An exceptional example of colonial grandeur, Fustic House is tucked away on an exclusive 11-acre estate in St Lucy, Barbados. Perched on a coral ridge and surrounded by lush tropical lawns and gardens, guests can enjoy complete privacy and seclusion during their stay. Should you wish to explore the nearby towns and villages, the bustle of Speightstown is just a short five-minute drive away.

Originally built in the mid-18th-century and re-imagined by esteemed architect Oliver Messel in the 1970s, Fustic House combines old-world design with contemporary accents throughout. Fustic House comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests; a master suite and twin room can be found in the main house, the Messel Wing and Plantation Wing both contain two bedrooms each, and the separate Pavilion, with its kitchenette and outdoor shower, also contains an additional bedroom suite. The master suite, in particular, boasts two private covered terraces with exceptional coastal views. Each room benefits from its own private ensuite bathroom.

The beauty of Fustic House extends into the outdoor living spaces; from its glittering lagoon-shaped pool set into the natural rock to the lotus lake thriving with koi fish. Beautifully maintained by the owners, who are keen horticulturists, wandering through the gardens is an absolute delight to the senses. For those who love nothing more than basking in warm shine, the spacious sundeck built over the ravine is the ultimate spot.

Whether you are looking to explore the natural beauty of the island or spend the week relaxing in a secluded tropical sanctuary, Fustic House is the perfect choice for unforgettable family holidays and special occasions.
