Villa Melissa, Porters, Barbados. Villa Melissa places travelers along the famous Platinum Coast of Barbados, and within the coveted Porters area. The five-bedroom property is only a short walk to the beach, and yet it also provides such an array of amenities and luxuries that a group of travelers may be loathe to leave its wonderful surroundings.

At the heart of the property is an enormous and lavishly appointed pool area that incorporates the pool as well as a bevvy of sun decks with lounges and expansive sitting areas. There is a sheltered dining spot as well as an open-air space, and the enormous al fresco bar and kitchen is likely to become a favorite spot to gather at all hours.

This is not the end of the property’s luxuries, however, as it is also fully-staffed with a complete array of service providers. There is a professional chef to make three meals each day, a housekeeping team with laundress, a butler to serve drinks and host the entire group, and groundskeepers to tend to the pool and surroundings.

This will make it easier than ever to arrive in the private, gated community and begin savoring the many indoor and outdoor spaces. After all, in addition to the pool area is the garden with its trees strung with hammocks, and the many different porches and little niches perfect for enjoying cocktails, morning beverages, or simply savoring the surroundings. The buildings are all little gems with their coral stone and pickled wood finishes, and the inside is no less.

Designed in a classic great room layout, the main house includes an enormous lounge and living room area with a contemporary dining space nearby. The full gourmet kitchen is open to use, but with a chef, it’s not necessary! The five bedrooms are located in the cottage and main house. They range from king to dual twins, and all have ensuite bathrooms and outdoor access. These features make the Villa Melissa a wonderful find for your next group getaway or family retreat in Barbados.

Arrival Information: Guests staying at this property should choose the Barbados North Coast Transfer service area for airport transfers. We highly recommend the Barbados Fast Track service to expedite your arrival and avoid long waits at customs.

Clare Feb, 2023

The villa was beautiful — beyond any of our expectations, the pictures don’t do it justice! The staff were kind, the food was delicious and authentic, and the amenities were up to date. The villa, cottage, and outdoor spaces were so incredible. Housekeeping and cooking remained consistent throughout our stay. Our stay at Villa Melissa was exceptional and an experience we will never forget, and will recommend to others.
Celeste was very kind, warm, professional, attentive, and consistent.

Common Questions
Do we share the villa? click to close
No. You will not share the villa with another party. The villa is exclusively yours. If a larger villa offers a lower bedroom rate category, the villa will remain exclusively yours but the unrented bedrooms will be locked off.
For example, a 5 bedroom villa that offers a 3 bedroom rate will be the exclusive use of the guest but two bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms will be locked off. Capacity is capped at 2 guests per bedroom.
Are we protected from fraud? click to open
Yes. Isle Blue stands behind you throughout your entire vacation. Unlike other companies, each property we offer has been hand picked to ensure that our standards are met. All property managers are vetted and payments are required to be held in escrow. Our primary obligation is to ensure your satisfaction and to have an exceptionally memorable vacation.
Can you explain the reservation process? click to open
Once a reservation request is received, Isle Blue will request a contract from the property manager for your dates of interest. Once the dates are confirmed and contract is received from the property manager, a payment will be required to confirm your reservation.
Once a reservation is confirmed, a concierge will welcome you to the planning stages of your vacation to assist with arrival logistics, rental cars, transfers, and a host of concierge services.
Can we arrange an early check in? click to open
Early check in may be possible but is at the sole discretion of the property manager. Early check in permission may not be granted until 24 hours prior to arrival.
Can we arrange a late check out? click to open
A late check out is rarely granted due to the turnover needs of a villa. A late check out may only be granted 24 hours prior to your departure from the property and only when there is no check in scheduled on the day of your check out. If a late check out is urgently needed please contact us.
Are transfers to the property included? click to open
Select villas may include a one way or roundtrip airport transfer while others may provide an escort or meeting point. Arrival logistics will be handled by your dedicated concierge as well as other concierge needs. The property's transfer policy will be listed under the Policies section.
What to expect upon arrival? click to open
In general, a villa orientation will be provided along with a key turnover. During the orientation, information and instructions for the property will be provided. Emergency contact information will be provided. We are available 7 days a week to assist with any urgent needs.
The arrival procedures vary from villa to villa, select villas may include welcome provisioning while other properties will provide basic arrival information.
What is the cancellation policy? click to open
Since these vacation homes are one of a kind properties, the cancellation policy is strict. We highly recommend considering trip/travel insurance to protect against any unexpected cancellations or issues that may arise.
For more details, please visit Travel Protection
What happens if the property becomes unavailable after I reserve? click to open
In the unlikely event, the rented property becomes unavailable due to a major issue that may affect a guest's experience or a transfer of ownership, Isle Blue will coordinate with the property manager to find an alternate property of equal or superior standard that is subject to the guest's approval. If an alternate property is not acceptable to the guest, the guest will receive a full refund.
Do you accept credit cards (American Express, Mastercard, or Visa)? click to open
Yes, we accept all major credit cards. American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover are accepted. Please note that credit card charges may be subject to additional fees. There are no fees with payment by wire transfer or check.
In the near future, we expect to accept a greater variety of payment methods and currencies via Stripe.
Is housekeeping included? click to open
Housekeeping tends to be a standard among vacation homes but the frequency may vary greatly depending on the property manager’s standards. Most properties will offer daily housekeeping (except Sunday and holidays) while other villas may only provide a mid-week cleaning. Please refer to the Staff section to learn about the housekeeping frequency of the property.
Are towels and linens provided? click to open
Yes. The property will provide bath and pool towels along with linens. Towels and linens will be refreshed as needed.
Are toiletries and tissues provided? click to open
A property may supply an initial supply of soap, shampoo, toilet paper and paper towels but replenishment of supplies once exhausted may be the responsibility of the guest. Each property varies in their handling of toiletries and paper products.
Is a hair dryer available? click to open
A hair dryer should be available at the property. Upon arrival, please check the bathrooms or closet. Typically, a hair dryer is included in each bathroom.
Is an iron included? click to open
Typically yes, irons tend to be standard equipment for vacation homes. Please ask the property representative upon orientation for the location of the iron.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

"Isle Blue is everything they say they are. They were a pleasure to deal with and were very responsive and informative. The pictures on their website are exactly what you end up getting and they provide full concierge service throughout your stay. My family and I had an amazing time and before we even returned home, we went to the Isle Blue website to check out their inventory for our next vacation. They really are just that good!"
