Sleeps 10 | Bedrooms 5 | Bathrooms 5 | Pool : Pool
Villa Melissa presents itself as the ultimate family retreat in the stunning locale of Barbados. Boasting five bedrooms, this villa is a true gem, featuring a trio of bedrooms within the main house and an additional two-bedroom cottage. Notably, Villa Melissa has earned a distinguished spot in the top 30 Caribbean Villas according to “The Times” UK.
Enhancing its allure, the property showcases a brand-new swimming pool nestled amidst expansive and picturesque gardens, making it an ideal haven for families. The pool design cleverly divides the space into two distinct sections via stepping stones. On one side, a shallow end with a gentle 3-foot depth caters perfectly to children, complete with comfortable seating along the water's edge for vigilant supervision. On the opposite side of the stepping stones, a deeper swimming area with a consistent depth of 4.6 feet provides an excellent spot for those who fancy some serious swimming.
A recent addition to the villa, the stylish bar exudes a relaxed beachy vibe, adorned with driftwood timbers and six inviting bar stools. This delightful setting proves perfect for savoring pre-dinner cocktails or a nightcap under the stars.
Villa Melissa, with its five bedrooms, nestles within private enclosed gardens. Its flexible arrangements allow for rental as a full five-bedroom villa, a four-bedroom option using just one of the cottage bedrooms, or a more intimate three-bedroom villa utilizing the main house exclusively. The dedicated staff, known for their exceptional service, ensure your every need is met. Accessing the nearby West Coast beach is a breeze – a brief walk along a private road/pathway adjoining the grounds brings you to the sandy shores. For added convenience, Reco, the diligent butler, takes care of beach necessities like sun loungers and coolers, and remains reachable via walkie-talkie for any additional requests. Whether you're lounging on the beach or seeking the comforts of the villa, the choice is yours.
Barbados stands as an alluring year-round destination, boasting pristine white sandy beaches caressed by the inviting Caribbean Sea. The people of Barbados are known for their warmth and friendliness, adding to the island's charm. Positioned along the sought-after West Coast in St. James parish, Villa Melissa enjoys proximity to Holetown, a vibrant hub offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars. Alternatively, you can embark on a leisurely beachfront stroll to access upscale Barbados resorts such as Coral Reef Club, Colony Club, Royal Pavilion, and Glitter Bay.
Much like the essence of many Caribbean Villas, the heart of Villa Melissa's holiday experience revolves around outdoor living, soaking in the Caribbean ambiance, and savoring the hospitality of the villa's dedicated staff. With Reco as the attentive butler focused on ensuring guests' relaxation and Patsy, the warm-hearted cook, crafting delectable meals, your stay at Villa Melissa promises to be an unforgettable Caribbean escape.

Unavailable A wonderful second stay at Villa Melissa. The ladies made our stay even more perfect and we missed them so much when they weren’t here. Patricia has made us gain nearly a stone with her tremendous cooking. Thank you for everything! 16 April 2017
Thank you to Patricia, Nicole and Grace for looking after us all so well and making our stay a dream holiday. Patricia’s cooking was always fabulous and Nicole made sure we always had everything we needed. Grace made sure our rooms were always spotless and our laundry was all done !! We wish we could take you all home with us, the kids will miss you all as much as us. We would love to come back to Villa Melissa soon.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your email below and apologises for the delay in responding as it has been extremely hectic since my return from Barbados. I felt it important to give you some feedback about our stay at Villa Melissa.
Two words to describe the villa is ‘’Absolutely fabulous!” The 3 staff, Patricia, Rodney and Grace were extremely good and far exceeded our expectations. They could not do enough for us during our stay. Patricia the cook was excellent and her cooking was of a very high standard. She was that good, my friends and I just wanted to stay in for dinner most nights.
Grace the housekeeper was exceptionally good and kept every area in the villa spick and span. The villa itself was very spacious even with the 7 of us staying there and with the very large swimming pool it accommodated 7 of us very comfortably. I loved the outside bar especially with Rodney keeping us well stocked up with Banks Beers. It was the most popular place in the villa where we would gather together, sit, chat, drink and listen to music as well as having a sing song.
Another area which I loved was the lounge area on the patio which gave shelter from the sun. Overall the villa is an ideal location and so close to the beach. I enjoyed the 20 minute walk along the beach to Holetown which I did every day. My friends said it was the best holiday they ever had.
Each morning I worked for a few hours and found the internet was excellent. It was very fast with no delays which is very important.
All in all I would give Villa Melissa 10 out of 10.
Many thanks to you and Julie for arranging this villa with all the extras we required and the excellent service you both provided. I look forward to booking with you again. With thanks and best wishes,
Mr McDonnell
