Crystal Springs

Sleeps up to 16

Originally a simple beach house, Crystal Springs was transformed by Oliver Messel during the 1960s into an outstanding estate. This elegant villa is much sought after by families and friends seeking a spectacular setting for a memorable holiday.

Set in over two acres of grounds resembling a botanical garden, Crystal Springs is one of the largest villas for rental in Barbados and has an enviable setting just above a secluded and very private sandy cove. The accommodation is extensive and classically exhibits Messel’s trademark of bringing together house and garden in harmony. This is perfectly demonstrated in the formal dining terrace which has pillars and arches that open onto the garden and a Roman fountain. A glorious 14 m swimming pool, set within a grass terrace, is located near a romantic dining terrace on the cliff ’s edge. Steps lead to a secluded beach cove below, where a Sunfish sail boat is for guests’ use.

Guest Book

"We love the romantic sandy cove that can only be acessed through Crystal Springs. The whole estate has a magical garden party feel, with many secret shady spots, ideal for sitting with a cooling mint julep and a cracking novel."

Destination introduction

With an almost uninterrupted, six mile stretch of white sand beach, St James truly is Barbados’s ‘Platinum Coast’. Famous for its beachfront mansions, pristine beaches and luxury hotels, St James incorporates the majority of the island’s west coast and is home to three of Barbados’s world famous private estates – Sandy Lane, Royal Westmoreland and Sugar Hill – with their championship golf courses and facilities. The area’s commercial centre is Holetown, a charming area with fine restaurants and shopping. Directly to the south of Holetown are Sandy Lane Beach and the Paynes Bay area extending down to Fitts Village, Derricks and Prospect. ‘The Garden’ is an exclusive enclave to the north of Holetown, by Lower Carlton and Weston.
