In some cases a basic staff will be provided, such as a housekeeper, while extra personnel such as a chef are available at an extra cost.

Although in many cases the beach may just be a few footsteps from the villa, there's nothing quite like having your own private pool.

But it's not just technology which is included; you'll also find fully equipped kitchens full of the most modern appliances. You may not want to cook during your stay but should you decide to do so, you will find the kitchen area wanting for nothing. 

Trade winds often mean that the weather in Barbados feels warm but not uncomfortable but if you visit in the dry season, it can be more humid. Air conditioning in all of the villas provides a cool and shady place if you want to escape from the sun for a while. The eco-friendly villas don't provide air-conditioning but instead have giant ceiling fans to provide s cooling breeze. 

Resort amenities

Although you might be staying in a private villa, the complex you are staying on is important too. The exact nature of the facilities will vary depending on the type of resort the villa is located in, but you can be certain that the surroundings will be safe, secure and of the highest class. 

Some villas are located in gated communities, with security guards posted to provide extra protection.

In other places there may be additional facilities such as onsite restaurants, spa facilities or a health club.

Whatever resort amenities are available, you can be certain that the villa will be set in stunning surroundings, with tropical landscaping and lush greenery, plants and trees providing a beautiful backdrop. 

Beach access 

Although some villas are located inland, the majority offer ocean views and a waterfront location, allowing guests to enjoy being close to the beach. 

In Barbados, it's illegal to restrict access to a beach; there's no such thing as a private beach. The landowner only has the legal right to the beach as far as the high water mark, everything lower is considered to be publicly accessible. 

This means that although there may be no private beaches in Barbados, there are many villas which offer immediate and easy access, with alternative routes much more difficult to navigate. This can result in quiet and secluded stretches of sands just a few steps from the accommodation.
