Dive Into Luxury With Your Own Private Pool
Nothing says luxury like a private pool just steps from your bedroom. At Blue Sky Luxury, we take pride in our collection of luxurious villas with stunning private pools that take your vacation experience to the next level.
Here are five standout properties where the pool is just as dreamy as the view.
Hectors House
Hectors House is a 3-bedroom private oasis overlooking the south coast of Barbados. The private infinity pool is the heart of the villa, surrounded by al fresco dining spots, sun loungers, and wraparound verandahs that invite you to live outdoors. Inside, the villa features spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own ocean-facing patio and hammock. There’s also a rooftop deck, a cosy office loft, and a fully equipped kitchen. With family friendly accommodations and easy access to nearby attractions, Hectors House is the perfect space to relax and unwind.
Bachelor Hall
Bachelor Hall is a 7-bedroom estate that exudes timeless Caribbean luxury. With lush gardens, a stunning pool pavilion, and a rooftop dining terrace, this villa is as lavish as it is inviting.

One Westland Heights
One Westland Heights is a stylish 5-bedroom villa located in a prestigious gated community on Barbados’ West Coast. Two primary suites open onto spacious upper terraces, while a separate guest cottage by the saltwater infinity pool houses two more en-suite bedrooms.

You have just purchased your new holiday home and want to decorate and set it up for rental.
Our Property Management team at Blue Sky Luxury Barbados has lots of experience helping new owners set up and manage their new holiday homes. Here are some tips on how to set up your property as a Short Term holiday rental.
- Stick to a neutral color palette. Most guests prefer soothing tones. A color palette of white, tan, or grey, is also timeless, so it saves you time and money as it relates to updating your decor. If you love color, then add a pop of color to your neutral palette. This way, you inject a bit of personality and your style while making your guests feel comfortable.
- When choosing furnishings – select durable materials that will withstand multiple uses. Some suntan lotions may ruin materials such as suede or velvet so ensure that you understand the quality of the furnishings you are purchasing.
- Most of us love ‘knick-knacks’ but we recommend that you keep your decor welcoming and reduce the number of ‘knick-knacks. For the period that guests are renting, they want to feel that it is their home. Reduce or eliminate personal items, especially personal photos, and breakable valuables.
- We highly recommend white linens – at least 3 sets. White linens are easy to wash, they help create a feeling of calm and provide the perfect backdrop for a pop of colour! Have one set in use, one set in the cupboard, and one in the wash.
- Cutlery, crockery, and glassware – Our rule here is: your property can hold 10 guests maximum so have at least maximum capacity of the property plus 50% more. I.e 15 glasses
- Ensure that usable items such as electronics are in good working order. Don’t keep an old radio ‘just because’. If it’s there, make sure it is in good working order, if not remove it.
- The team at Blue Sky Luxury always recommends best practices as it relates to protecting the environment. To economise on electricity – use LED or energy-saving bulbs. We also recommend that you purchase Inverter type AC units. This helps to reduce your electricity bill and your environmental footprint.
- Ensure that your Internet package is reliable and has adequate coverage – especially if your property is a large one Make sure it is the fastest speed available.
- Install a water tank. When water outages occur, you want to ensure that your guests have access to potable running water. If there are also adverse weather conditions, you want to ensure that you can assure guests that they will always have access to the necessities.
- Choose a good Property Management company that will treat your property as their own. We cannot reiterate this enough. Most owners are not on the island and you want to know that you have a trusted partner to protect your assets. A full-service company is ideal. This way, you get better rates and better service for your property all in one place. A full-service company with great Reservations, Concierge and Guest Services, and Human Resources departments, can assist you in hiring the right staff for your property.

