Escape to a Caribbean paradise

With its luxury villas and world-class facilities, Royal Westmoreland's exclusive estate on the beautiful island of Barbados is the perfect holiday destination.

And to strengthen Royal Westmoreland’s position as the premier luxury golf resort in the Caribbean, owner John Morphet is investing US$500m to purchase the neighbouring 250 acre Lancaster sugar cane plantation, on which he will build 250 new properties and 10 acres of luxury retail development.

The development is in association with Tunnell-Spangler Walsh and Associates, with a second 18-hole championship golf course with new clubhouse, designed by Rees Jones.

As part of this extraordinary investment, Morphet has also purchased the famous Mullins Beach Bar and Suga Suga Spa, which are being completely refurbished to form a stunning new beach club for Royal Westmoreland villa owners and renters.

Indulgence Spa (formerly Suga Suga), situated next to Mullins Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in Barbados, offers a unique and secluded environment featuring a waterfall pool, five therapy rooms, a nail studio, air-conditioned lounge, Spa Café, Sky TV and internet access. Members and guests will be able to enjoy full day and half day luxury spa programmes at Indulgence Spa and a full personal service at Mullins Beach on the glorious Platinum Coast.

With a choice of villa rental opportunities available for guests there has never been a better time to escape to the Caribbean! Light, spacious, elegant and supremely comfortable, Royal Westmoreland’s luxurious Caribbean-colonial style villas are beautifully designed to make the most of Barbados’ perfect year-round climate.

Discretely set within fabulous mature gardens, ablaze with a tapestry of colour, and adorned in most instances by a private pool, they combine superb outdoor living space and magnificent views, with cool, expansive interiors offering the ultimate retreat. All are equipped to the very highest standards and come with a dedicated housekeeper, to assist with daily tasks, and optional chef.

As for neighbours, you’ll be in excellent company. Successful Ryder Cup Golf Captain Ian Woosnam, ex-soccer star Gary Lineker, several Test cricketers and many ‘Captains of Industry’ from the UK, Ireland, Canada and the USA, are amongst many luminaries who have purchased homes on the estate.

John Morphet commented, “It is quite simple, really. Royal Westmoreland is the premier golf resort in the Caribbean and I intend it to stay that way. 36 of the best holes of golf in the world, our own beach club, bar and spa and another 250 acres on which to build luxury villas will ensure the matter stays beyond doubt for years to come,”

Jacob Hassid, Managing Director of leading Barbados luxury retailer Diamonds International, has been equally enthusiastic. “Our sales of global luxury brands such as Breitling, Cartier and Chopard are really booming in Barbados and this is really exciting news. We have a lot of Royal Westmoreland owners and visitors already as customers at Diamonds International and we will certainly be talking to John [Morphet] about his new development.”
