Ixora

Details of the Villa

Located on the scenic Royal Westmoreland Golf Course just north of Holetown, Ixora enjoys an enviable position on the western coast of Barbados. A secure, gated community, Royal Westmoreland's excellent facilities are another advantage of staying at Ixora – it includes a spa, restaurant, fitness centre and beach, as well as great amenities for children. Set in immaculate gardens, the villa is both relaxing and spacious. A covered terrace with a large dining area overlooks the beautiful pool, surrounded by sun loungers and tables and chairs with parasol shades. You can make the most of this space with a barbecue, or simply chill out with drinks in the covered seating area.Walk through the foyer and you come to the living room which opens onto the furnished terrace. This elegantly dressed space is decorated in neutral tones, adding to its light and airy feel, and offers lots of seating. Also looking out on the terrace is a large and inviting kitchen, complete with an island and a large oven and fridge freezer. There is also a graceful indoor dining area and peaceful study. There are lots of options for sleeping with four bedrooms – three of these are just off the foyer and have an en-suite bathroom and air conditioning. The fourth bedroom has these too, but is located in a separate wing of the building – with its grand four-poster bed and walk-in wardrobe, there's an element of French chic to the decor. You will be in just the right place to enjoy the tranquillity of nearby Mullins Bay, home of Royal Westmoreland's beach club, and a string of other fine beaches which lead you towards Holetown. It's only around five minutes' drive to the town's excellent restaurants, shops and nightlife, and there's plenty to do at the resort too – aside from a 72-par, 18-hole golf course, there are tennis courts, a kids' club and a fitness centre, and the location is one of the finest you could imagine. #### Features The Villa Ixora is a 4-bedroom villa that is perched on nearly an acre of beautiful gardens, just of the 16th Fairway of Royal Westmoreland Golf Course.

Aside from being a celebrity hangout, the area is famed for its beautiful white sand beaches, various golf courses and excellent dining options, as well as luxury brand shopping. One of the area's main towns, Holetown, is a good place to get acquainted with what Saint James has to offer. The Limegrove Lifestyle Centre brings shopping and entertainment together, with dozens of high-end stores, a multi-screen cinema and regular live events, from music concerts to art shows and craft fairs, while colourful Chattel village sets its shops in scenic tropical gardens. The beachfront walks are another highlight, and particularly spectacular if you happen to be there at sunset. Eateries like Zaccios and Tides occupy some of the prime ocean-view locations, and with views like those, chances are you will want to try them out. Holetown's big annual event comes around each February – the Holetown Festival is a commemoration of the first settlement on the island in 1627. It's a broad and lively celebration, encompassing everything from fashion shows and beauty contests to vintage car parades, sporting events and a Police Tattoo, and it's a great opportunity to sample Bajan delights like macaroni pie and Barbados rum. The town is also a centre for nightlife, concentrated mainly on Holetown's First and Second Streets. Cool hangouts like the Red Door Lounge prove that Barbadians know how to party, and are very happy for you to join them. Head south of the town and a string of stunning beaches like Sandy Lane and Payne's Bay await you, and it won't be long until you find yourself in Bridgetown – the historic capital city is just 11km from Holetown.
