Beachfront Bliss Getaway with Pool - Nelson Gay (9 bed)

Nelson Gay, a refined haven nestled on the periphery of Speightstown, Barbados, offers a sumptuous retreat spread across 1.5 acres of meticulously landscaped gardens and a breathtaking half-mile beachfront.

Originally crafted as the prestigious abode of a United States Ambassador in the 1950s, this elegant coral stone mansion exudes timeless Palladian grandeur, boasting lofty 14-foot ceilings in its stately living room and a mesmerising 50-foot pool, artfully tiled with intricate Italian mosaics portraying graceful turtles and vibrant fish, positioned like a poetic pathway summoning the sea to its furthest end.

This enchanting villa, designed with families in mind, offers an abundance of serene spaces and dining alcoves, including delightful options for al fresco dining under the shimmering glow of candlelight. Its predominantly white palette, gracefully adorned with unique antiques, harmonises seamlessly with the lush tropical landscape, creating an ambiance of refined sophistication and tranquility. Each of the sleeping quarters is a haven of comfort and serenity, featuring airy rooms furnished with plush beds and adorned with crisp, high-quality linens, ensuring a restful night's sleep amid the gentle whispers of the Caribbean breeze.

Guests can indulge in moments of blissful relaxation by sipping cocktails by the sea in the elegant garden gazebo, complete with a convenient wet bar, or retreat to the secluded privacy of two covered terraces that overlook the pristine beach, offering captivating vistas of the azure waters beyond. Family-friendly amenities abound, including an invigorating open-air gym and a charming pickleball court, perfect for engaging in leisurely recreational activities with loved ones.

Further outside is an additional charming chattel house with en suite bathrooms as well that can be rented for an additional cost to accommodate up to 18 guests.

The villa manager and their diligent staff are fully dedicated to your needs during your stay and will make your holiday truly relaxing, stress-free, and unforgettable with chef service. 3 meals per day, butler service for one butler and housekeeping service. All staffing is provided six days per week. Note: For groups of more than 12 people over the age of 12, an additional staff charge of US$750 per week will be added to your booking.

Please note: The beach experiences seasonal fluctuations in its accessibility.

A Dream Wedding Venue
We rented Nelson Gay for our wedding in September 2024 and had the most wonderful stay and magical wedding. As a venue for weddings it is nothing short of a dream. We had the most stunning sunset, the layout of the property is fantastic for a cocktail style wedding with an intimate setting and beautiful backdrop. We also stayed here for 6 nights with family and friends and it was so special to have the staff attend to us and be able to enjoy each other's company in a warm home with so many of us traveling from all over the world to be here. It was great value for the group and we would recommend it for anyone thinking about a wedding, family reunion, or special occasion trip or even for just a quiet, family holiday. We'll be back!
