Property Description
St Helena is not only one of the iconic beachfront houses in Barbados; it is also one of our teams and our Villas Barbados’ guest’s favourite villas. St Helena is an 8 bedroom beach front villa with private pool and stunning gardens sleeping up to 16 people. The main house has 5 bedrooms accommodating up to 10 and the guest house which is a large standalone villa has three bedrooms sleeping up to 6 people.
We absolutely love the feel and style of St Helena. This luxury Barbados vacation rental has a classic colonial style yet is also extremely luxurious. The villa has been recently refurbished and there is almost a luxury Hampton feel to St Helena. The villa is absolutely immaculate with wonderful attention to detail throughout.
The entrance to the villa is impressive with huge electric gates leading to a courtyard with extensive gardens. The main door opens directly to the living area which in turns flows seamlessly to the outdoor terrace, gardens and beach. The main sitting room is very spacious and has two distinct areas. One for relaxing and chatting amongst friends and family and the second area doubles as a television room.
One of our favourite spots in the villa is the outdoor gazebo which is located directly beside the sea. Many of our guest love to enjoy breakfast, afternoon tea and sundowners in this spot. St Helena also has a unique aviary in the gardens. This aviary houses 250 homing budgerigars. It is the only one in a private villa on the island of Barbados. One of the luxuries of waking up in St Helena is hearing the sounds of the waves lapping on the shore combined with the sounds of happy birds chirping in the mornings in this tropical paradise.
The pool and the gardens at St Helena are also worth special attention. The gardens are beautifully maintained and full of wonderfully smelling tropical flowers and shrubs. The pool is very large and is good for both proper swimming or just for a relaxing cooling dip. The deck around the pool is partly covered and has a beautiful fountain feature which has been hand carved from natural Barbados stone. There is a heated Jacuzzi in the gardens which our guests love to use especially at night time. It is a place to spend many happy hours under the stars whilst chatting to friends and family. In addition there is a really fabulous barbeque area and the team at St Helena can organise a wonderful occasion barbeque evening.
The accommodation in St Helena is split between 5 bedrooms in the main house and three in the guest cottage. The main house has three bedrooms located upstairs including the master suite. All the bedrooms are lovely but the master suite is particularly special. It features a King sized double bed with a luxurious canopy. It is very spacious with a separate living room with its own office area. This special room is named the Napoleon Room. In addition there is a very large bathroom off the Master bedroom with bath and separate shower. All three bedrooms on the first floor open to a spectacular semi-circular veranda which has a lovely sitting area, bar and fabulous views of the gardens and turquoise sea.
The guest cottage at St Helena has the feel of separate standalone villa. There is a fully equipped kitchen, living area and terrace with pool views. The Master bedroom and a twin bedroom are located on the first floor with sea views. These two bedrooms shared a balcony and have lovely pool and sea views. The third twin bedded room is located on the ground floor of the guest cottage and has direct access to the pool area. The décor of the guest cottage is luxurious with lovely pops of aqua colour.
One of the additional unique features of St Helena is that there is a speed boat available to guests. When you book with Villas Barbados, you will receive one hour’s complimentary use of the speed boat each day.
St Helena is unique in Barbados in that all its bedrooms are of equal standard. It offers great flexibility and is a perfect choice for a small wedding, special anniversary, birthday party or a multi generational family get together.
