A historic property in the St. James area of Barbados, Villa Mango Bay was created by Oliver Messel and has retained his masterful use of the setting and Caribbean design to create the perfect retreat. Located adjacent to its own private stretch of beachfront, it uses an expansive and open floor plan to provide a wonderful blend of private and shared living spaces for up to 13 visitors at once.
Guests will marvel at the beauty of the premises, especially the private swimming pool area. Framed by a terrace and bordered by the gardens, it captures the essence of the tropics. Naturally, you may prefer the oceanfront, and this property boasts a private terrace right on the sands. Take steps down to the beach or bask in the sun on one of the many comfortable lounges. And if you prefer some time indoors, you will feel like a royal in the high ceilinged spaces of the indoor lounge, formal dining room, and gourmet kitchen.
The property boasts a courtyard, dining pavilion, private gardens, a breathtaking lily pond, and a cottage. Just like a private estate of your own, it is staffed with a butler and assistant, a chef, housekeeping, and a laundress waiting to provide you with courteous, friendly, and capable service.
There are 4 double bedrooms and 1 single bedroom in the main villa and the charming little cottage features 2 further bedrooms. All of them have private, en suite bathrooms, and impressive views of the sea or mature gardens.
Designed to provide the utmost in luxury, Villa Mango Bay is often chosen as a perfect spot for private, intimate events, large family gatherings, and group trips by very discerning travelers. It delivers up the very best that the island has to offer and all in a historic and beautiful setting.
Swimming is not possible directly in front of house as there is a small reef but excellent swimming to the south or north of property.
