Boasting a truly enviable location on the desirable west coast of Barbados, Westhaven is mere steps away from the pale warm sands and glittering azure waves of Gibbs Bay Beach. The wide balcony provides an excellent vantage point for admiring spectacular ocean views, the vast ever-changing horizon stretching out before you.

Many windows line the walls of Westhaven, filling each room with gorgeous natural sunlight. Inside, you’ll find soft contemporary furnishings, the warm neutral colour palette creating a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere. Outside, the shimmering aquamarine pool is surrounded by sun loungers and immaculately kept lawns – also of note is the decadent outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach or a swim in the pool.

Westhaven is a short drive from the historic town of Speightstown, where you’ll find excellent restaurants, the Gallery of Caribbean Art, and the interactive museum of Arlington House. Those who enjoy long walks will want to venture further north to the lovely Mullins Beach. Come evening, let your chef prepare you a delectable feast and dine al fresco as the sun sets.

Westhaven offers four exquisitely furnished bedrooms each complete with an ensuite bathroom, making it the ideal holiday destination for families or groups of friends longing for authentic beachfront living. Two twin beds are well suited to younger guests, but you may also have them pushed together to create a king-sized bed. In every suite, light streams in through the wide doors that lead out to the balconies and breathtaking sea vistas.
