Cassia 21 – Cinquelle Barbados

Cassia No.21 is one in a small cluster of villas set on a bluff with panoramic views over the 18th green, and the enchanting sun kissed Caribbean Sea. This luxury Barbados Golf Villa is located in the exclusive gated community at Royal Westmoreland. This well appointed villa has 2 large bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. Royal Westmoreland is a golfer’s paradise, with other options including: tennis, working up a sweat in the fully equipped gym and being pampered from head to toe by trained masseurs and aestheticians. The Sanctuary facility also includes a large freeform swimming pool and whirlpool. A more authentic Caribbean beach experience can be achieved by taking a short 5 minute drive to one of the charming west coast beaches. This privately owned villa is in immaculate condition and is fully equipped with the highest standard appliances for efficiency and comfort. Its comfort is paralleled to its beauty with its exquisite decor and crisp Caribbean accents. A maid/laundress who can prepare breakfast and lunch if desired. This villa is located on the 480-acre resort community at Westmoreland in St. James; in a prime location sitting 1.5 miles away from the popular Holetown supermarkets and shopping district. Its close proximity to some of the finest places to dine on the west coast must be counted as a great attribute. It is also approximately 8 miles from the capital “Bridgetown” and 20 miles from the airport. The entire community has twenty-four hour roving security guards. Airport transfers can be arranged, as can local car rentals. Preferential rates can also be obtained for scheduled flights to Barbados.Barbados is a truly phenomenal holiday destination, and geologically unique; a coral island, initially pushed from the sea as two separate land masses by volcanic activity many years ago. Over time these two land masses merged together creating the isle we now know as Barbados. Barbados lies on the boundary of the Caribbean and South American continental plates making it unlike any other Caribbean Island. Within the core of the island, made up mainly of coral sediment, numerous caves and underground lakes can be found. Arguably the most famous of these is Harrison’s Cave; a network of caves, waterfalls, pools and fantastic stalagmites and stalactites.
Descendants of the indigenous Arawakan-speaking tribes tell that the original name for Barbados was ‘Ichirouganaim’ meaning ‘red land with white teeth.’ The reason for the later name Barbados is controversial; some believe that the Portuguese, en route to Brazil, were the first Europeans to come to the island. Others say that it was this Spanish which gave it the Spanish name ‘Los Barbudos’.  The word Barbados means ‘bearded ones’ but it is really personal preference as to whether ‘bearded’ refers to the long, hanging routes of the bearded fig-tree (Ficus citrifolia) indigenous to the island; to the allegedly bearded ‘Caribs’ who once inhabited the island; or, more romantically, to the foam spraying over the outlying reefs, giving the impression of a beard.
When visiting Barbados, the first thing you are sure to notice are the gorgeous and renowned flat white sand beaches. On the west coast of Barbados, miles of coral shore beaches and fine white sands stretch along a hypnotising turquoise sea. The West Coast of Barbados is also fringed with countless breath-taking Coral Reefs to provide excellent snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities. The South Coast also offers something for everyone, and is a curious mixture of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Here you can swim in calm waters, snorkel over the inshore reefs and tidal pools, and at the southernmost tip of the island, you can windsurf.
The East Coast of Barbados has fantastic and lively surfing opportunities, blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds; the constant breeze of these trade winds give Barbados its mild and pleasant tropical climate. Along the east coast, huge Atlantic waves crash along the shore and so the beaches are better suited for walks and sun-bathing, with a few enchanting places to have a dip in the sea – as the waves break over rocks and reefs, small pools are formed close to shore forming delightful natural swimming pools!
Inland Barbados is delightful to explore, enchantingly quiet and rural, there are endless fields of sugar cane dotted with old plantation houses. Barbados has a rich and interesting history and has preserved and restored many of its historic buildings – you can visit a plantation house for a trip back in time, see the towering lighthouses that once led ships to safety, or explore the historic towns that are an important part of the island’s past and present.
Whilst on Barbados, a taste of the island’s rum is a must! The isle has been producing rum for over 350 years, and it is recognised internationally for its quality. Many tours and taste sessions are available at the local distilleries.
