hideAway benefits from its own private pool and garden, complete with relaxing sun loungers, creating an ideal environment in which to relax.

Leading from the bright living room and overlooking the private garden and pool is a spacious verandah, furnished with table and chairs to enable you to enjoy the outdoors from under the cool shade. There is also a large lawned fully-fenced garden which is great for children to run around and play - safely.

The St. Philip region

HIDEAWAY is located on the beautiful south-east coast of Barbados in the parish of St Philip, close to the lovely secluded Bottom Bay beach (voted as being in The Times' and Conde Nast's top-ten best beaches in the world) with its white sands and coconut palms, which is a 2 minute stroll away. There are a number of other breathtaking bays and beaches nearby including Foul Bay, The Crane, Palmetto (Merricks), Harrismith and Sam Lords to name just a few.

With endless miles of white, powdery sand, exotic lush green botanical gardens, a rich colonial history, acres of sugar plantations and the gentle lapping of the Caribbean sea, Barbados is truly an amazing place for a holiday.

Most importantly, the Bajans are the friendliest people in the Caribbean and with excellent customer care and very little crime on the island you will be happy to explore Barbados and no doubt make a lot of new friends along the way - and they just love their cricket, you will find games (formal and informal) just about everywhere you go on the island.

It’s the most visited island in the Caribbean, with English as the first language, driving on the left, afternoon tea served daily and familiar food in all the supermarkets, you will always have a comforting feeling of home.

A holiday in Barbados can be as leisurely or as active as you wish; with beautiful beaches, interesting sightseeing trips, numerous island excursions, sailing adventures, deep sea fishing, diving opportunities, top-class restaurants, bars, night-clubs and the islands infamous Rum punch!

Barbados is blessed with 3000 hours of sunshine a year and with the north east trade winds keeping the temperature at a constant 27-30 degrees centigrade, anytime of year is a good time to visit. This climate means that Barbados has some of the best golf courses in the world.

Bridgetown has horse racing at the Garrison Savannah, cricket at the famous Kensington Oval, spectacular helicopter tours from the heliport, and submarine trips, sea fishing and boat charters from the harbour.

Polo, Horse Riding, biking and hiking are all available at various locations on the island.

Barbados is an island of festivals including: the Jazz Festival and wind surfing championships in January, Holetown Festival, Holders season and the Gold Cup in February and March, Gospelfest in May, the famous Crop Over celebrations from July to August, and the surfing championships in November, to mention just a few (I think you'll agree that there's something for everybody).

Bottom Bay / Apple Hall area

Bottom Bay beach has to be one of the best in Barbados - if not the Caribbean! And unlike the West Coast, Bottom Bay beach is often deserted, even in high season. Steps carved between the cliffs take you on to this pristine expanse of white sand, where palm trees sway in the gentle tradewinds.

WEDDINGS are very popular on this beautiful island and Bottom Bay beach has become quite "the place" to have your own personalised wedding ceremony. Many of our guests have been on the island to attend a wedding and have found hideAway the ideal place to stay.

Emerald City shopping village at Six Roads is less than 10 minutes away with supermarkets, banks, petrol station, post office and restaurant with children's play area. The large, well-stocked supermarket is open every day from 8am to 10pm except on Sundays when it closes at 3pm.


* 5 minutes from the Crane beach and resort which has 2 restaurants (Zen: Thai & Japanese and L'Azure:
modern cuisine) with beautiful views over the most amazing beach
* 10 minutes to Kendal Country Club with a lovely colonial bar, the Flying Rabbit restaurant and a lovely pool
that can be used during your visit
* 20 minutes to the South Coast (the Gap, Oistins famous fish-fry, Dover, Rockley)
* 30 minutes to the West Coast (St James, Holetown, Mullins Beach, Sandy Lane, Royal Westmoreland)

This is an ideal base from which to explore the island, and only a short drive away from many other beautiful beaches including the famous Crane Beach, voted in the Top Ten Beaches of the World.

A car is recommended to fully explore this beautiful island and all that it has to offer.
