An archway frames the clear waters and white-pink sand of the Platinum Coast just outside this classic Barbados apartment retreat. Private outdoor living areas showcase sunset views, and 2 beaches are practically at the villa’s doorstep, along with a shared resort-style pool. It’s a short drive to other popular beaches on the island’s west side and to oceanfront restaurants up and down the coast.

Catch breezes coming off the Caribbean Sea from a covered alfresco living area with plenty of seating and outdoor dining, cool off in the adjacent private plunge pool, and serve refreshments made with local rum from the wet bar. Step down to ground level to swim in the shared free-form pool, work out in the community gym, or stroll along the beaches.

The alfresco living area is doubled by the apartment’s open-concept great room. Open the slide-away glass wall to let the sound of the tide waft over the sitting area and a breakfast bar that leads to a fully equipped kitchen. While there’s plenty of island charm, from coral-print pillows to dark-wood accents, there are also more contemporary touches, like the state-of-the-art kitchen fixtures.

The white sand, turquoise water, and palm, tamarind, and mahogany trees make Sandy Cove an idyllic spot. If you’re keen to see more of the gorgeous scenery along the coast, drive to Paynes Bay Beach; if you’d like to play a round or two, there are several golf courses nearby.
