Shades of Cyan

Shades of Cyan: Saint James

As you stand at the water's edge of the private infinity pool, you won't know whether to dive in or just take in the breathtaking views. The manicured green fairways roll gently to the horizon where you can enjoy a glimpse of the turquoise waters of the West Coast of Barbados – and this just scratches the surface of this villa's beauty. Slide open the patio doors to let the gentle breeze inside and you will be spoilt for choice as to where to enjoy your afternoon glass of wine. When it comes to dining, our favourite spot is alfresco on the poolside patio which is washed in a tropical ambience. You can practice your culinary skills in the Italian-designed kitchen, where the stainless steel appliances and marble countertops are a little touch of luxury.

Spend your days enjoying the first-class recreational facilities on your doorstep. For relaxation, the spa may tickle your fancy while others may prefer a rigorous game of tennis. Either way, there is plenty to fill the days. When you are ready to retire to bed, do so after a bubble bath in your luxurious bathroom. Enjoy your morning coffee soaking up the Caribbean sun from the sprawling balcony. Comfort and beauty perfectly sum up this wonderful villa.
