Barbados: the life of the rich and famous
July 9th, 2009 by Sian MeadesIf you’re serious about a change of scene, you couldn’t get more different than Barbados. Blue seas, golden sand and magical palm trees – there’s nowhere more idyllic. The downside? Barbados isn’t very budget friendly. But you do get a high quality of living so it can be well worth it.
So here are some fabulous homes there to tempt you.
Show-stopping
This home is nothing but spectacular. If you’re looking for somewhere to make a big impact, this place will do it.
The front of the house makes a real impact, but it’s even better inside. It’s got six bedrooms, and eight bathrooms. Yes, more baths than beds. For all of that primping and preening you’ll want to do.
There’s nothing this home doesn’t have. Of course, it also comes with a price tag to match. Have a spare £10,140,273? Then it’s all yours.
Fabulous
If you’re looking for a villa that looks stunning, but doesn’t cost as much as the previous property, this home might be perfect. It looks great, but at £3,072,810 it’s somewhat cheaper than the previous home (yes, it’s still waaaaaaay out of my price range).
So what do you get for your cash? Five bedrooms, a pool, a stunning gazebo and some great gardens. I’ll put an offer in just as soon as I win the lottery.
Lovely
If nothing else, waking up to that view every day would be worth every penny. The apartment boasts some of the best views on the island and the property itself is stunning with polished floors and vast windows. It’s great for open-plan living.
So how much for the apartment with just about the best view in the world? £1,352,036.
Charming
If you’re looking for somewhere that has oodles of charm, then this home might be the one for you. You get access to the private beach and golf club, but also a really pretty home.
It’s split across two levels, and everything in this property is in the detailing. Chandelier lights, interesting wall features. Unusual things that will make you fall in love with the place and call it home.
How much? It’s £611,489 and my favourite of the bunch.
