Nestled within an immaculately landscaped tropical garden on the stunning west coast of Barbados, Oceana rests in the exclusive gated community of Sugar Hill. From the balcony, guests can admire breathtaking views over the lush greenery, across the glittering cerulean ocean and out towards the vast ever-changing horizon beyond.

Overflowing with Caribbean charm, the villa’s wide doors and use of natural materials – coral stone walls, wood furnishings – create a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor living; vibrant patterns and colours feature throughout, reflecting the vivid hues of the garden. The living room opens onto the covered terrace and the sun-kissed deck, where you may curl up with a good book, lie back on a soft sun lounger, or swim lengths of the gorgeous pool, as you wish.

Show off your skills in the communal tennis courts, or walk down to the pristine sands of the Royal Westmoreland Beach Club; guests also have access to the spa at Mullins Bay. Come evening, Oceana’s chef will prepare a delectable feast for you to enjoy al fresco – the dining room is truly grand with its cathedral-like ceilings, cocktail bar and black granite dining table. Head up the stately tower and gaze out over the spectacular sunset for a magical end to your day.

The four bedrooms are flooded with natural light and come complete with ensuite bathrooms, making Oceana perfect for families or groups of friends yearning for an island retreat like no other. One suite rests in a separate guest cottage, ideal for those who desire a little extra seclusion.
