Situated at the end of a shady semi-circular driveway, High Trees offers guests a comfortable and relaxed Barbados vacation experience. The villa features traditional terrazzo floors, warm muted décor, and touches of colour to enhance its Caribbean flavour.

Located at the centre of the villa, the entry foyer serves as the inside sitting area. Wide French doors lead on to the covered patio, where guests can relax with a cool Caribbean drink or dine alfresco. Guests may also request cook services for an additional fee. It’s just steps to the large wooden deck surrounding the pool, where guests can enjoy comfortable lounge chairs just in case it is the sun rather than the shade they are looking for. A pathway leads from the patio, through the lovely gardens, to a second deck area at the beach edge. The beach deck features a small gazebo and outdoor dining, providing a private and relaxing setting. For your convenience, a private gate provides direct access to the beach.

The bedrooms are all air-conditioned and have en-suite bathrooms. The main bedroom features a "wet room" in its en-suite bathroom as well as direct access to the pool deck. Bedroom 3 has direct access to the pool deck, while Bedroom 2 connects via the bathroom—a great option for parents and children. Bedroom 4 is located to the left of the entry foyer.

High Trees is located on the well-known Gibbes Beach, on the West Coast of Barbados. The villa is within walking distance of Mullins Beach and is just a 5-minute drive to Speightstown, where guests can enjoy shopping and casual dining options. Holetown is a 15-minute drive away. This holiday rental villa is an excellent choice for families or groups of friends wishing to enjoy a relaxing Barbados vacation.

Please note: The beach experiences seasonal fluctuations in its accessibility and size.

Speightown, Barbados, features Bajan cuisine in a coastal setting, with lively bars offering local rum cocktails and stunning nearby beaches:

Wow! The most amazing, relaxing week spent here in this beautiful house. Overlooking the sea, listening to the sound of the waves and the rustling of the trees.Everywhere was immaculately clean, bedrooms were spacious & comfortable.Bathrooms were perfect. Powerful showers.Staff were great, very attentive, polite and we felt very comfortable around their company. Food was incredible some of the best we have eaten in the island. Laundry was all cleaned and put back in your room each day.The outdoor pool was a huge hit and 100% necessary when the sun was shinning. Access to the beach is another hit. Fully equipped kitchen, home, all channels accessible on the TV. Very much home away from home. Comfy outdoor furniture was very nice.
