Villa Nova - Barbados
A luxury tropical home
Villa Nova at Barbados

Villa Nova is closed from June 1, 2005 as it is in the process of being sold.

The elegance and charm of a luxury tropical home within the walls of a historic and stately house, Villa Nova is one of the last remaining Great Houses of Barbados. A grand plantation house built with hand-cut coral stone in 1834 and set in 15 walled acres of tropical forest and lush gardens, it sits atop the verdant hills of the island's breathtaking East Coast. Surrounded by sugar, banana and mango plantations where the cane is still hand cut, the house was a home and a retreat for statesmen, royalty and the stars of stage and screen.

It re-opened in April 2001 to international acclaim after a multi-million dollar refurbishment and renovation to restore its grand colonial heritage while bringing its facilities and services up to and beyond the standards demanded by discerning travellers.

A team of internationally renowned experts worked together to ensure the ambience, decor, facilities and cuisine would be unrivalled while maintaining the unique character and charm of the house. To ensure its guests would feel both pampered and relaxed, the management and staff were handpicked for their cheerful friendliness, experience and attention to guests' needs.
