Sandalwood House Barbados
Holiday Home Rental Description
On the beautiful Sandy Lane Estate near Holetown, Sandalwood House is the perfect place to discover Barbados’ glamorous Saint James district. Sitting in more than one acre of landscaped grounds filled with many types of plants of palm trees, this villa enjoys verdant surroundings and easy access to the private Sandy Lane Beach, with use of a cabana and sun loungers included.
Sandalwood House has a wonderful pool and terrace right outside, where you will find a gazebo offering a shaded seating area that’s full of charm. In addition to the pool, there’s a separate hot tub a few steps away, a lovely place to unwind at the end of a day’s exploring.
The open, covered terrace provides the ideal spot to enjoy dinner together or curl up with a book on the sofa, and it’s super-comfortable and well furnished too. Inside, you have a large living area with satellite television, and a magnificently presented kitchen which has lots of space to gather around its central island, as well as direct access outside.
Each of the four bedrooms in the main house is air-conditioned for extra comfort, and has its own en suite bathroom – you have three upstairs and one downstairs, along with another bathroom usefully located near the pool. In the grounds, you have a separate, self-contained cottage, offering not just another two en-suite bedrooms, but its own kitchen, living area and plunge pool by the patio.
An experienced team of staff, including a butler, cook and housekeeper will be on hand to keep everything running smoothly, making a stay at Sandalwood House a truly relaxing experience. The villa is in an excellent location – not just close to the beach, but all of the entertainment and excitement of Holetown too. With unforgettable dining at the ocean’s edge, high-end shopping and great nightlife, it’s the place to be in stunning Saint James.On the upscale west coast of Barbados, the Saint James parish is known with good reason as the island’s ‘platinum coast’. Aside from being a celebrity hangout, the area is famed for its beautiful white sand beaches, various golf courses and excellent dining options, as well as luxury brand shopping.
One of the area’s main towns, Holetown, is a good place to get acquainted with what Saint James has to offer. The Limegrove Lifestyle Centre brings shopping and entertainment together, with dozens of high-end stores, a multi-screen cinema and regular live events, from music concerts to art shows and craft fairs, while colourful Chattel village sets its shops in scenic tropical gardens.
The beachfront walks are another highlight, and particularly spectacular if you happen to be there at sunset. Eateries like Zaccios and Tides occupy some of the prime ocean-view locations, and with views like those, chances are you will want to try them out.
Holetown’s big annual event comes around each February – the Holetown Festival is a commemoration of the first settlement on the island in 1627. It’s a broad and lively celebration, encompassing everything from fashion shows and beauty contests to vintage car parades, sporting events and a Police Tattoo, and it’s a great opportunity to sample Bajan delights like macaroni pie and Barbados rum.
The town is also a centre for nightlife, concentrated mainly on Holetown’s First and Second Streets. Cool hangouts like the Red Door Lounge prove that Barbadians know how to party, and are very happy for you to join them. Head south of the town and a string of stunning beaches like Sandy Lane and Payne’s Bay await you, and it won’t be long until you find yourself in Bridgetown – the historic capital city is just 11km from Holetown.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
