Pineapple Sugar

Featured in The Times’ Top 50 Caribbean Villas, this low-slung abode is not to be passed up. Surrounded by vibrant gardens, where pink bougainvillaea scale sun-bleached walls and if you’re lucky, where monkeys frolic on the lawns, this home is paradise indeed. Spend unhurried afternoons dozing on the loungers or swimming gentle laps in the saltwater pool as your in-house cook fries fresh fish on the outside grill. Gather around the alfresco dining table and enjoy rum-based concoctions mixed at the wet bar. A five-minute stroll to postcard-perfect Gibbes Beach completes the tropical island fantasy. While it feels like you couldn’t be further away from the hustle and bustle, you’re only a ten-minute drive from the historic Speightstown, home to a range of shopping and casual dining options.

Home truths:
*A car is recommended if you wish to visit Speightstown and beyond
*The beds in the second and third bedrooms can be turned into twins upon request—let your host know your preference when booking
