Aside from the miles of pristine white sandy shores, beautifully clear blue waters and being home to one of the World’s best known festivals, Barbados offers escapes for couples seeking some time away from our all so busy 21st century lives. Our hand picked ( and recently visited) selection of couples escapes in Barbados feature a range of intimate cosy types and laid back luxury.
Cobblers Cove is located on the less compacted west coast on its own small beach. A family owned property with an English quaint country decor ( think duck egg blue’s, crisp white linen and clean yet very homely) tied with excellent low key but every whim catered to service and you are starting to build the right picture. Beautifully manicured gardens and a sea view pool creates the tranquil atmosphere. It is also very much worth noting that Cobblers Cove are big on their food- so much so their new chef trained under Michel Roux Jnr and is the owner of many prestigious foodie awards. The hotel also runs a boat service to other west coast restaurants such as the infamous Daphnes, Tides Restaurant or for a local beach bar- Mullins.
The House is a contemporary, elegant and intimate ( only 34 rooms) boutique hotel set on the white sandy beach. The service at The House offers an exceptionally personal approach, such as your jet lag massage on arrival, whilst still giving you feeling of beach side chic. An open decking area meeting the beach provides the perfect backdrop for sunset cocktails before moving to a cabana on the beach for your evening meal. Daphne’s Restaurant is situated next door – One of the finest dining options in Barbados.
