Situated on the prestigious Platinum Coast of Barbados, so called due to its sparkling waters and beautiful beaches, in the parish of St. Peter, Godings Beach House is the ultimate in contemporary luxury. Stylish décor and clean lines work in harmony with this prime, beachfront location, offering the perfect retreat for rest and relaxation for up to ten guests. Measuring over 1,250 sq. metres, the villa was designed by award-winning local architects Gillespie & Steel, using some of the island’s most beautiful materials, to bring the outside in with incredible views over the infinity pool to the beach and sea beyond from the villa’s spacious, open plan living area.

Attention to detail has been paramount from the Boffi kitchen to Ralph Lauren and Christian Liaigre furnishings, B&B Italia sofas and pieces by Nicola Bealing, one of Simon Nixon’s favourite artists from Cornwall, and Guy Leclef. There is a state-of-the-art gym, glass-walled study and home cinema room, as well as access to a range of water sports equipment and a yoga pavilion.

Service is as you would expect, comes as standard, with Butler, Housekeeper, Security and the in-villa private chef – with their own kitchen – who can tailor menus and the house manager can arrange everything from dining at the island’s most exclusive restaurants, to sunrise yoga sessions, stand-up paddle boarding safaris, water-skiing, diving and yacht or speedboat charter and hire. Godings is gated ensuring total privacy.

Water Activities

The latest water-sports equipment including kayaks, body boards and Hobie Mirage Eclipse Stand Up Pedal Boards, are available for use. Scuba diving and surfing can be arranged with local specialists. Seaduced Luxury Charters and Silvermoon Barbados Luxury Catamaran Cruises, both located in Bridgetown offer cruises and private charter for sailing adventures with a gourmet picnic and chilled drinks. The Godings team can arrange a speedboat charter for diving, fishing, water skiing or darting about to local restaurants as well as Jet Skis and Foils.

Cookery lessons for the adults and pizza-making for children can also be arranged.
