Make yourself at home in Barbados

For your next Caribbean holiday, escape to The House – a tranquil, adults-only beachfront haven on the world-renowned west coast of Barbados 

Elegantly positioned on the white sandy coast of Barbados, The House is a tranquil oasis where you can fully relax and enjoy the barefoot luxury of the Caribbean. Here, The Club reveals five ways the hotel stands out from the crowd.

1. Service and indulgence
Visitors arrive at the hotel in style with a luxury transfer service from the airport, before enjoying a complimentary jet-lag massage in a beachside cabana. Your everyday stresses will soon be a distant memory. The next morning start your day with a decadent Champagne breakfast, enjoy finely crafted pastries at afternoon tea, and canapés before dinner. Service defines your experience at The House. A team of service ambassadors are on hand to cater to your every need. A refreshing return to personalised service awaits, where graciousness adds that extra something special to all requests.

2. Comfort and style
The hotel is right on the beach, giving you a prime view of the Caribbean Sea and the long stretch of sand alongside. There are 34 junior and one-bedroom suites to choose from, each with bespoke wooden furnishings. In the bathroom you’ll find a cascading rain shower with state-of-the-art body jets, providing the perfect start to a day of relaxation. There’s even a pillow menu, offering alternative pillow choices and guests can enjoy enhanced turn-down service that includes a selection of infused teas and ‘bedtime bites’.

3. Food and drink
As one of the most acclaimed restaurants on the island, Daphne’s takes centre stage at The House. Contemporary Italian dishes are infused with island flavours: enjoy shrimp peri peri with cous cous, and spaghetti with lobster, served in a tranquil waterfront setting. Those Champagne breakfasts and decadent afternoon teas promise to stave off hunger well into the evening.

4. Fun and games
There’s plenty to do besides recline on the beach, if you’re looking for a more lively stay. Leave the sun lounger behind and take to the waves in a variety of complimentary water-based activities. Water-skis, banana boats, Hobie Cat catamarans and sea kayaks are all on offer, with experienced staff on hand to help you get the hang of them. Or venture out of the resort and take a tour around the island in a jeep, or visit Agapey, the local artisan chocolatier.

5. Rest and relaxation
Treat yourself to a host of different spa treatments at The House’s sister hotel Tamarind, based right next door. Everything from deep-tissue massages to seaweed wraps are available, either in your room or at one of the beachside cabanas. Back at The House, lounging by the pool couldn’t be more relaxing, with dedicated ambassadors providing scented cold towels, sorbets and refreshments throughout the day.
