Clinging to the western coastline of Barbados, New Mansion is a grand, elegant villa in an enviable beachfront position overlooking the brilliant blue bay. The modern coral stone home, run by a dedicated team of three full-time staff, is nestled on the exclusive West Coast. It sits amidst a private plot fringed with mature trees, creating a sheltered and peaceful oasis in the heart of bustling Paynes Bay.
The stylish home - decorated with a sophisticated but neutral palette and finished with traditional features like parquet floors and gilded mirrors - boasts an array of entertaining spaces and cosy corners to relax in. Guests can stay in four air-conditioned double bedrooms - three of which can transform into twin rooms, just perfect for a family - with ensuite bathrooms. The palatial master suite is adjoined by a kitchenette and opens out onto a sun-kissed balcony where guests can listen to the waves lapping against the shore while sipping coffee and tucking into a sweet breakfast of fresh island fruits.
Designed to be a haven of tranquillity, New Mansion is perfectly located for all of St James’ offerings. The beautiful home is just a 12-minute walk from the prestigious Sandy Lane Hotel, 1.5km from the world-famous Sandy Lane Golf Course and Country Club, and a 15-minute walk from Barbados Polo Club. Overlooking Paynes Bay - known as the Platinum Coast and renowned as one of the island’s best swimming spots - you can open the gate onto the golden beach and, in just a few soft, sandy steps, paddle your toes in the crystal clear Caribbean waters.
Cable TV is available in the poolside playroom; the perfect place for kids to relax after a busy day splashing around in the 20m crescent-shaped freshwater pool with a walkover bridge. By day, pull up a plush lounger and soak up the sunshine. By night, fire up the barbecue and draw back the white drapes to dine al fresco on the terrace beside the illuminated pool or enjoy a cool cocktail as the sun sinks below the horizon creating a spectacular explosion of colours across the sky.
