Vibrant 4-Bedroom Villa with Pool & Polo Views, Steps from Paynes Bay Beach.

Just a ten-minute stroll from one of Barbados’ most celebrated beaches, this four-bedroom villa captures the island’s rare ability to be both laid-back and luxuriously refined. Surrounded by swaying palms and lush tropical gardens, the home feels cocooned in privacy—yet to the north, an unbroken vista sweeps across the polo field, bringing a sense of space and breezy openness seldom found in such a central West Coast location.

The house is a celebration of colour and character. In the west wing, a joyful pink kitchen and dining space spill effortlessly into a sitting room where green-and-white chequered tiles dance in the sunlight. Original louvred shutters offer the option to close the space for intimate gatherings, or leave it wide to the gentle trade winds that drift through the property.

The east wing reveals the home’s more intimate side. Two generous double bedrooms and a bespoke children’s bunk room create a wing filled with warmth and whimsy. The bunk room is painted in a rich verdigris green, its walls adorned with real starfish—a playful, tactile reminder of the island’s shoreline. Throughout the guest bedrooms, a confident pink-and-green palette pays homage both to the vibrancy of Caribbean culture and to Cobblers Cove, one of Barbados’ most iconic hotels.

The primary suite is a sanctuary in its own right, with generous closet space and an ensuite bathroom. French doors open onto a private covered terrace, where a sofa and coffee table invite long, unhurried mornings or evening cocktails, with views over the pool and the distant thud of polo ponies in full stride. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and the south guest room offers its own courtyard access, the soft trickle of the fountain adding to its serene charm.

For those seeking privacy, a fourth bedroom sits apart, accessed by its own entrance beside the kitchen. Complete with its own ensuite, it offers a peaceful retreat—ideal for visiting friends, extended family, or staff—though not intended for children.

At the heart of the villa, the pool glistens like a slice of the Caribbean sea itself, edged by terraces designed for barefoot living: morning coffee in the dappled light, afternoons given over to sun-warmed lounging, and evenings under a canopy of stars. Here, the spirit of the island is woven into every detail, from the colours on the walls to the open views over the polo field — a villa that truly captures the essence of barefoot Barbados living, balancing vivid personality with timeless island charm
