About this property

Melissa - Popular 5 bedroom villa with private pool

Welcome to Villa Melissa by Exceptional Villas. We are proud to be ranked the #1 vacation rental company on Trust Pilot. We offer a full complimentary concierge service to all guests.

Villa Melissa is a perfect family villa in Barbados. It offers 5 bedrooms. There are 3 en auite, air conditioned bedrooms in the main house. A futher two double air-conditioned en suite bedrooms are in the delightful, self-contained, 2 bedroom cottage.

The cottage is a wonderful original coral stone building. There are fossils in its walls and the bedrooms are large and furnished in calming creams and taupes. The master bedroom in the cottage is particularly romantic with a delightful four poster bed. It is often first choice accommodation for honeymooners.

Villa Melissa is located just a 3 minute stroll from the beach. Access to the beach is down a dreamy leafy beach path. Villa Melissa is also just a short distance from all the shops and amenities of Holetown.

Villa Melissa is rented with cook, housekeeper/laundress and Ian, the general assistant. Ian will prepare your drinks at the bar and serve your meals.

Villa Melissa has been listed as one of the top 30 villas in the Caribbean..

The large salt water swimming pool at Villa Melissa sits in the middle of picturesque and spacious gardens. This villa is particularly well suited for families.

The pool is divided into two areas by stepping stones. These create a 3 feet shallow end which is ideal for children.

There is ample comfortable seating close by so children may be watched from the water's edge.

On the other side of the stepping stones is a deeper swimming area. This area is 4'6 “ deep throughout. Ideal for those who like to swim lengths.

One of the most popular features of Villa Melissa is the thatched tiki bar fondly known as 'Chubs One Love Bar.' This is located next to the pool and from here you may sit in the shade and enjoy your favourite refreshment. It tends to be the focal point of the garden where guests sit and play backgammon, scrabble and other games. A wonderful place to enjoy an evening cocktail before dinner. Riki makes a mean rum punch!

The bar has Sonos so bring your own music to enjoy.

The gardens of Villa Melissa are beautifully landscaped.

Villa Melissa is located on a private road that leads to the beach path. It is just a 3 minute stroll down the leafy path to the beach. Enjoy beach life yet escape to the oasis of the house and garden which is home to wonderful bird life. If you're lucky you will see green monkeys scampering across the garden walls.

Barbados is a fabulous holiday destination at any time of the year. It has many white sandy beaches fringed by the warm Caribbean Sea.

Barbados is also home to some of the friendliest Caribbean people you'll ever meet.

Located on the popular West Coast in the parish of St James, Villa Melissa is just a short drive to Holetown. Here you will find a selection of shops, restaurants and bars. If you like a stroll on the beach you will find many luxury hotel resorts just a short walk away.

Villa Melissa is walking distance from hotel resorts such as Coral Reef Club, Colony Club, Royal Pavilion and Glitter Bay.
Villa Melissa is no exception and the friendly staff will make sure guests have a relaxing time. The Villa Melissa reviews speak for themselves.

Villa Melissa's warm hearted cook Eurys, will prepare mouth watering meals. Grace, the housekeeper, will keep the villa clean with a smile and a twinkle in her eye!Ian, the general assistant will help with food, beverages and many more services.

All of the five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning and ceiling fans. There is a combination of King, Queen and twin beds to suit most requirements.

‘’Absolutely fabulous!”
Hi Paul, Thank you for your email below and apologises for the delay in responding as it has been extremely hectic since my return from Barbados. I felt it important to give you some feedback about our stay at Villa Melissa. Two words to describe the villa is ‘’Absolutely fabulous!” The 3 staff, Patricia, Rodney and Grace were extremely good and far exceeded our expectations. They could not do enough for us during our stay. Patricia the cook was excellent and her cooking was of a very high standard. She was that good, my friends and I just wanted to stay in for dinner most nights. Grace the housekeeper was exceptionally good and kept every area in the villa spick and span. The villa itself was very spacious even with the 7 of us staying there and with the very large swimming pool it accommodated 7 of us very comfortably. I loved the outside bar especially with Rodney keeping us well stocked up with Banks Beers. It was the most popular place in the villa where we would gather together, sit, chat, drink and listen to music as well as having a sing song. Another area which I loved was the lounge area on the patio which gave shelter from the sun. Overall the villa is an ideal location and so close to the beach. I enjoyed the 20 minute walk along the beach to Holetown which I did every day. My friends said it was the best holiday they ever had. Each morning I worked for a few hours and found the internet was excellent. It was very fast with no delays which is very important. All in all I would give Villa Melissa 10 out of 10. Many thanks to you and Julie for arranging this villa with all the extras we required and the excellent service you both provided. I look forward to booking with you again. With thanks and best wishes, Mr McDonnell
