Highlands is an exquisite luxury residence in Barbados, exuding the charm of a bygone era. Nestled on the prestigious Platinum Coast within the lush surroundings of a two-acre tropical garden, Highlands is centrally located in the exclusive Sandy Lane Estate. Situated on one of the highest points within the estate, this villa offers a sense of intimacy, privacy, and exclusivity with no neighboring houses to the rear.
This stunning property features six bedrooms, with four bedrooms in the main villa and an additional two bedrooms in the cottage located on the grounds. The lush indoor and outdoor gardens create a captivating tropical ambiance that sets the stage for a truly unique villa experience.
As you enter Highlands, a serene atmosphere envelops you, and you cross a bridge over a tranquil stream that meanders around the villa and out into the garden. At night, the imaginative lighting within the gardens adds a particularly enchanting touch.
To the right of the entrance hall, you’ll find a living room that opens onto a large terrace, offering magnificent views of the garden, swimming pool, and glimpses of the sea. Adjacent to the living room is the gazebo-style dining area, where ten people can enjoy a unique dining experience amidst the soothing ambiance created by a water feature and tropical plants.
For more casual meals and breakfast, there is a dining terrace that opens onto the pool and BBQ area. Accessible through the wet bar, which adjoins the large kitchen and service areas, this dining terrace provides a convenient space for relaxed dining.
The bedroom wing, located to the left of the entrance hall, features three double guest rooms with en-suite bathrooms, linked by an intimate terrace that offers commanding views of the lush tropical gardens.
