About this property

Stunning contemporary villa with incredible views over the Barbados West Coast

Perched on a ridge overlooking Barbados's magnificent West Coast, 'Ignorant Bliss' is truly that. Enter this villa, and you somehow forget that the world exists. The stunning modernist architecture combined with a carefully curated selection of contemporary furniture and interior details is offset against one of the most spectacular natural views Barbados has to offer. A pool with an infinity edge leads directly off the double-height living space, which opens out onto wraparound living and dining areas. While intimate, the villa comfortably accommodates two families and has large entertaining spaces. Indoors meet outdoors in a seamless flow. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space is on the main floor with double-height ceilings. Tall sliding doors open onto the infinity pool with incredible wraparound views of the West Coast and a mahogany forested gulley below. There are ample outdoor living and dining spaces, a deck area and a gas BBQ grill. Another bedroom and bathroom with easy access from the entrance are located on the ground floor.

All bedrooms have air conditioning and fans. The principal suite is spectacular; a whimsical four-poster bed sits resplendent in a large air-conditioned room with a sitting area, ensuite bathroom and a private balcony to watch the breathtaking sunsets. Two further bedrooms are located on the lower floor, and there are two full bathrooms, one ensuite. There is a bonus room - perfect for 'home' working. Superfast WiFi is available throughout the property.

The elevated position takes advantage of the refreshingly cool breezes. It may be the answer for anyone looking for a super cool and secret retreat in the heart of the Caribbean.

Paul was super helpful and attentive. It was nice to have someone meet us at property. And he had some basics in the fridge for us which ended up being a godsend, as our taxi to take us for supper never arrived. Thank you for everything.

Simply spectacular

We had a fantastic stay at the villa. Danielle was always available via whatsapp and super accommodating with any requests we had before and during our stay. She welcomed us upon arrival, making check-in a breeze. The villa is simply spectacular - spacious and with all the amenities you need for a wonderful stay. The infinity pool has an incredible view of the sea & sunset. Perfectly located a few minutes from the beach, restaurants, bars, and surrounded by green. I couldn't reccommend this more.

Lovely property, looks exactly as pictures show, very clean, communication with owner Malcolm was always speedy, easy and clear! We were so grateful for his flexibility. Property manager Paul in Barbados was very responsive, dealt with a few issues quickly. Our family of 6 adults enjoyed our stay at Ignorant Bliss, 8 days; midweek clean was appreciated. Mattresses were comfortable for our bunch. Outdoor furniture in great condition with super shaded and sunny areas, indoor seating best for 6. Of note, walk to beach/Thunder Bay beach bar is 15min, easy walk down though hill coming up, worked for us though. Island now has rideshares uBer and PickUp Barbados for those not renting vehicles. We used these often! Note that minimal amenities are provided – dishsoap, salt/pepper, shampoo, etc.; be sure to pickup with grocery; 10 minute drive or 20 uBer. TV is not Smart for Chromecast or mirroring, bring cables. Main area does not have A/C though bedroom ones working well. Breezes throughout house are wonderful when all is open, bugs weren’t a problem unless wind was low. Daily views and sunsets were wonderful, monkeys on property were fun to spot! Thank you for this stay!
