The Villa was absolutely perfect! It was very low key yet accommodating and had an understated elegance. The location cannot be beat. The beach was amazing! The water is extremely clear and calm. Perfect for relaxing! Shops and restaurants are a quick ride away.
The service at the villa was five star! Cheryl and Angela were outstanding! The meals that were prepared and served were excellent. It didn’t make sense to dine anywhere else. Our meals were always better when prepared by Cheryl.
We had an amazing week at Westhaven and highly recommend it.

Westhaven
Caribbean / Barbados / Gibbes Beach
Westhaven is a two-story, luxurious, beachfront villa located on the world renowned Gibbs Beach; a white, sandy beach lapped by the calmer blue Caribbean warm waters on the West Coast of Barbados.
Overview
A 5-minute drive north of the property brings you to the heart of Speightstown, once referred to as 'Little Bristol'. This historic little town offers miscellaneous shopping with the most delightful quaint and casual sea view restaurants tempting visitors with their local Caribbean flavoured cuisine. Arlington House can be found nestled in the heart of the town. This is a 'must see' interactive museum with audio visual features of 'Old Barbados'.
Lush manicured gardens welcome you to Westhaven through a gateway opening onto the pool deck and instantly offering a breathtaking sea view. The pool is surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and the trickling water feature compliments the soothing sounds of the lapping waves. White beach loungers can be taken down to the seashore through the private direct access to Gibbs Beach. Serene, turquoise, crystal waters provide the perfect atmosphere for swimming, snorkeling and various water sport activities. Gibbs Beach meets Mullins Beach to the north allowing for romantic strolls or brisk walks.
For relaxation and entertainment there is an indoor living room on the ground floor, outfitted with flat-screen television complete with cable. The living area opens onto the spacious patio where you can enjoy the day's memories sipping cocktails while being amazed by the glorious colors of the sunset. The patio also offers formal dining with superb sea views or you may opt to choose al fresco dining on the pool deck. The kitchen features a large window that opens outwards to the dining area, making it convenient to serve meals, snacks and refreshing beverages throughout the day. Delicious fresh meals are prepared by the villa's chef throughout your visit.
All bedrooms at Westhaven have outdoor patios, air-conditioning, and en suite bathrooms. The villa can accommodate valuables in its two safes. One bedroom suite, number 4, is located on the ground floor while the other three bedroom suites are on the first floor. The master and bedroom number 2 suite share a balcony overlooking the outstanding uninterrupted view of Gibbs Bay. The smaller balconies of bedroom number 3 and number 4 offer delightful garden views. The master bedroom is equipped with cable television viewing.
Westhaven offers you privacy, peace and everything you need to for a relaxing holiday with near-perfect weather throughout the year.

Reviews
I would highly recommend Westhaven. This was a splurge for us and we were nervous that we would arrive and it wouldn’t be what we expected. However this villa and the staff exceeded our wildest dreams. The villa location is the best on the beach and the staff made us feel spoiled. We extended our stay three days while we were there because we couldn’t beat to leave paradise!