Curious about the term “villa” as it relates to vacation rentals?
A villa experience (in Barbados) typically refers to renting a private luxury estate with expert staff, impeccable interiors and a host of on-site luxe amenities. Villas can also encompass a less lavish experience however the premise is that the villa is private to you and your guests. Whereas with a hotel it is a shared experience with multiple guests on the same floor.
How do you book a villa?
It is best to trust a reputable company that has been in the villa rental business for over 20 years. Having trusted international and local affiliates is also a good sign. A good villa rental company will have an authentic website and a reservations department where you are able to chat online or send an enquiry. When booking a villa, here are some easy steps to follow:
- Visit blueskyluxury.com to start your search.
- From the home page enter your arrival and departure dates, total guests and number of bedrooms needed.
- Once your search results are returned you can book directly online from the property you choose or send an enquiry to an agent. (Booking online is secure, all credit card information is encrypted.)
Ok! So you are booked. No bell man? No front desk? No restaurant? Hotels have staff available to assist 24/7 and offer a wide range of services such as: room service, housekeeping, and concierge services. What does a villa have?
Many high-end luxury villas have staff such as butlers, chefs, housekeepers and laundresses for the duration of the stay. Concierge & Guest Services and Property Managers are also on hand to make the experience more convenient and luxurious. The concierge offers a more personal and customised vacation experience by arranging fast track, groceries, meals and activities before you even arrive. Property Managers are on call 24/7 in case anything goes wrong at your villa. You will always feel secure as a Guest Services Agent will check with you at your convenience to ensure that all is well. Some holidaymakers prefer to dine out or make use of fully-equipped kitchens. It’s a great option to either plan menus with your chef or to cook on your own.
What can I expect when I arrive?
Hope you like rum punch! In some villas the staff will meet you on arrival with a beverage and give you the grand tour. Expert staff members will let you in on any insider information to make you feel more welcome in your home away from home. Welcome packs have lots of information on the island as well as contact numbers in case of any emergencies.
Privacy and independence: Villas typically offer more privacy and independence than hotels, as they are separate, self-contained properties.
Loads of space: Villas usually have more living areas than hotel rooms, which can be especially beneficial for families or groups of friends travelling together. In most cases a villa be double the space of a hotel room.
Outdoor space: Many villas have outdoor areas such as a pool or a patio, which can be great for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather in Barbados. Private gardens offer a relaxing oasis for barbecues or a space to rejuvenate in absolute peace.
Amenities: Depending on which villa you choose, like hotels, villas can have a wide range of amenities like swimming pools, fitness centers, and spas.
Ultimately, the choice between a villa and a hotel will depend on your personal preferences and the specific needs of your trip. We recommend trying the villa life at least once, you won’t regret it. You have all the privacy of your home while enjoying the beautiful scenery and luxurious amenities of Barbados.

Your Barbados vacation is booked. Your bags are packed. But, are they PACKED packed? Let us offer you five must-brings (or at least good-to-knows) that you may not have on your checklist to add an extra serving of ‘wow’ to your Barbados experience.
Extra charge…
It’s not what you think, so please put away your wallets. Barbados is chockfull of gorgeous scenery and Insta-cool experiences that are sure to turn you into a shutterbug. So, if you have one, be sure to pack your power bank – or battery chargers for the professional content creators out there – so that you won’t be left hanging mid-click! And, don’t forget to bring the necessary electrical plug converters to charge your devices.
A nice outfit
We know you’re probably at ten-and-counting beachwear and casual options when it comes to your Barbados vacation fashion haul, but have you even packed a formal wear option? Trust us with this one, since you’ll probably want to have a chic, fine dining night out while on the island. And for the night owls, don’t you want to take in the full Barbados nightlife offering in style?
A pair of sneakers
While we’re on the topic of your vacation fashion, go ahead and make some space for your flip-flops’ more athletic and adventurous sibling. In Barbados, we call them sneakers, but maybe you’ll relate if we say tennis shoes… or gym shoes… or runners. Whatever you prefer to call them, the point remains that you’ll have several more options of Barbados experiences if you have them. This includes hiking through nature trails, parks, and gullies, scenic walks, or even spelunking through the island’s caves. Or maybe your lovely holiday home has a tennis or basketball court and you want to capitalize… in this case, you can!
Pack the romance
This one is a bit more figurative than the others. But, with villas this gorgeous and island vistas so memorable, we couldn’t resist hinting at a love-themed stay. You will be luxuriously spoilt for choice with the options of a stunning garden, seaside or even underground cave wedding. Or, be the envy of your friends with a beautiful Barbados honeymoon. Propose to the love of your life in paradise, or for those veterans at love, renew your vows with the island’s blessings.
Pack up house…
Unlike the romance, we mean this literally. If for some reason you haven’t heard, Barbados is offering you the amazing opportunity to live where you vacation. This has been made extremely easy thanks to the Barbados Welcome Stamp Visa, which is a programme launched back in 2020. So, if you have professional flexibility that allows you to work remotely, have a slice of paradise for a little longer than normal! And, what’s amazing about this prospect is that you can bring the whole family – even your fur babies!
Book your Barbados adventures and experiences with our Concierge team – they’re waiting to make your next trip an unforgettable one!
