Nestled in the heart of the exclusive Sugar Hill community is this appealing six-bedroom, colonial-style villa. Half Century House is a magnificent private villa in Barbados that comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it the ideal choice for a family celebration. With breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and just a short distance from historic Holetown, Half Century House is the quintessential Barbadian escape in a secluded, gated community.

Holetown is an enchanting town that celebrates Barbados's history and natural wonders. It offers an enticing blend of culture and history, as well as a typically laid-back beach lifestyle. Visit Folkestone Marine Park to learn more about the unique Caribbean coral reefs that line the coast. Or spend some time strolling around Limegrove Lifestyle Centre, filled with boutiques and high-end stores selling exquisite jewellery.

Half Century House is divided into two, with the main villa housing three of the six bedrooms and the guest cottage the remaining three. This makes it a flexible Barbados villa rental for groups who may have family units that would like a little additional privacy. The interior of the main villa is a tasteful blend of old and new, contemporary and vintage, giving it lots of character and charm. The foyer leads to the main living area, with a sleek, well-equipped kitchen and a unique sunken living room that opens onto a broad, sunny terrace. Dining is either formal in the dining area or relaxed and al fresco on the terrace, depending on your mood. Your villa cook can create some wonderfully authentic Barbadian dishes for you to sample, all washed down with a potent rum punch.

The four bedrooms in the main villa are peaceful, serene spaces with uplifting views of the gardens and beach beyond. The primary suite and one of the guest rooms both have indulgent king-size beds, while the second guestroom has twin beds. All have attractive ensuites finished with spa-standard attention to detail. In the guest cottage, two of the guestrooms have king-size beds that can be converted into twins and a room with a cosy queen-size bed.

Outside, a pool sparkles in the sunlight, surrounded by restful recliners and shady umbrellas. Guests are just a few minutes walk from the resort's clubhouse and have beach access to the Fairmont Royal Pavilion and the Royal Westmoreland World Championship Golf Course. Your dedicated concierge can arrange teeing-off time slots for dedicated golfers.
