Golden Platinum Coast sunsets stream over the plunge pool and light up coral-stone walls at this classic Caribbean penthouse on the western shores of Barbados. The views over Paynes Bay Beach are panoramic; the central great room, open concept and airy beneath its tray ceiling. You’ll hardly need to put on sandals for the walk downstairs from this fully staffed villa to the sandy beach.

Have a swim in the villa’s private plunge pool, the building’s shared pool, or the calm waters just off the beach, where you might even spot sea turtles while snorkeling. A beach butler is available to serve cocktails on the beach, or you can treat yourself with fresh seafood from the barbecue, served at the alfresco dining table on the villa’s terrace. After sunset, play shuffleboard with friends and family, watch TV, put an album on the Sonos sound system, and share holiday photos over Wi-Fi.

There’s little to separate the outdoor living areas from the indoor great room save a glass wall, so you can hear the ocean and feel the breeze while stretched out in the sitting area or playing shuffleboard. A separate kitchen is fully equipped and has an inviting breakfast bar.

Each of the 4 bedrooms at this luxury property has a king bed, ensuite bathroom, and air conditioning; 2 of the bedrooms also open to ocean-view balconies. Tray ceilings, creamy stone floors, and white bedding give the bedrooms a breezy, beachy vibe, while details like sunburst mirrors add a little modern edge.

A stay at this vacation rental gives you near-direct access to Paynes Bay Beach, a sandy stretch that’s great for swimming, honeymoon-style strolls, and the occasional celeb spotting. It’s a short drive to the beach at exclusive Sandy Lane, as well as the resort’s two golf courses, Old Nine and Green Monkey.
