Kitchen and Living Spaces
The kitchen at Joias is spacious and extremely well equipped – ideal for guests who like to self cater. As well as an electric oven, microwave, toaster, kettle and all the other usual small kitchen appliances, there is a dishwasher and two large fridge/freezers with ice and water dispensers. And, not forgetting …… the best view from any kitchen on the island!
Outside, there is a large Weber barbeque, available to guests.
The high vaulted ceilings and polished wood floors give Joias a distinct ‘colonial’ feel. The living accommodation comprises a cool reception area with seating, a large dining hall and separate sitting/TV room. These rooms open onto a spacious veranda that runs along the ocean side of the house providing a wonderful location for informal dining and relaxing. The veranda is cooled by the trade winds and has two seating areas with inviting soft chairs and a dining area seating up to 10. It is a fantastic place to sit and listen to the surf whilst watching out for the turtles and humming birds.
There is also an air conditioned study. Internet/Wi-Fi access is available in the main living areas and bedrooms.

What our guests say
Barbados at its best
If you want privacy, space for friends and family and views to die for then this villa has to be your destination. Joias is designed perfectly for outdoor living and whether it is lying by the pool or enjoying the rum punches at sundown, the sound of the waves breaking reminds you constantly that you are in a special place.

Outstanding Barbados Property
The home offers stunning views of the sea from the pool deck, the verandas and the surrounding well maintained property and gardens. The home itself, offers every possible amenity within. From an excellently appointed and functional kitchen, to the beautifully furnished and decorated living, dining and bedrooms. The cleanliness of the home is superior, due to the efforts of Sharon the maid. Sharon’s wonderful personality, quiet demeanor and willingness to offer assistance and advice, further enhanced our enjoyment of our stay.
