Ariel's Hideaway

Situated directly on the beach, this villa in Reeds Bay is a dream come true. You couldn't ask for a better location – not only is the ocean just steps away but there are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance when you fancy a night on the town. Holetown and Speightstown are also less than a ten-minute drive, so you're spoilt for choice. That said, it'll be hard to tear yourself away from your private oasis. Spend your days sunbathing in the beachfront garden, swimming in the clear blue ocean, cooling off in the plunge pool or unwinding on the shady terrace or balconies with a cocktail and a good book. Inside, it's bright and breezy. Even when you're lounging on the cushy sofas, that Caribbean Sea view is there to admire. Though some may find the 'under the sea'-inspired design a little too on-the-nose, we think it's a whimsical way to embrace the stunning oceanfront location. And the best part? You don't even have to worry about cooking, as a home chef will prepare three meals a day for you. Now that's a holiday.
