About the location

St James, located on the west coast of Barbados, is thought of as the ritziest parish in the area, where you’ll find upscale restaurants and hotels dotting the coastline, as well as polo grounds and golf courses. It’s clean and sophisticated, boasting white sands and turquoise waters, and a result, has been nicknamed the “Platinum Coast.”

The charming town of Holetown is nearby, and offers a selection of exclusive shops, restaurants and bars, as well as a beach offering excellent snorkelling in the colourful coral reefs. If you fancy a game of golf, or boat trips along the unique coastline, there are plenty of options available nearby.
