When you think of a holiday in the Caribbean, we hope the image of luxury and tranquility comes to mind.  And your island vacation can become anything you make of it.

For a relaxing, spacious getaway on an island paradise, nothing beats an extended villa stay on Barbados' beautiful sandy shores with clear blue waters and warm climate.  Whether your trip is a planned honeymoon or romantic interlude for two, or an adventurous beach romp for the whole family, a Barbados vacation is guaranteed to provide lasting memories and yearnings to return.

Apart from hotel accommodation in Barbados, there are hundreds of private villas, luxury townhouses, condos and apartments available for rental.

Of course there are advantages to renting a private villa as opposed to staying in a hotel while on holiday in Barbados, the first among them being privacy. With access to a villa you can come and go as you please and need not worry about bumping into others down a narrow hallway. Staying in a private villa also allows you to do what you want when you want - there is no rush to get to breakfast in the morning.  And if you want to eat dinner in your swimsuit, that's absolutely fine.

The luxury condominium complexes in Barbados are small, often between 15 to 30 apartments in each.   Similar to our villa rentals, rooms in a luxury condo in Barbados are traditionally larger, with private entrances and balcony/patio.

There are also properties offering individual duplex townhouses, some with their own private plunge pool as well as a communal pool.

It is always our hope that visitors to Barbados experience the most relaxing, elegant holiday possible, and BarbadosBarbados.com can help you find the perfect accommodation to suit your needs and budget.

Other benefits to renting a private villa, townhouse or luxury condo in Barbados include:-

• Pre-stocked pantries - No need to worry about grocery shopping when you arrive. If arranged ahead of time, according to the villa's amenities, the shelves may be filled with your favorite treats so you may enjoy a few home-cooked meals in addition to sampling the best of Bajan cuisine at any of the island's finest eateries.
   
• Sundries - Towels, sheets, blankets and pillows are provided in all accommodation. As you browse the available accommodation for rent on BarbadosBarbados.com, you will definitely note the luxury of each.  
  
• Airport pick-up - If you are traveling to Barbados on your own, most times you must arrange for your own travel to and from your accommodations. Certain villa rental companies, however, will gladly have a car waiting when your plane lands at Grantley Adams airport.
  
• TV/DVD/CD - Most private villas, townhouses and apartments are equipped with cable TV  and DVD/CD players for your enjoyment.
  
• Household Equipment - Kitchens are well equipped and come standard with toaster, microwave and coffee makers.  Most have laundry facilities.
  
• Pool - Most private villas, townhouses and apartments offer either pool access or a private plunge pool for your enjoyment. If and when you've had your fill of the ocean and desire the serenity of poolside sunning, let us know what you want and we'll find the perfect accommodations.
  
• Phones/Internet - While it would be ideal to enjoy a relaxing island getaway cut off from the outside world, we understand it is sometimes necessary to keep lines of communication open. All Barbados accommodation are equipped with telephones and some with Internet access and/or fax machines as well.  Except for the deluxe villas, all telephone lines have a debar in place preventing overseas calls.  It is possible to have the line opened if a telephone deposit is collected and held until all phone bills have been received.  Just be mindful of long distance charges! 
  
• Air Conditioning - Most bedrooms in Barbados accommodations are airconditioned with ceililng fans throughout. 
  
• Private staff - The smaller villas and apartments provide maid service during your stay.  The larger villas provide daily maid service, a laundress and a cook.  Additional services such as a private masseuse or yoga instructor can be arranged.
  
• Private guides - Many visitors to Barbados prefer villa rentals to package tours for the freedom they provide. Rather than follow a crowded group around the island, you may prefer to take Barbados at a different pace. Yet you may still need a local perspective to better enjoy the experience.  Depending upon whom you know, you may have the opportunity to see a side to Barbados the group tour operators never show.
  
• Gratuity - Staff wages are included in your rental fee but the giving of gratuities at the end of your stay is customary and we can supply the guideline for gratuities upon request.
