Looking for a luxury beachfront villa to enjoy with friends and family?

I have the perfect villa for you....

Located in the exclusive Garden neighbourhood of St James on fashionable West Coast of Barbados, this recently renovated villa sits within beautiful tropical gardens with the beach just steps away.

With half an acre of private grounds, this holiday property boasts the utmost privacy and magnificent views out to the crystal clear Caribbean Sea and some spectacular sunsets.

This five-bedroom luxury Barbados villa is a stunning blend of modern technology and classic Caribbean elegance. Tastefully decorated and with air conditioning throughout, the ground floor houses four of the bedrooms; two king and two twins all of which the modern gadgetry. Theirs is also a high-tech media centre with baby grand piano, home cinema as more!
The open plan kitchen and dining room comes with your very own private chef and butler who are the friendly, experienced and discreet. The second floor is reserved entirely for the master bedroom with its incredible, private wraparound balcony that offers stunning views out to sea.
If the interior of the house sounds impressive, then the idyllic outdoor living area must be seen to be believed. Luxurious daybeds are positioned around the truly impressive infinity pool with views over the West Coast. Manicured lawns adorn each side of the covered veranda and the outdoor kitchen with pizza oven, bbq and seating area are the best place to indulge in al fresco dining whilst looking out at the impressive scenery surrounding this property.

The Dream House is a beachfront property that certainly lives up to its name. It is quite possible to spend your entire holiday, start to finish, in the comfort of your villa, but if you wanted to explore the local area, you will find golf and a spa just a two-minute drive from the house. Nearby bars and restaurants, including the world famous ‘The Cliff’, will appeal to guests who want to experience sumptuous island cuisine and vibrant nightlife.

The Government is planning to announce on Friday which countries holidaymakers can travel to without needing to quarantine when they return.

It will reveal which countries will be red, amber and green under its new traffic light system once the blanket ban on non-essential travel has been lifted, which is expected to be on 17 May.

Quarantine-free travel will only be allowed to countries on the ‘green’ list, while holidaymakers returning from amber destinations will have to self-isolate at home and travel to a red country will mean quarantining in a hotel on return to the UK.

Only a tiny handful of countries are expected to be ‘green’ when travel resumes, but the Government says the lists will be updated fortnightly. More holiday destinations are expected to become green as they expand their vaccination programmes.

The travel industry had hoped the Government would reveal its initial green list last weekend, but a source close to Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Travel Gossip the announcement has now been planned for Friday.

Travel industry public relations expert Paul Charles, who has been providing his predictions on which countries will be red, amber and green on social media, said he believes the announcement will be on Friday morning.

Countries likely – but not confirmed – to make it on to the green list due to their relatively low rates of infection and extensive vaccine roll-out include Malta, Gibraltar, Iceland, Israel, but of these only Malta is open to UK holidaymakers at the moment.
Vaccinated holidaymakers might be able to use NHS appointment card as proof

Portugal might also make it on to the green list, say some analysts, and if the Government reintroduces its policy adopted last summer of different rules for islands with lower COVID rates than the mainland, which Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said is his intention, several Greek and Spanish islands could also be included.

The Foreign Office has exempted the Greek islands of Rhodes, Corfu, Crete, Kos and Zante and also the Spanish Canary Islands from its advice against non-essential travel to Greece and Spain, leading to speculation they might also be green from 17

An incredibly unique experience....

LOPUD 1483 is a lovingly restored 15th-century monastery, located on the tranquil island of Lopud, just off the coast of Dubrovnik

Monks have always had a knack for finding the most fantastic locations. The Franciscans that built a monastery in 1483 on the northern coast of the Dalmatian island of Lopud were no exception.

Influential art world figure, Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza took more than two decades to slowly and carefully restore the monastery now called LOPUD 1483.
It’s an ultra-luxurious five-suite bolthole that’s a mash-up of holiday home, exclusive residence and art gallery.
The five bedrooms’ thick stone walls and exposed wooden ceilings recall LOPUD 1483’s monastic past, while the priceless artworks from the Thyssen-Bornemisza family collection (one of the world’s most significant private art collections) offer soul-food of a different kind.

Elsewhere guests will enjoy: the beautifully planted garden; the fortress’ rooftop space, made for stargazing; the refectory in which the executive chef will serve up the most delicious meals; private boat and yacht tours of the Dalmation coast; and exclusive tours of Dubrovnik, some 10 kilometres away.
