Overview
Villa Saccharum sits at the end of a shaded crescent fashioned private driveway. This impressive holiday villa provides its guests a comfortable and tranquil Bajan holiday experience. Modelled with features such as traditional terrazzo floors and a warm muted décor, with touches of colour to enhance its Caribbean milieu – this is certainly a suitable option for those families & friends who desire sophistication and class from their holiday.
Located at the centre of the villa, the entry foyer doubles as the inside living area. The wide French doors lead on to the covered patio where guests can relax with a cool Caribbean drink, or dine alfresco. It’s just steps to the large wooden deck surrounding the pool, where guests can enjoy comfortable lounge chairs just in case it is the sun rather than the shade they are looking for. A pathway leads from the patio, through the lovely gardens, to a second deck area at the beach edge. The beach deck features a small gazebo, and outdoor dining, at the same time enjoying the privacy offered by the low sea wall. For your convenience there are two gates that offer you direct access to the beach.
All bedrooms are air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms. The Master bedroom features a wet room in its en-suite bathroom, as well as direct access to the pool deck. The second and third bedrooms have direct access to the swimming pool area too, as well as connecting via the bathroom – a great option for parents and children. The fourth and final bedroom is located to the left of the entry foyer and offers guests the option of a twin bedroom.
An airy kitchen can be found to the left of the main atrium. It is fully equipped for all you dining needs and a cook can be arranged for those special evenings. From the French doors in the kitchen, guests are led on to the outdoor terrace so they can absorb all the prettiness of Villa Saccharum’s gardens.
Villa Saccharum is located on the famous Gibbs Beach, along the West Coast of Barbados. The villa is within walking distance of Mullins Beach, and is just a five-minute drive to Speightstown, where guests can enjoy shopping and casual dining options. Holetown is a fifteen-minute drive away, so you’re never too far from some activities.

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!
