See Shells on the Sea Shore

The ideal spot for a little paradise getaway, this Barbados haven ticks all the boxes. Nestled next to Dover beach, this two-storey apartment is filled with tranquil artwork and beautifully elegant furnishings to ensure that you feel completely at home. A Caribbean feel is tastefully created in each room with natural materials and beach-theme accents. Step out of the ground floor bedroom, onto the patio and you can sit with your morning cuppa and your holiday read as the sun warms your skin. For a little respite from the heat, head through the gardens to the communal pool where the cool waters will be a welcome relief. For those who prefer to stay active rather than enjoy a laid-back holiday vibe, there’s an on-site fitness centre, so you can even squeeze in a workout.

If you can tear yourself away from the pool, pack your beach bag and take the short stroll to the white sands of Dover beach for an afternoon of sipping cocktails and watching watersports. While you may choose to indulge in the famous St Lawrence Gap to enjoy some local cuisine and nightlife aplenty, if you fancy heading home, a tranquil sea-view balcony awaits – all you need is a bottle of wine and some nibbles to share.
