite-surfing, Barbados has it all. One of the greatest delights of this island is boarding the sparkling waters for a catamaran cruise, along with a decadent buffet meal and drinks.
Holetown (only 5 km south) will offer a slice of local Bajan life. The Chattel village is a melting pot of artisans, offering local crafts, art and jewellery. The Chattel houses provide a striking contrast to the colonial residences with their dazzling white coral facades and open verandas; the former are vividly coloured with fancy gables and gingerbread fretwork. The Chattel houses date back to plantation days; the small wooden shacks were designed to be movable, yet this didn’t limit their decorative charm; finished in candy pinks and pistachio greens with pretty shutters and sloping roofs.
Speightstown (5.7 km distance) is also known as “little Bristol” - this town offers evocative local life, fisherman casting their catch on the jetty, a distinctly nautical feel along with street vendors and eclectic dining options. The island’s capital, Bridgetown (14 km distance) is known for its British colonial architecture and historical sites blending with colourful shopping, an abundance of sea based activities and UNESCO world heritage status.

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 AgesCoral Blu is an ideal base for a family; within a safe and secure gated community, and an array of on-site amenities, parents can rest in the knowledge that the whole family’s needs are taken care of.
Barbados offers so much for family travellers. At only 21 miles by 14 miles, with 60 miles of pristine coastline, days at the beach as a family are the centre of a Bajan holiday.
From intriguing caves, to mystical gardens, from vibrant street-fare to formal polo matches - genteel cricket matches and colourful street crafts, Barbados offers a unique experience for youngsters which will captivate small imaginations for years to come.
Coral Blu, on the west coast, offers proximity to some of the most child friendly beaches. Mullins Beach is a good option for kids with tranquil seas and long sandy stretches for sand-castle building whilst adults will enjoy rum punch from their rented parasols or older kids will indulge in water sports. Folkestone Marine and Visitor Centre in Holetown offers a fantastic museum and beginners snorkelling.
Harrison’s Cave offers a journey beneath the limestone surface that makes up much of the island - a mysterious 30 minute underground guided train trip taking in crystallised formations, intricate streams and awe-inspiring caverns. From collecting shells at the luscious Bathsheba Park, to a unique dining expense for the island’s traditional Friday night live music and fresh-off-the-docks flying fish, Barbados offers a vibrant, sensory experience for children.
Barbados offers a mystical experience for youngsters; one of the island’s traditions of swimming horses at dawn will leave exquisite memories for kids to cherish, and wildlife from tortoises to parrots to brocket deer will intrigue youngsters.
For older kids, Bridgetown offers several tours of intriguing shipwrecks, tropical fish and coral formations. Or, a combination of 4x4 jeep tour through tropical forest followed by a leisurely catamaran trip for a full family day out, finished up with sumptuous buffet at the end of the day.
