Galena Barbados

Galena is a beautifully spacious holiday home that’s part of the exclusive Sandy Lane Estate club and which has spectacular views of both the Caribbean Sea and the famous Sandy Lane Golf Course.
The extensive grounds include manicured lawns and patios from where you can take in the wonderful views and soak up the tropical atmosphere. The inside of Galena is just as beautiful, with its tastefully designed and furnished rooms that reflect the laidback surroundings.
There’s a feeling of light and space everywhere you go in this stunning villa. The formal living room is a lovely place to unwind with a book or chat with friends or family. Enjoy the Caribbean breeze as it enters through the numerous doors to the stunning, partially-covered dining and seating terrace. The dining table lets several people enjoy a breakfast with a pretty unbeatable view. There’s a modern and well-equipped kitchen with everything needed for meal preparation and cooking, as well as an island for grabbing a quick coffee in the mornings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cosy television room with a selection of sofas and chairs for enjoying family movie night. You can also access the outside space from this room.
The four bedrooms all have an ensuite bathroom each and a king size bed or two twins that can be made into a king size bed. The fourth bedroom features two single beds. The views from the bedrooms are fantastic, with the sea in sight from many of them.
Step outside into the extensive gardens that are like your very own slice of tropical paradise, with a range of exotic trees and plants to enjoy. Spend lazy afternoons under a shady tree with a book and appreciate the peace and quiet. The star of the show is the huge, private swimming pool set within a terrace that’s also home to some sun loungers and a small dining area.If you want to enjoy an evening meal out, you have your pick of restaurants serving delicious local and international food. There’s also a good choice of shops and supermarkets for stocking up on groceries and other essentials.
Galena has all the benefits that come with being part of the Sandy Lane Estate. These include exclusive beach club facilities with your own private cabana, sun loungers and umbrellas. Take the short walk down to Sandy Lane Beach and you’ll be greeted by beautiful golden sand and calm waters that are ideal for both swimming and snorkelling.
Head to Holetown for an enjoyable day out, with the journey there taking less than 10 minutes by car. Here you’ll find an even greater selection of shops and the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre with its upmarket outlets.
Speightstown is around 20 minutes away from Galena and offers a mix of history, culture and art. The highlights here are Arlington House Museum and the Gallery of Caribbean Art. You can also relax on several sandy stretches, if you want to compare them to the ones that are close to your holiday home!
For a serious dose of history, drive around 25 minutes south to Barbados’ capital of Bridgetown. It’s full of fascinating sites and buildings to explore, including National Heroes Square, the Parliament Buildings, the Barbados Museum, a 17th-century garrison and a horseracing track. You can also indulge in some retail therapy here, as there are many duty free shops and upmarket to be found throughout the city.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
