Luxury apartments in Barbados

A perennial favourite with visitors and property investors alike, Barbados has it all; excellent weather, picture-perfect beaches, charming towns and villages and a beautiful green interior well worth exploring.

Also, in the recorded history of property on the island, the return on investment for Barbados real estate has averaged 8 – 10% per year for more than twenty years. Unlike larger countries where property values have come under pressure from issues such as the financial downturn, Barbados property values have continued to show significant strength.

This boutique beachfront luxury real estate development has been awarded the prestigious five-star CNBC Americas Property Award for Best International Apartment 2009. This symbol of worldwide excellence is already recognised and appreciated by increasingly well informed and discerning property buyers.

These luxury apartments are truly world class and offers a blend sophistication and technology, which makes them uniquely different from other residential developments on the west coast of Barbados. With only two residences on each floor, there are only ten luxury apartments and penthouses. The residences feature 3,500 sq.ft. of living space with luxurious finishes and smart technology. The penthouse boasts an additional 1,500 sq.ft private roof terrace with breathtaking panoramic ocean views, private pool, entertaining area and lush landscaping.

The luxury lifestyle offered will be complemented by a stunning array of amenities including a state-of-the-art gym overlooking the sea through a one-way glass wall, five-star concierge service, secure underground parking and an air-conditioned storage room facility for each residence. Also, on the sundeck, just steps away from the beach, a fully staffed beach bar awaits next to the 80-ft infinity pool.
