Description


Welcome to Westhaven, a luxurious 4-bedroom beachfront villa located on the wonderful calm waters from Gibbs Beach on the West Coast of Barbados. Gibbs Beach is a lovely sandy beach and is decorated with lush greenery and tropical flora.

The beach is great for safe swimming and also here you can enjoy many water sporting activities such as water skiing, banana boat rides, and parasailing. Hobie cat sailing boats can also be rented.

This luxury 4-bedroom villa is comprised of two stories offering stunning views of the azure ocean. The location is ideal as you are equidistance from both Holetown and Speightstown. A mere 5 minutes away is the historic little town of Speightstown – with the most delightful and casual restaurants tempting visitors with their authentic Caribbean cuisine and sea vistas.

Don’t forget to check out the Gallery of Caribbean Art and Arlington House - a 'must see' interactive museum with audio-visual features of 'Old Barbados'.

Holetown in Barbados offers a wonderful array of delicious restaurants and bakeries as well as being the top place for shopping in Barbados. The Chattel Village is an extremely popular shopping village, which is located on the west coast side of Holetown and has a colorful collection of wonderful shops from gifts to gourmet and clothes.

All the shops lie along streets dotted with wonderfully vivid flowers and tropical shrubs that will certainly put you in a vibrant mood.

The villa has a splendid manicured garden which leads you through a gateway opening onto the pool deck with a gorgeous view of the sea. The shimmering pools are surrounded by sun loungers – perfect for enjoying the afternoon sunshine or just relaxing by the pool and reading a book. Sun loungers can be taken down to the seashore through private direct access to the beach.

Serene, crystal waters beckon you to swim, snorkel, and take advantage of several water sports activities. Gibbs Beach meets Mullins Beach to the north allowing for romantic strolls or brisk walks.

For entertainment, the comfortable living room on the ground floor is outfitted with a flat-screen television, complete with cable. This area opens onto the expansive patio – just the spot for sipping cocktails while admiring a superb sunset.

The kitchen’s large window opens outwards to the dining area, making it convenient to serve meals, snacks, and refreshing beverages throughout the day. Even partake of a scrumptious meal on the pool deck al fresco - prepared by the villa’s chef.

The bedrooms - which have outdoor patios, air-conditioning, and en suite bathrooms – are all located on the first floor except for one situated on the ground level. The master – also equipped with cable television - and 2nd bedroom suite share a balcony overlooking a magnificent view of Gibbs Bay.

Westhaven is a beautiful spot. The view, rooms, layout are great for particularly groups of 5 - 8. The key though is the staff - BRILLIANT. Cheryl, Angela, Margaret and Justin are simply the BEST I have ever seen. As I said in the guest book - family.

You are an excellent team and I could not have wanted for more.
You are an excellent team and I could not have wanted for more.

Dear Linda and Julie, Our feet are firmly on British soil having had a very special holiday at Westhaven with our friends.our children and our grandchildren. It is true to say that without the huge backup we received from you both before the holiday and during it many things would have gone wrong and we would have been much less relaxed. Whether booking the car (which was difficult enough),giving us full local information, arranging restaurants etc.etc etc you could not have made it easier for us or more enjoyable. I cannot remember a time when I did not receive a reply to an email or query within a few minutes of sending it and this included New Years Eve when you, Linda, were just off to a party!!! Many replies were at GMT bedtime such that I wondered where you were only to learn it was Ireland!! The same applied to you. Julie, and I dont think you missed a trick! Interestingly, your very quick response landed the booking in the first place because my original enquiry went to three agents and you were by far the quickest off the mark. You are an excellent team and I could not have wanted for more. Thank you both. Your help and efficiency extended to viewing villas for next year. Undoubtedly we will return and we have a list of the villas we would like to take to take. Again, because of your enthusiasm and help we will rent through you and only you. The friends who joined us wanted us to share with them next year and we have declined in favour of going East. However,they may well ask us our views on villas so hopefully you will get some sort of result from your hard work. With kindest regards, Robert
