Which Coast Is The Most Popular For A
Barbados Luxury Vacation?
When
planning a luxury vacation in Barbados visitors tend to choose The
Platinum West Coast. This coast has the most
beatuiful blue lagoon
waters, powder-white sandy beaches and the most lavish amenities.
This is Barbados' premier coast failing to disappoint and
keeping the rich longing for more.
However the south coast of Barbados should not be ruled out as an
option as it does have a handful of popular luxury hotels including The
Crane Resort and The Hilton Barbados Hotel.
Climb Aboard Your Private Jet
A great start to any Barbados luxury vacation is a top class plane ride
to the island. The best way to experience this is aboard a
private jet
charter flight.
Barbados private
jet charter flights are definitely the most comfortable way to travel
to Barbados. These private jets are spacious with leather seats and a
friendly crew to serve you.
They also provide you with peace of mind.
You won't have to worry about a commercial airline losing your luggage
as they tend to do these days. Your bags will be the only bags aboard
your private jet. You also won't have to worry about that
annoyingly
long wait for your luggage to be taken off the aircraft and placed on
the bagagge claim conveyor belt.
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to own a private jet to fly
to Barbados in one. You can simply rent one.There are a number of
private jet chartering companies with a fleet of luxury aircrafts that
you can arrange this through.
Whiz Through The Airport!
Now
that you have safely arrived in luxurious comfort and style aboard your
private charter jet why wait hours to get through customs and
immigration in the airport?
You want to get your Barbados luxury vacation started as soon as
possible!
Now
the fastest way to get out of the airport is by using a Barbados luxury
concierge service. This can usually be arranged through your private
charter flight company or an independent local service.
Through such a service, a representative will meet you in the arrivals
terminal and escort you and your family through immigration.
This will
mean you won't have to wait in line like everyone else.
You will then collect your luggage, which will only take a minute or
two since you took a private jet, and be escorted through customs and
out of the airport.
Sounds pretty sweet doesn't it?
You can also use a concierge service at the end of your Barbados luxury
vacation for a relaxing departure back home from the island.
Off To Your Barbados Luxury Accomodation in Style
Now that you have made it to Barbados safe and sound and you have been
escorted through the airport arrivals with your bags in hand, it is
time to head off to your Barbados luxury accommodation.
You have two choices here. You can either arrange an
exclusive
Barbados luxury limosuine / car to pick you up or have your
Barbados
luxury rental car waiting for you outside the airport.
If you choose to be chauffeured to your accommodation by luxury airport
pickup, you can have a concierge service arrange it.
If you prefer to
drive yourself and want to have a vehicle during your stay you can book
your luxury rental car and have it ready when you arrive.
I Want To Stay Where The Rich And
Famous Stay!

