Property Description
Welcome to Atelier, a striking contemporary villa that captures the beauty of Barbados from its elevated position above the West Coast of St. James. This four-bedroom retreat spans over 4,300 square feet and features a private pool, expansive terraces, and sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea that are nothing short of mesmerizing. Just 500 meters away lies the calm shoreline of Reeds Bay, one of the island’s most cherished beaches.
The villa is perfectly located for exploring the west coast. Within minutes, you can be on the sands of Reeds Bay or enjoying the lively atmosphere of Mullins Bay, known for its beachfront restaurants, laid-back bars, and the indulgent spa. A short drive north brings you to Holetown, home to designer boutiques, duty-free shops, and some of the island’s most acclaimed dining. Golf enthusiasts can tee off at the legendary Sandy Lane or Royal Westmoreland courses, while water lovers will find deep-sea fishing and sailing excursions departing daily from Bridgetown.
Designed by renowned architect Alistair Downie and completed in 2012, Atelier takes inspiration from the island’s natural light and vistas. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls open wide to invite the outdoors in, creating seamless transitions between airy interiors and sun-drenched terraces. The living area is particularly striking, with a soaring double-height ceiling framing uninterrupted sea views. Finishes are refined yet understated, from Portuguese limestone surfaces in the kitchen to custom bathroom fittings and contemporary artwork adorning the walls.
Each of the four bedrooms has been thoughtfully designed for comfort. The upper-level master suite offers a king bed, a private balcony, and a shaded terrace ideal for evening sunsets. A second king bedroom opens directly to the pool terrace and features an en suite with an outdoor shower. The third bedroom includes a queen bed, while the fourth offers twin beds, with both sharing a stylish bathroom.
The outdoor spaces are as captivating as the interiors. A 32 x 27 ft swimming pool overlooks a lush mahogany-filled gully leading out to the sea, while the surrounding gardens brim with native palms, bougainvillea, and tropical flowers. Guests can also enjoy a spacious rooftop terrace and a mezzanine study, both offering spectacular vantage points across the island. The gated property covers half an acre and provides secure parking for multiple vehicles, making it a private sanctuary for families or groups seeking modern elegance on Barbados’s Platinum Coast.
STAFF: When you stay at Atelier, you will be personally cared for by Atelier’s own staff. You will feel welcomed and pampered throughout your stay.
