This four-bedroom luxury penthouse in Paynes Bay is part of an upscale condominium development just steps from the beach, and features views of the sea and plenty of space, making it one of our top beachfront villas in Barbados. An ideal gateway for travelers pursuing sun, culture, fine dining and shopping, the island of Barbados offers a vacation like no other.

Take time to enjoy the complex’s communal freeform swimming pool and tropical gardens, or if you wish to cool off in privacy, slip into the private plunge pool on the villa’s terrace—this space also features outdoor furniture, perfect for whiling away an evening with a glass of wine. Extra amenities include on-site staff like a cook, housekeeper and 24-hour security.

You’ll have exclusive access to this penthouse by an elevator with its own key, and once you step inside, you’ll see the home has been decorated with high-end finishes and furnishings throughout. The living room opens up to the terrace and features royal blue sofas, a chandelier hanging from a vaulted ceiling, ornate home accents and views of the ocean. Meanwhile, the colorful kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar.

Up to eight guests can comfortably stay in this villa’s four bedrooms, and children are also welcome. All bedrooms are individually decorated and offer air conditioning and a private en-suite bathroom. Two rooms boast king size beds while the remaining suites include two twins.

While staying here, you’ll be only steps away from the magnificent Paynes Bay beach, where you can choose to sunbathe on its golden sands on a lounge chair, go swimming with the turtles, or try out a new water sport. There’s world-class golfing greens nearby, as well as tennis courts, shopping and ocean-side restaurants.
