Wake up at the break of dawn and enjoy a unique sunrise on the fabulous beachfront terrace. Take the steps to the sands below and go for an early morning swim on Mullins Beach, with turquoise crystalline waters and not another soul around.
Make sure you fill up with a delicious breakfast prepared by the staff on site before heading to the pool, set in tropical gardens, to relax with the latest page-turning paperback.
Get ready for a peaceful walk along the golden sands to try some watersports on Mullins Beach and then enjoy lunch at the Lone Star restaurant – perhaps opt for a salad, the grilled catch of the day with butternut squash risotto, or a classic burger with hand-cut chips.
Visit Speightstown, the second-largest town in Barbados also known as Little Bristol, for a little diving to see colourful corals, tube and barrel sponges, and a sunken freighter off the shore, the Pamir. Then head back to your Caribbean villa for an afternoon snooze before appreciating the breath-taking sunset spotting turtles and dolphins.
Prepare for a pre-dinner rum punch on the terrace whilst gazing out to the immensity of the Caribbean Sea.
Finally, savour a candlelit dinner beneath a wooden gazebo prepared by the chef, the icing on the cake of an unforgettable day on true paradise.
When to go
Like the rest of the Caribbean, Barbados is a pleasant temperature all year round at an average of 27 degrees.
Peak season is generally between December to April which is also the driest time of year. Barbados has over 3,000 hours of sunshine each year!
