Overview
Villa Daiquiri is a striking example of elegance, class and style, executed with flawless attention to detail - luxurious but not pretentious, on a special beach-side spot where the Atlantic Ocean flirts with the Caribbean Sea.
This architect designed plantation style home is a far cry from an anonymous holiday rental; it blends designer verve with Caribbean ease and European elegance to create something unique. Larry Warren, a key player in the island’s property development, (who helped design the legendary Sandy Lane estate), finished this home with a charismatic touch.
At immediate glance, guests will know they are in for a treat at Villa Daiquiri. The glamorous facade features olive-toned lattice fretwork framing the cloistered colonial style verandas and balconies, within a securely gated enclave. With views across Mullins beach, the soft trade winds rustling in the palms, guests will be able to dine in style at the pretty timber pillared dining pavilion, or recline in the ever-so elegant ‘orangery’ style indoor-outdoor dining room for afternoon tea.
Villa Daiquiri epitomises understated luxury and impeccable taste, with all the hallmarks of quality throughout raw materials and spatial design. When lit at night, the gardens and poolside create a mystical atmosphere - blending fragrant plants, the strikingly beautiful low-hanging candelabra and tranquility for a little slice of magic. The interiors at this dazzling abode are brimming with genteel, colonial refinement - grown up glamour and daring designer touches are executed within such graceful style. The living space offers many sub divided areas, plush fabrics, recessed alcoves and marble flooring whilst the kitchen is a sleek, state-of-the-art affair
The handsome bedrooms are offset with large Art-deco style windows and ample use of natural timber; the classical and timeless allure of this home is offset by surprising twists such as the free-standing cherry timber bath in the centre of the bathroom. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, this home is optimal for a group or large family, and offers unlimited entertainment potential with its large spaces and three discreet staff members on hand.
The romantic quality of this home runs throughout, from the garden room bedroom next to the lagoon pool, to the ornate decorative touches. With all the contemporary touches in place, Villa Daiquiri doesn’t miss a beat: Sonos sound, designer kitchen, television in each bedroom, air-conditioning, wi-fi and cable.
Villa Daiquiri is a style lover’s paradise, it seamlessly blends the most tasteful of interiors with local flavour and unparalleled gardens which gently lead down to one of the island’s finest beaches - a combination that is very hard to beat!
What you should know…
- The closest amenities are a short drive away
- The villa features marble flooring and stairs and so those travelling with small children should ensure they take care

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa DaiquiriVilla Daiquiri is in one of the most sought-after parts of the spectacular West Coast of Barbados, with panoramic views of the meeting point between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean; named the “platinum coast,” this stretch is known for its clear, turquoise waters and fine sands.
This stunning home is nestled right on the beachfront overlooking Mullins Bay, one of the region’s best known beaches, within close proximity to the well-heeled Royal Westmoreland Golf course (3.7 km). Whilst guests can enjoy unadulterated tranquillity, with the sounds of the sea all around, in a tropical oasis of palms and bougainvillea, this beautiful spot is nestled with close access to some of the most colourful and intriguing towns that Barbados has to offer: Speightown (1.8 km) and Holetown (5.6 km.)
Mullins Beach is one of the most popular beaches on the west coast - visitors can recline in the shade of a casuarina tree and grab a drink or enjoy a romantic sunset dinner at the beach bar.
Nearby Speightstown 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 (17.1 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.
Holetown 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.
Barbados is a place of contrasts, from movie-star hedonism to cane-cutting village life and artisanal fare; from fishing villages to dramatic, rugged Atlantic coastlines - visitors will enjoy a vivacious diversity within a very accessibly-sized island. A unique blend of vibrant, local life and colonial-influenced afternoon teas alongside cricket matches on the green!

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 AgesVilla Daiquiri offers a fairytale paradise for youngsters, whilst being incredibly safe and secure, with security staff and house staff so parents can rest assured. The pool can be made secure for young children with a wrap-around pool protector, whilst the outdoor spaces are a tropical oasis of discovery. Mullins Beach, at the end of the garden, is considered one of the most family-friendly beaches Barbados has to offer. With tranquil seas and long sandy stretches for sand-castle building, adults will enjoy rum punch from their rented parasols whilst older kids can try water sports.
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.
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. Folkestone Marine and Visitor Centre in Holetown offers a fantastic museum and beginners snorkelling.
