Why we love this villa

Unique Features

  • · Complimentary Water Sports

St. Helena is an exquisite villa in Barbados, crafted by the late Oliver Messel. It provides guests with a distinctive experience of traditional Colonial living in Barbados, complemented by modern luxury amenities.

Located on one of the finest beaches on Barbados' west coast, St. Helena offers a beachfront haven with pristine, calm waters and white sandy shores right at your doorstep.

The villa is elegantly furnished to ensure guests feel at home. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan living area that opens onto a covered dining patio with garden views extending to the Caribbean Sea. This level also includes two air-conditioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, an outdoor dining area, a pool deck, and a bar and entertainment space.

The pool deck is partially shaded, offering an ideal spot to relax with a cold drink and enjoy the refreshing Barbados breeze. There is plenty of seating, perfect for an afternoon tea or a game of cards after dinner.

Upstairs, the villa houses three beautifully decorated bedrooms and a sitting room. The bedrooms open onto a circular veranda equipped with a private bar, providing a perfect setting to unwind and admire the ocean views from the lounge chairs.

The oceanfront location of St. Helena offers excellent swimming conditions. Weather permitting, guests can swim out to 'the raft' to relax or sunbathe. The villa also includes a private speed boat, and guests enjoy one hour of complimentary water sports each day.

An additional cottage offers three more bedrooms—two upstairs and one downstairs—along with a sitting room, kitchen, TV, and a large patio overlooking the pool, making it ideal for larger groups or families.

Beyond this charming villa, the best of Barbados awaits. Our concierge team can arrange a personalized itinerary featuring activities such as horse racing at Garrison Savannah, swimming in the Animal Flower Cave pool, or snorkeling with sea turtles on the Cool Runnings Catamaran, ensuring a memorable vacation.
