Bougainvillea has a first-class location on the south coast, close to many of the islands attractions. Located on one end of picturesque Maxwell Beach, with over 350 metres of white sandy beachfront, and crystal clear turquoise waters. Not far from popular spots like St Lawrence Gap and Oistins, where you can find a real feel of Barbados. This beautiful resort puts you in a tropical environment that's perfect for relaxing, surrounded by lush greenery, waterfalls and rock pools and of course lots of stunning bougainvillea.

The ambiance is relaxed, so enjoys days unwinding by one of the three pools, sipping a refreshing cocktail at the swim-up bar and soaking up the sunshine. For the more active, there’s plenty of fantastic water sports to keep you entertained, or you could indulge in a rejuvenating massage at the Karma Spa and Salon.

There is a variety of suite options to choose from. All are fresh with muted white and beige tones and splashes of brightly-coloured Caribbean artwork, and all have a welll-equipped full kitchen or kitchenette.

About the location

Set on Barbados' south coast, St. Lawrence Gap probably ticks off every box on your Caribbean retreat wishlist. By day, relax on white-sand beaches and cool off with a spot of snorkelling (this area is packed with tropical fish), and when the sun goes down, embrace your inner Bajan with a night on the town. Make a beeline for The Gap (as hip as its nickname), a road lined with restaurants, rum shacks, and clubs. Tuck into a fresh fish supper, before ordering a rum punch or two and soaking up the atmosphere. For those who like to show off their moves, the nightclubs in the area play a variety of music genres, from reggae to dance. You’re only 10 minutes’ drive from Bridgetown, too, so exploring the island’s historic capital is nice and easy.
