This spectacular architect-designed property, completed in 2012, is one of the most contemporary villas in Barbados. Set on half an acre of tropical gardens, and with room for up to eight guests, this gated property is a fabulous place to unwind and enjoy a memorable Caribbean holiday.

Atelier House sits on a ridge above the West Coast of Barbados, and the views across the treetops to the sea are spectacular – especially from the infinity pool or the panoramic roof terrace. This being the west coast, the sunset views are magical – enjoy a glass of rum punch as you watch the sun disappear over the horizon. When you’re not gazing out to sea, you’ll love the other outdoor spaces – perfect for sunbathing, dining, or simply sitting back with a good read.

Indoors, the dramatic double-height living area makes the most of the location, facing out across the pool area to the sea. There is great attention to detail everywhere you look, the sense of light and space accentuated by cool, simple furnishings and surfaces – such as the limestone countertops in the kitchen.
