Hey fam π Okay, I literally cannot wait another second to tell you about our latest adventure! You know how I'm always going on about finding those perfect hidden gems? Well, grab your coffee (or wine, no judging π) because THIS. IS. THE. ONE.
First, quick shoutout to my girl Angela at AwayBNB because holy moly, she knocked it out of the park with this one! Villa Prints in Barbados - just... wow!
So picture this: I'm standing there with my morning coffee (still in my PJs, btw), looking through these massive windows at the Caribbean Sea, and I literally had to pinch myself. Like, is this even real?? Emma was already in the infinity pool (at 7 AM, because obviously π), and Tom (my supposedly "not a morning person" husband) was actually SMILING before coffee. I know, shocking!
Let me give you the deets in true bestie style:
- 5 gorgeous bedrooms (we definitely didn't need all of them, but oh my gosh, the views!)
- The most Instagram-worthy infinity pool ever
- Our own private beach access (I mean, COME ON! π)
- A chef who could probably make cardboard taste amazing
- The sweetest butler named James who basically became part of the family
Listen, you guys know I keep it real with you - when something's not worth the money, I say it. But this place? At $999 a night? Total. Freaking. Bargain. The amount of space and luxury you get is insane!
OMG, and the FOOD! Y'all, we had our own Michelin-starred chef! Chef Michael (aka my new best friend) made us these incredible beach barbecues every night. Even Emma who's been going through that "everything has to be plain" phase - tried grilled mahi-mahi AND LIKED IT. Mom win! π
Emma has declared the infinity pool her new "office" and honestly, I can't blame her. I may have done a few Zoom calls from the terrace just to make my colleagues jealous (sorry not sorry!).
The best part? Those sunset moments when we all just chilled on the terrace. No phones (I KNOW!), no Instagram, just us, some amazing cocktails (James is a miracle worker), and the most ridiculous views ever. Tom even put down his phone during sunset, that's when you know it's special!
Quick side note because I know you'll ask - YES, it's super close to everything:
- Like 5 mins from all the cute shops in Holetown
- Beach hopping? Super easy!
- Golf courses nearby (Tom's actual heaven)
- 30 mins from the airport (aka more beach time!)
HUGE thank you to AwayBNB for making everything so perfect. The way they took care of every detail from airport pickup to having Emma's favorite snacks waiting in the kitchen was just incredible! π₯°
Oh! And before I forget for all you workout queens who don't want to skip leg day (even in paradise), there's a fully equipped gym. Did I use it? LOL no, but it looked really nice from my pool lounger! π
Seriously though, fam if you're thinking about a Barbados getaway, DO IT! Hit up AwayBNB (tell them I sent you!), ask for Angela, and thank me later!
Drop a comment if you've been to Barbados - I wanna hear all about your fave spots!
Love you all tons! β€οΈ
P.S. Still dreaming about those sunsets... and James's rum punch... and the infinity pool... okay, basically everything! π β¨
