Bohemia Villa

Description

Bohemia Villa is a majestic abode, set in sweeping, luscious grounds, overlooking the sparkling ocean from Cooper Hill, in the exclusive Sandy Lane enclave on the west coast. This home's pristine facade is a dazzling white, with a regal feel: wonderful white pillared cloisters lead to the tropical gardens.

Bohemia Villa oozes bright, upbeat Caribbean ease and playful hints, as well as being infinitely elegant, along with artisanal touches and local raw materials. Sandy Lane is a prestigious spot, and this lavish, yet airy, home offers a peerless setting from which to enjoy the island.

Styled according to the Barbadian Plantation House, with its formal solid structures, wrap-around verandahs, plantation shutters and classical detailing, Bohemia also comes with a twist; vibrant colours, lavish ornamentation and unapologetic decadent style.

A large open-plan kitchen is accented with a vivid cobalt blue, granite work surfaces, state-of-the-art fittings and the hallmark dazzling white pillars, filled with natural day light. Whether it be a relaxed breakfast at the breakfast bar, post dinner drinks at the mahogany drinks bar or a sea-food lunch overlooking the vibrant gardens amid the sedate wicker seating and bright aqua and white padding, dining will be a delight.

A formal dining room with solid, glossy polished mahogany dining set is finished with gilded frames and an enchantingly regal feel, whilst the open plan living spaces are awe-inspiring in their sleek, lavish proportions, offering distinguished formality alongside playful contemporary touches; eclectic modern art, pool table and local artefacts.

Eight guests can be accommodated across five bedrooms; each of these has unique characterful flair, from the opulent “Versace” room to the room with pineapple carvings in the four poster beds, these spaces leave a smile on guest's faces.

There is a wonderful, playful flamboyance to Bohemia. With the clue in the name, this is a home with a difference, daringly expressive and decadently grandiose, whilst the luscious outdoors boast both ocean views and an infinity pool. Italian big-name designers merge with local carved hand-made pieces, and striking art.

A glamorous home, Bohemia Villa will excite and inspire, perched on a dramatic spot with ocean views, it is an idyll of style, prestige and serenity.

#### Location
Bohemia Villa is nestled in a premium position in the very exclusive West Coast of Barbados, also known as the “platinum coast” for its pristine beaches and turquoise waters. Despite this region being developed with high-end hotels and stately private residences to an international jet-set, its coast remains one of the most beautiful Barbados has to offer. With the recent development of extensive boardwalks, visitors can enjoy spectacular sunset strolls with the glittering sea as their companion.

The Sandy Lane Hotel is an iconic spot drawing a star-studded clientele, whilst Sandy Lane Beach in St James is one of the region's finest beaches. Ideal for swimming, and snorkelling, tropical sea life and sea turtles can be spotted, whilst opportunities for kayaking and paddle boarding are abundant.

Bohemia Villa is ideally positioned, offering both tranquil seclusion as well as being within walking distance to the prestigious Sandy Lane Golf Course and the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre which comprises upscale boutiques, spas and fine dining.

In contrast, a visit to the historical Holetown will offer a taste of local flavour. The Chattel village has a more artisanal flavour, offering local crafts, art and jewellery. The Chattel houses offer a striking contrast to the colonial residences with their dazzling white coral facades and open verandas; the former are vividly coloured with fancy gables and gingerbread fretwork. The Chattel houses date back to plantation days; the small wooden shacks were designed to be movable, yet this didn't limit their decorative charm; finished in candy pinks and pistachio greens with pretty shutters and sloping roofs.

Within close proximity to Bohemia, visitors can enjoy the fine culinary art at Tides Restaurant for something a little special, or Zaccios for informal pizza lunches with the kids. The west coast offers everything from rum cocktails at the bar to Thai cuisine or local Bajan fare. A culinary experience here takes influences from African, Caribbean, West Indian and European gastronomy for something a little unique. Known for its rum tradition, started circa 370 years ago, the island is brimming with tours of the world's oldest rum.

Barbados is a place of contrasts, from movie-star hedonism to cane-cutting village life and artisanal fare; from fishing villages to dramatic, rugged Atlantic coastlines - visitors will enjoy a vivacious diversity within a very accessibly-sized island. A unique blend of vibrant, local life and colonial-influenced afternoon teas alongside cricket matches on the green!
