Why the Great House Barbados is
the ultimate getaway
Seven reasons to book this spectacular holiday home
Nestled on two and a half acres of pristine Barbadian shoreline, The Great House Barbados offers an ultra-luxurious, yet warm and welcoming, island retreat.
The spectacular house seamlessly combines European and North American elegance with the authentic charm of Barbadian hospitality, and the team of friendly onsite staff can cater to your every need, creating the perfect setting for an intimate and relaxed family getaway. While the house features expansive open spaces for large groups to enjoy, the property remains private and discreet, offering a comfortable space where you can totally unwind.
The property unfolds into two distinct realms: the seaside complex, a serene haven for calmer pursuits, including the accommodations and the Great Bar; and the landside complex, a space designed for more active recreation and a plethora of diverse facilities.
The Great House is for exclusive use only so that you and your guests can enjoy the luxury, tranquility and privacy of the entire property for the duration of your stay.
1. Sumptuous suites
Accommodating up to 30 guests, The Great House offers 12 spacious suites across the seaside buildings, including the Great House itself, the Carriage House, two cottages and Hillaby House.
