Located on high ground overlooking eastern Barbados, this 1700’s sugar cane plantation offers a retreat experience far from the maddening tourist crowd. Three separate and distinct villas dot the Plantation House grounds which is now a tropical garden. Each villa offers its own flavor of private, family-style living with open floorplans and full kitchens surrounded by a horticulturalist’s paradise
– organic gardens, fruit trees, flowers, birds and even the plantation monkeys. The Barn sits beside the coral swimming pool. The View sits overlooking the Atlantic over the foreground of cane fields. The Cottage is nestled in the branches of banana and mango orchards. Your British host has transformed a former Zoo into a botanical haven complete with fruiting trees, organic gardens and flowering vegetation everywhere. Open floor plans offer a unique connection with the ocean breezes and the natural settings. Far from the madding crowd, you will find respite in a local charming culture and a quiet countryside pace. This is the Barbados that few get to see. If you desire a true historical getaway, isolated from tourists in a bucolic, natural setting; if you desire the texture of simplicity and being “unplugged” ; if you desire a retreat from the crowds after going to the beach or local market; then you desire Oughterson Villas. Your host is Peter, raconteur and your guide to the “forgotten coast” – the eastern coast of Barbados.
