Find luxury Prospect villa rentals on Barbados' beautiful west coast
Barbados’ west coast is the most popular part of the island for holidaymakers, and for good reason. Nicknamed the ‘Platinum Coast’ for its miles of white sand beaches that glitter along the coastline like diamonds, this part of the island is home to some of the most wonderful attractions in the Caribbean. It is also where you will find Prospect, a small, serene, and idyllic beachfront paradise away from the hustle and bustle of the busier hotspots of St James.
A stay in our beautiful Prospect villas puts you right in the heart of St James. These mid-sized villas sleep up to 6 people and have epic views of the Caribbean Sea, as well as brilliant amenities such as private pools, in-home staff, and direct beach access.
There is a beach at Prospect. Simply known as Prospect Beach, it is a small, secluded and peaceful spot. Prospect Beach rarely gets crowded, even in the peak summer months. The sea at Prospect Beach is calm and warm, perfect for leisurely swims or snorkeling on the vibrant reef.
Prospect is 15 miles from the Grantley Adams International Airport. It takes about 30 minutes from the airport to Prospect.
December through March is the best time to visit Prospect for fabulous weather and plenty of local events and festivities.

There is something very special about having access to a pool while on vacation, particularly somewhere with a warm climate such as Barbados. In our Prospect villas with pools, you can enjoy the relaxing experience of an early morning dip, and lazy day by the water, or a sunset swim as day turns to night and the Caribbean sky is set ablaze by the light of billions of twinkling stars. Our vacation rentals in Prospect are resort based and have access to communal pools and hot tubs included with a villa booking.
