Unveil a Tropical Paradise at One Beachlands in Barbados – Elite Traveler

As the mercury drops to a new low and my fingers threaten to seize up from the cold, there’s no denying it – winter is here in full force. Across the Northern Hemisphere, the biting chill has settled in, and while some embrace the frosty charm of the season, others (like us) are already dreaming of somewhere warmer, sunnier and far less frozen.

If I listen closely enough, I can almost hear it: the Caribbean is calling. The rhythm of calypso floats on the breeze, the warmth of the sun feels just out of reach and the whisper of waves crashing on soft white shores is too tempting to resist. (That is, if our fingers don’t fall off from frostbite before we manage to book the next flight out.) In the depths of winter, no place beckons quite like Barbados.

But for the lucky recipient – who happens to have $25m lying around – this doesn’t have to remain a sun-soaked daydream. One Beachlands, a magnificent six-bedroom, beachfront villa on Barbados’s exclusive West Coast, is a golden opportunity to make tropical luxury a year-round reality.

Brought to market by One Caribbean Estates, this Holetown gem is the epitome of island elegance, with its breezy indoor-outdoor design stretching across 12,000 sq-ft of pure paradise. Spread over two stories, the villa blends modern sophistication with that irresistible Caribbean charm. It’s no wonder this mansion has caught the eye of some high-profile renters – rumor has it even Simon Cowell couldn’t resist its allure. And after just one look, can you blame him?

Stepping inside One Beachlands, the first thing you’ll notice is the seamless indoor-outdoor design that invites the Caribbean breeze to dance through every corner of the home. The expansive living area is flooded with natural light, thanks to full-height windows that frame the endless blue of the Caribbean Sea. With plenty of plush seating and four ceiling fans swirling gently above, this space strikes the perfect balance between coastal comfort and luxe sophistication.

The heart of the home, though, is the chef’s kitchen. With its sleek stone flooring, a giant marble island and luxury appliances, including a Wolf gas-range stove and three Sub-Zero refrigerators, this kitchen is designed for both casual meals and gourmet feasts. The kitchen opens out to breathtaking ocean views, making it the perfect backdrop for cooking or entertaining, meanwhile, the adjacent formal dining room ensures every meal feels like a special occasion.

The villa’s six ocean-facing bedrooms are a sanctuary of serenity, each one offering panoramic views of the sea and its own luxurious ensuite bathroom. Spacious and bathed in natural light, these rooms make the perfect retreat after a day spent by the pool or exploring the island. The primary suite, located on the upper level, is especially expansive, offering the ultimate in privacy and comfort, with sliding doors that open directly onto a private terrace overlooking the water.

Beyond the main living spaces, the villa is designed for ultimate relaxation and entertainment. A private home cinema is ready for cozy movie nights, while the ocean-facing gym lets you stay fit without missing a single sunset.

The piece de resistance, though, is the 75-ft infinity pool, stretching out towards the horizon as if merging with the sea itself. Flanked by two pavilions, it’s the perfect spot to unwind, whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or enjoying a quiet moment of solitude. And just beyond the manicured garden, a private pathway leads directly to the inviting Caribbean waters, where snorkeling adventures await​​.
