The House by Elegant Hotels

Tranquillity, elegance and affability embrace you here from the moment you cross the wooden bridge over the fragrant waterlily lake.

Upon arrival, you will be introduced to your personal Ambassador, who will be your genial butler, concierge and Caribbean host combined, for the duration of your visit. With its emphasis on informality, the trappings of a conventional hotel are rendered unnecessary; there is no reception, concierge desk or officialdom here - The House would like you to treat it as your own relaxed private residence when on your stay in Barbados.

Peace and privacy underpin all. Modern and contemporary décor blends with classic spacious Caribbean taste to lend the 34 Junior and one-bedroom suites a chic and quiet sophistication. All suites offer serene garden or ocean views from their private balconies. The elegant one-bedroom suites are particularly generous, featuring separate living rooms for additional personal space and all rooms also feature Nespresso machines.

The charmed and graceful ambience continues out into the swimming pool and Jacuzzi area, onto the white sand beach where guests are pampered with water, treats and iced fruit. There is also a selection of complimentary motorised and non-motorised water sports available.

This all-inclusive resort offers a champagne breakfast, served out in the lounge and lunch on the open-air deck overlooking the beach and ocean, while evening dining is to be found in the grounds of The House, chez Daphne's. The sister restaurant to Daphne's of Chelsea, London, this is a favourite amongst guests who enjoy priority dinner reservations, an intimate ambience and excellent modern Italian cuisine, in a truly idyllic beachside setting.
