About this property

Stunning Beachfront Retreat with Pool - Hemingway House

Top architect Larry Warren's latest plantation style designed Hemingway House is tucked away between the serenity of Barbados' Gibbes Beach and the highly popular Mullins Beach.

The property offers a gorgeous and unique vantage point with Mullins Bay to the north, and the glistening, vast ocean directly in front. The two-storey retreat is finished in coral stone on both its exterior and interior with handcrafted sconces, recessed lighting, ceiling fans and air condition throughout. There is an oceanfront gazebo with a marble dining table set within the lush tropical gardens that is the perfect spot to enjoy outdoor dining. The lagoon pool borders the gazebo and is partially enclosed by a beautiful rock backdrop from which Bougainvilleas cascade. The garden's statement piece is a lovely outdoor candelabra that was a gift from the architect and it hangs beautifully from a shady tree completing this tranquil setting.

The villa's ground floor includes a fabulous "indoor/outdoor" living room/dining room which opens onto the wrap around ocean view terrace. There is a garden room bedroom overlooking the pool with a fully marbled en suite, a powder room and terrace. The ocean facing veranda offers an alfresco dining area, colourful Kilim furniture, bespoke light fixtures and finely crafted iron gates that fold back, opening the whole area to the sea and gardens.

The home also boasts a fully state of the art kitchen with a professional Wolf range and oven; Miele microwave and double oven; ice maker, a Subzero double door fridge, dish washer, a walk-in pantry and David Mellor cutlery. Adjoining the kitchen is a fully equipped bar connecting to the living room featuring two separate wine coolers that can keep different wines at appropriate temperatures; a second ice maker as well as a butler's sink. There is a laundry area off the kitchen as well as staff quarters on the outside of the property.

The first floor houses the remaining three bedrooms. The master bedroom suite spreads along the entire upper sea-facing side of the home, and features the bedroom with en suite bathroom, a walk-in dressing room and a separate study. The spacious bedroom features hard wood floors and opens onto a private wrap-around balcony with ocean, bay and pool views with comfortable lounge chairs. The perfect spot to unwind and watch the sunset on an evening.

The spacious en suite bathroom features marble floors and a C.P. Hart designed Cherry wood enclosed centre piece bath, his-and-her marble vanities with elegant self standing wooden cabinet and armchair. The spacious shower features jets and separate seating. The study is positioned between the master bedroom and en suite and both the en suite and study, offers direct access to the bedroom suite's wrap-around balcony.

The second bedroom sits beside the master suite, has a walk-in dressing room and opens onto a balcony overlooking the bay, pool and garden below. The bedroom's large family en suite has a shower and bathtub as well as his-and-hers vanity, and marble floor. The third bedroom also opens onto the balcony with views of the pool and garden and has an en suite with his-and-hers vanity and a walk-in shower room. All four bedrooms have their own televisions and Sonos sound.

This home is ideal for a large family or friends looking for a private beachfront retreat with modern amenities. Hemingway House is set on a stunning white sand beach, nestled between the quiet serenity of Gibbes Beach and the excitement of Mullins Beach - home to the Barbados' barefoot luxury beachfront eatery - Sea Shed.

Please note: There is some construction nearby, minimal noise disruption is being experienced. Construction is expected to be completed in April 2025. We're sure you will enjoy your stay.

Please note: The beach experiences seasonal fluctuations in its accessibility.

The Best Villa in Barbados

We celebrated Julius' 40th with close friends at the villa. It's one of those places that just feels like home. The rooms are so spacious and well laid out. The Primary Bedroom is ultra luxurious and has the most spectacular views. Falling asleep and waking up to the waves was ...dreamy! Vanola is a true star of the house and took care of us and Jason made some amazing food. We will return here before ... Is next weekend too soon?

A spectacular house in a truly wonderful setting capped off by the fantastic team looking after us. A very big thank you to the team. We return to the UK several kilos heavier after Elizabeth and Maurice's never-ending supply of Bajan culinary delicacies( and cocktails). A fabulous holiday! Thank You.

A huge thank you to all the incredible staff at Hemmingway house. We had the best stay with incredible views. Massive thanks to Vanola for consistently making everything better and her team. You made us feel very comfy. To Liz and Albert for the delicious delights produced at every meal ( especially the surf & turf) and for making our dietary needs so easy to manage. We will miss you. Very sad to leave.
