Villa Tenby

Discover Luxury at Villa Tenby: A Reimagined East Coast in Barbados

Villa Tenby, a unique property situated on one of the most picturesque stretches of Barbados’ Atlantic coastline, combines breathtaking views of the ocean with a private, four-acre playground that is ideal for families, friends, and design enthusiasts. This historic address, which was originally a guesthouse in the 19th century and then became the 40-room Edgewater Hotel, has been painstakingly restored as a private residence with four bedrooms. It features original coral-stone architecture, a warm timber stair hall, and contemporary lines. The result is a unique fusion of contemporary convenience and heritage charm, surrounded by gardens with palm trees and surf music.

The sea is always visible and audible from the four roomy bedrooms upstairs, each of which has a private balcony that captures the drama of the coast. The views are consistent but constantly shifting, from moonlit swells to sunrise blush. Inside, a calming color scheme, unique artwork, and purposefully simple furnishings create a calming and restorative atmosphere while drawing the eye outward. Comfort and privacy are guaranteed for both families and couples thanks to thoughtful lighting, roomy wardrobes, and spa-style bathrooms.

Clean geometry, ample volumes, and a seamless transition between inside and out are all hallmarks of Tenby’s design, which pays homage to the daring symmetry of Bond movies from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Native textures and lush vegetation soften these features. Everyone is encouraged to pursue their own interests in four separate outdoor areas: a games area with a pool table for friendly competitions, a riverfront pool terrace for leisurely afternoons, a south garden with a jacuzzi for leisurely mornings, and palm-filled lawns that invite barefoot exploration. The Atlantic horizon offers an endless backdrop for play and relaxation, and winding paths and shady spots make it simple to follow the sun or slip into the breeze.

Housekeeping is included in the villa’s easy-to-use design, so you can focus entirely on relaxing. A professional chef prepares one delectable meal of your choosing each day to elevate it, whether it’s breakfast to welcome the waves, a relaxed lunch by the pool, or a sophisticated candlelit dinner. Alfresco dining areas create the ideal atmosphere for lengthy, stargazing conversations, and the kitchen is fully furnished for both casual cooking and grazing in between. Organizing a significant event? Tenby welcomes private parties in the gardens; reservations for small events should be made separately.

Tenby’s rebirth incorporates sustainability. The property is powered in part by solar panels, and the house is resilient and the grounds are kept green by well-designed water management systems. Eco-conscious design and high style can coexist peacefully thanks to the meticulous transformation of a large, abandoned hotel into a low-density residence that preserves local history and lessens its impact. With only the sound of Atlantic rollers and wind-rustled palms as your background music, the villa’s remote location guarantees unobstructed views of the coast and a profound sense of seclusion.

On the East Coast, location is crucial, and Tenby takes full advantage of it. Surfers can time their paddle-outs by watching sets roll in from the terraces of the villa, which overlooks Bathsheba’s renowned Soup Bowl, perhaps the island’s most famous surf. The reef’s natural rock pools provide wonderful, protected dips when you’re craving a salt-water soak, and hikers will enjoy the coastal trails that wind along the rocky shoreline. Horseback riding and deep-sea fishing are also easily accessible. The serene beaches, shops, and dining establishments of the West Coast are about a half-hour’s drive away if you’re ready for a change of scenery.

The estate is very accommodating for families. While the acreage permits adults to curl up with a book and children to roam freely, the four spacious suites offer personal space. After a day of exploration, it’s easy to get together for games, sunset cocktails, or informal dinners thanks to the smooth indoor-outdoor flow.

Villa Tenby is a fantastic option among Barbados luxury rentals for visitors who yearn for seclusion, elegance, and a genuine feeling of place. Wander through gardens with palm trees, wake up to the untamed Atlantic, and then unwind in the jacuzzi while the stars shine. You’ll discover the East Coast at its most genuine—and opulent—with its exquisite architecture, attentive service, and limitless outdoor activities. With Haute Retreats, reserve your stay and use Tenby as the starting point for your upcoming island exploration.
