Located on Cooper Hill on the exclusive Sandy Lane Estate on Barbados, this enchanting 8-bedroom, ridge-front villa has far-reaching views over the golf course to the Caribbean Sea. Combining traditional charm with a contemporary comfort, villa Bohemia is styled on a traditional Barbadian Plantation House, with wide, wrap-around terraces and elegant architectural symmetry. Interiors are light but include vibrant touches of colour and ornamentation, in-keeping with the Caribbean spirit.
On arrival formal gates open to reveal a palm-lined driveway surrounded with neat, tropical gardens. Grand reception rooms including a high-ceilinged entrance hall provide a sense of cool airiness and light space, which continues with an open plan kitchen and formal dining room with a locally crafted mahogany table.
Bohemia accommodates up to ten guests in the main house, with five spacious bedrooms, including two exceptional master suites with shower and bathtubs. Otherwise, each bedroom has an ensuite shower room, equipped with luxury toiletries.
A separate “Dome” cottage in the grounds has a large bedroom, walk-in closets, marble floors, and a rain shower. In addition, two further bedrooms perfect for staff, teenagers, or nannies are located by the pool garden.
Outdoor space includes a main terrace with shade, furnished for dining, entertaining or relaxation, beyond which steps lead down to a large 15m swimming pool, with infinity edge overlooking neatly tended gardens to the dazzling waters of the Caribbean Sea.
The villa comes with a full staff, including chef and housekeeping service. Guests also receive complimentary membership to the Sandy Lane villa owners’ private beach.
