VILLA CLARISSA
Sleeps 20
Bedrooms 10, Bathrooms 9
The Garden, Porters – Barbados
Welcome to Villa Clarissa, one of the most spectacular beachfront villas in Barbados. This property is truly unique and is situated on 1.7 acres nestled amongst the tropical landscape. The view from the villa is that of a tropical paradise with panoramic views of the beach and the turquoise ocean beyond.
From the moment you enter this Villa, you know you are in true luxury. The gated entrance leads up to matured tropical gardens offering a breath-taking sea view. The villa has beautifully landscaped grounds with fountain pools and waterfalls.
What’s more the house offers a private and secluded beach cove with an 18ft speed boat complimentary for Clarissa guests, the boat includes water skies and other water sports equipment. A 30ft Boston Whaler suitable for cruising and deep sea fishing is also available at an additional cost.
Clarissa has been recently renovated to a very high standard. It has 10 en suite bedrooms that can sleep up to 20 people comfortably. There are two sets of communicating suites and the Tea House features both a king and two twin Murphy beds, ideal for young families. All suites are luxuriously appointed with pristine 100% white cotton linens, elegant furnishings, and local artwork.
These rooms are spacious and bright, with panoramic views of the Caribbean coastline. Each room features flat-screen TVs, ceiling fans, and air conditioning. The en suite bathrooms are finished with imported Italian marble and feature pampering touches such as seersucker robes, Acqua Di Parma toiletries and blow dryers. Four bathrooms feature open-air showers and most have incredible views of the gully or Caribbean Sea.
The Annex, located adjacent to the main house, suspends over the secluded white sandy cove and gully. Its oceanfront terrace features an intimate bar area. A private stairway leads down to the beach, and at high tide, the water laps the bottom steps, allowing you to literally step right into the Caribbean Sea. The cove is a delightful spot to sunbathe and enjoy water sports, including stand-up paddle boarding, Sunfish sailing, and snorkeling.
Clarissa is one of the few private homes with a cordoned-off swimming area, making it safe to enjoy the beautiful waters. The home also has an 18’ speedboat equipped for waterskiing and other aquatic excursions; the boat master can also arrange diving lessons and equipment rentals. Should you desire a good stretch or deep meditation, just below the Annex is an ideal terrace for yoga, looking out to sea with the verdant gully as the backdrop.
The heated infinity swimming pool, finished in a stunning blue Bisazza mosaic tile imported from Italy, is lined with inviting chaise loungers. The mosaic tiles reflect the sparkling sunlight, and the infinity edge offers a window to the sea, where catamarans gracefully sail by. Relax in the shade with a favorite cocktail in hand, or accept the water’s invitation to take a dip beneath the midday sun. Guests are fully pampered by our entire staff which consists of a Butler, two Housekeepers, a Laundress, a Night Watchman, and your very own Cook who will prepare three meals per day for you. Clarissa comes with its very own air-conditioned home theatre/cinema Room and mini gym to keep the whole family entertained while on holiday.
Clarissa is an excellent choice for multi-generational families or groups of friends looking for a comfortable, relaxed, and spacious holiday home, with a high level of personal service. It has plenty of character and charm.
This villa is also the perfect location for weddings and special occasions.