I consider the most important part of a luxury vacation in Barbados to
be where you choose to stay. No matter where you are
travelling too if
you choose the wrong place to stay your vacation could be very
far from
luxurious. You therefore are going to want to stay at either
a
respected luxury Barbados hotel or Barbados luxury vacation villa.
When choosing a luxury
hotel in Barbados , some of you may want to
stay where the wealthy do for their Barbados luxury vacation.
Well as you know most stars choose world famous, exclusive Barbados
luxury hotels and there is no other luxury hotel on the island that
keeps Barbados in the spot light of the rich and famous like The Sandy
Lane Barbados Spa and Golf Resort.
The
Sandy Lane Hotel is undoubtedly the #1 choice by the wealthiest
vacationers the island has been honoured to entertain.
This luxury resort is featured in almost every Caribbean
luxury travel
magazine and has hosted the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt as
well as David Bechkam and Posh Spice.
But the most notable visit this Barbados luxury resort has seen was in
October of 2004. This was when world champion golfer Tiger
Woods
decided to book the entire resort for his wedding to swedish model Elin
Nordegren!
The Sandy Lane Hotel is a 5 Diamond AAA rated Barbados hotel and
currently is the most expensive hotel on the island averaging rates of $1,200 USD a night and up.
The luxury hotel has a spa, 4 restuarants and 5 bars.
It also has 3
golf courses including the famous Green Monkey Golf Course and The
Country Club Course, where the 2006 Golf World Championship was hosted.
There are a number of other Barbados
luxury resorts along The Platinum west coast of the island
that you could choose from to enjoy your Barbados luxury vacation.
The most noteable of these are owned by British multi-millionaire
hotelier Michael Pemberton. Michael has established himself
in
Barbados as one of the greatest investors in the island's Tourism
industry. He has a collection of Barbados luxury
hotels under his
belt.
These
include The Fairmont Royal Pavilion Hotel. This is a
convenient choice if you are a member
of The Fairmont President's Club.
The Royal Pavilion is a 4 Diamond AAA rated Barbados luxury resort with
72 oceanfront guest rooms feauturing private balconies and terraces.
This luxury hotel has 2 restaurants with oceanviews and offers guest
complimentary afternoon tea at the poolside. Royal
Westmoreland Championship Golf Course
is nearby where guests can book tee off times through the
hotel. This
is one of the island's premier 18 hole golf courses at par 72 and 6,870
yards.
One downside of The Royal Pavilion Hotel as compared to Sandy Lane
Hotel is that there is no on site spa.
If
you do decide to stay on the south coast of the island, The Crane Hotel
is the top choice for a south coast Barbados luxury vacation.
The
Crane Hotel is a 5 star Barbados luxury resort set atop a cliff
overlooking the ocean and sandy white Crane beach. This
Barbados luxury
hotel is situated at the southern tip of the island.
The hotel has a great design resembling a large, majestic castle with
its tall Roman style columns.
You can choose between the resort's 1887 Resort Apartments or its
Private Residences. If you want the ultimate in Barbados
luxury the
private residences are the choice for you.
These
oceanview private residences come with handcrafted mahogany furniture,
four poster king size beds, multi head spa showers, private jacuzzis,
marble bathrooms and much more.
However the most amazing feature of these residences are their
private plunge pools.
These plunge pools are located in the towers of the luxury resort and
provide you with a romantic lookout over the cliff top into the ocean.
But
remember, you need to book one of the upstairs two-bedroom private
residences to enjoy a private tower plunge pool at The Crane. This
makes a great choice for enjoying a romantic luxury Barbados vacation.
Last,
but not the least, I would like to mention The Hilton Barbados Hotel.
The
Hilton Hotel chain has established itself as top
notch in the luxury hotel industry.
The
Hilton Hotel in Barbados is a 5 star beachfront Barbados luxury
resort located at one of the most beautiful beach points on the
island's south coast.
This hotel is great for families wanting to experience a Barbados
luxury vacation with their kids.
The hotel has all of the ameneties and services that the Hilton chain
is known for such as spa treatments, oceanview dinning, waterfalls and
an infinity pool.
But it also has a Kidz Paradise Club offering baby sitting services so
you and your hubbie can get away when you need too.
The
most luxurious rooms at this Barbados luxury hotel are The Suites.
These guest rooms offer a separate living room area, 2 separate
bathrooms and 2 balconies.
The
master bedroom has a separate private balacony while its bathroom has a
a Jacuzzi tub.
So
if you are looking to enjoy Barbados luxury with the kids, while
keeping it a tad cheaper by not staying on the island's Platinum West
Coast, don't rule out The Hilton Barbados.
So those are 4 of the best luxury resorts in Barbados that you can
spend your Barbados luxury vacation relaxing at. However
there are a
handful of other smaller Barbados
luxury hotels you can choose from along both the west coast
and south coast of the island.
Enjoy The Privacy of A Luxury
Barbados Vacation Villa
A
more intimate way to enjoy a Barbados luxury vacation is by
relaxing in your own private Barbados luxury villa.
There
are a large number of luxury villas in Barbados ranging from large 10
bedroom private villas to smaller 2 and 3 bedroom
villas.
For
those looking to go all out, large exclusive, beachfront villas in
Barbados offer you the ultimate in luxury pampering with a staff of
butlers, cooks, maid services and night security. These
villas have
unbelievable panaromic ocean views and amazing lush grounds.
The
most popular luxury villa in Barbados is Cove Spring House.
This 18,000 sq foot, 10 bedroom oceanfront mansion is located on a
coral stone cliff on the island's Platinum west coast. There
is a large main house with enormous coral stone columns. This
main
house has 7 bedrooms. There is also an adjacent villa
in the garden
with 3 bedrooms allowing the villa to accommodate a total of 20 guests!
Some
features of this luxury villa include a small secluded beach, a 20 seat
air conditioned cinema, jacuzzi bathtubes in 4 of the 10 bathrooms, a
fully equipped gym and beach Catamaran pick up.
The villa also has a heated half moon swimming pool and a 10
person hot tub facing the Caribbean Sea.

Spring House is fully staffed with chefs, maids, gardeners,
night
security and this is all looked after for you by a personal house
manager.

Another
popular luxury villa in Barbados you can stay at is The Sandy Lane
Villa. This
villa is located adjacent to the spa at The Sandy Lane Hotel.

is much smaller than Cove Spring House at 7,300 sq feet, with

courtyard of the villa. There is also a gazebo where you can
dine in
the open air.
Like Cove Spring this villa is equipped
with a full staff to serve your every need. This includes a villa
coordinator, house keeper, chef and security at night.
All of the amenities of the luxurious Sandy Lane Hotel will also be
available to you including access to the hotel's spa and golf courses.

Barbados luxury vacation, rates range from $9,000 to $25,000 USD per
