About the villa
Encompassing five thousand square feet of luxury, this exceptional villa was designed by London architect Harper Downie, and is furnished in elegant Indonesian style, complemented with Burmese teak floors, Portuguese limestone and Balinese art. Beautifully balancing the indoor/outdoor lifestyle of the tropics, the villa’s ground floor is an expansive open-plan space, combining sitting, dining and media areas, and opening on to the furnished terrace which surrounds a fifteen metre infinity pool. The versatile design accommodates nine people in great comfort and total privacy, and special mention must be made of the master suite, which has an en suite shower room and an exotic outside bath in a private little courtyard. A Junior Master suite also has a second courtyard with a shower, and there are two other bedrooms with with ocean views on the first floor. Perfect for two families or a group of friends, cook service can be arranged for an extra cossetting touch.
Java Bay is within the gated Calijanda estate, which adjoins Sugar Hill and Royal Westmoreland. Guests do walk down to the beach (uphill on the way back!) adjacent to the Lone Star Hotel or drive to Gibbes Beach. The Villa Manager will be pleased to arrange grocery pre-stocking for the first night and give recommendations for restaurants and activities and arrange cook service. Golf, tennis, beaches and Holetown shops and restaurants are all just a few minutes away. With a loyal following of repeat guests, early booking for this distinctive property is recommended.

St James
Average weather
St. James parish runs along the central stretch of the island’s west—the Platinum Coast. Its white-sand beaches are backed by luxury hotels and villas including Sandy Lane, long patronized by royals and film stars. The seaside settlement of Holetown is at the centre of the parish: its bars, restaurants, and craft shops have a laid-back, local vibe. The Holetown Festival each February, one to catch on a St. James holiday, celebrates its status as the first British settlement on Barbados, with live music and a street fair.
