The Christ Church Parish region


Christ Church is the southernmost parish of Barbados, with stunning beaches and a very warm welcome extended to visitors. Christ Church is a dream destination for nature lovers and those who wish to laze in the glorious sunshine on fine, white, sandy beaches with a rum cocktail. Bridgetown, the capital, is just 15km away.
Christ Church is the island's fishing centre so there are plenty of opportunities to catch a trophy fish. There are many fishing charters available from Oistins, and there are also frequent opportunities to go scuba diving on the coral reefs which surround the island.
The most lively tourist area, St Lawrence Gap, has a good variety of bars and clubs and is about 2 miles away. Some of the best restaurants on the island are situated in ‘The Gap’!
Whether you are looking for a heavenly summer holiday or looking to escape the winter blues, this is the place to go. With seasonal variations of just 2°C, whatever time of year you decide to go, average temperatures are going to hover around the 30°C mark.......and remember the average sea temperature is a gorgeous 28°C!
Golfing holidays: Fodor's 'Caribbean 2006' travel guide says of Barbados... 'Golfers can choose from among some of the best championship courses in the Caribbean.' Sunny weather all year round makes Barbados an ideal location for golf and the perfect vacation spot for golfers and 'would-be' golfers! The glorious weather conditions are complemented by world-class golf courses and facilities. Most golf clubs offer professional instruction.
Closest to Calypso is the Barbados Golf Club which is located at Durants in Christ Church (1.5 miles from the house). 'The 18 hole golf course features two “Returning Nines” which finish into a expansive and unique triple green that wrap seamlessly around a lake.' The 6,805 yard par 72 links style golf course features gently rolling hills and wide open fairways.
Other golf courses on the island include the famous Sandy Lane golf course and the Royal Westmoreland.
The Enterprise Coast area
Enterprise beach is also known as Paradise Beach in recognition that this is one of the finest beaches in the region. Largely sheltered, sea conditions are ideal, with warm still waters perfect for swimming all year round. If you are looking for crowded beaches and loud bars, Enterprise is not the answer!
This is a truly romantic spot, where peace and quiet perfectly compliments the perfect scenery. Bajan’s celebrate Enterprise as one of their best kept secrets, as the beach is perfect for families, with safe swimming, wide expanses of soft sand and plenty of shade from the sun. Sun loungers, body boards and fresh fruit are available to rent on the beach and there is a refreshments stall selling beers, soft drinks and snacks.

Delighted with the Villa. A little out of the way though. Needed a car even though we were told we didn't. No essential supply basket on arrival as promised. My elderly but quite agile mother... more |

"Calypso was truly a home away from home and I would stay again and have already recommended it to my friends."
Jill, London
"The villa is ideal for 2 or 4 people, is new and tastefully and comfortably furnished. It is also very well kitted out with everything you would need. It has a lovely, if small, garden with a nice patio for sitting out in the evening."
Dave &Rosie
"I loved the home, me and my wife felt as though we were in Heaven. The Beach was literally two minutes down from our home and the clubs were 10 minutes away. We had a blast and I would love to come back. Matter of fact every time I go to Barbados, this is were I will be staying."
Desmond, USA
"My partner and have both been to Barbados many times before and we were always looking for a comfortable, relaxing & convenient place to stay, well we have found it!!!!!
It was really easy dealing directly with the owners and we appreciated their directions, helpful suggestions etc that they emailed to us. The condo was absolutely spotless, simple and tasteful decor, a very well appointed kitchen with everything would might need from garlic press to a blender for those all important frozen drinks! "
