Elsewhere is a luxury villa nestled in the Sandy Lane Estate on the Platinum Coast of Barbados. Green monkeys in the gardens, hummingbirds darting through the air, and sunsets glowing on the horizon each evening make this villa a true tropical getaway.

Breezes constantly flow through the villa’s courtyards, patios, and balconies. The exterior sprawls across two acres of ridgefront property with sweeping views, and a charming bar area overlooks the front and back gardens. The turquoise swimming pool is surrounded by daybeds and loungers, with vines growing up the nearby walkway and a series of arches leading into the outdoor living area. The upper level balcony has a shaded living area with ceiling fans, ocean views, and an al fresco dining table. There’s even a lily pond ensconced in manicured gardens on the lower level.

This vacation rental is furnished to the highest standard with soft lights, vibrant artwork, and abundant seating. Elsewhere’s amenities include parking for six cars, WiFi, a fully equipped gym, flatscreen TVs, high-quality speakers, and a top-notch security system.
