property ownership. With three further seafront plots available through Savills, this is a rare chance to own

an arcadian stretch of white sand with its own living reef

A

viewing of Villa Tamarindo at

Beachlands on the west coast of

Barbados proves that even idyllic

swathes of super-prime property

have pockets of further exclusivity.

The St James’ region, first adorned with

the romantic, grand and sumptuously

comfortable beachfront houses created by

Oliver Messel in the 1960s, has long been

dubbed the Platinum Coast. Nestled between

the Sandy Lane Hotel and the retail and

leisure hotspot of Limegrove, Beachlands

• an unprecedented development of four
  newbuild properties all designed by Larry
  Warren – offers barefoot luxury in the best
  location in Barbados.
  The superlative specifications of the
  immaculate interior of the 13,174sqft Villa
  Tamarindo – which is on the market for
  US$28million – add luxurious comfort and
  convenience to the property’s unique
  advantage: a naturally screened location
  on a slight elevation so you can gaze
  through palm fronds over pristine white
  sand towards the sparkling sea from the
  privacy of a stunning pool terrace.
  Villa Tamarindo’s expansive open-
  plan living spaces, five-bedroom suites,
  magnificent grand salon, media room,

dining terrace, and chef’s kitchen, are an

exemplar of the best-in-class design that

you would expect of Warren. The stunning

exterior and interior architecture also

give insight into what other buyers could

commission with three other beachfront

plots available. “With the island’s signature

architect and a blue-chip developer ready

to deliver, a buyer could acquire an uber-

luxe house for a price tag in the late

teens, or put two plots together and

really have some fun,” says James Burdess,

Head of Caribbean.

A word on the site. In a haven where

there is famously zero supply of new land,

Beachlands benefits from depth between

beach and the interior road, and a tropical

haven created by mature mahogany trees

which give dappled shade throughout the

700-foot beach frontage (many are over 75

years old). An ocean groyne system has been

installed to preserve the dry sand area and

create an ideal environment for Hawksbill

turtles who regularly nest on the beach.

Beachlands also boasts a beautiful living

reef teeming with sealife, including starfish,

tropical fish and turtles.
