Belair Great House

Space, Relaxation, Privacy and Grandeur…Belair Great House is a tranquil, newly renovated 8bed - 8bath grand home, consisting of a Main House (5 bedrooms) plus Coach House (3 bedrooms) on the same property. Perfectly situated on the cliff of Dawlish Beach on the picturesque Southeast Coast of Barbados, this property offers service, style and comfort.

With stunningly breathtaking views and impeccable interiors, Belair Great House offers the complete package for your group’s get away. Attention to detail was key when putting together this beautiful home, which includes a housekeeper for the duration of your stay.

Quintessentially Bajan, Belair Great House is an impeccable and newly restored plantation-style house. It was built over a hundred years ago and has been owned by the same family in Barbados for the past twenty years. The house sleeps 16 and is situated on more than two acres of beautiful lawns and gardens, with almost 300 feet of ocean frontage.  Either the main house with 5 bedrooms, or both the main house and the coach house with a total of 8 bedrooms, can be rented.  This coastline offers the option of sleeping with the windows open to catch the ocean breeze or sleeping in air-conditioning.  All bedrooms in both houses have air-conditioning and ceiling fans.

The entire property is fully enclosed with an electronic entrance and a gate to the sea front. It is extremely private and offers a peaceful setting that invites you to relax on its grand verandas, admire its glorious island vistas and dramatic ocean views. 

While the property provides all the modern facilities required, the old-world character of Belair Great House has been carefully preserved. Belair Great House has five bedrooms. The ground floor consists of a formal dining room, large kitchen, one bedroom, one bathroom and a wrap-around veranda. The veranda holds patio furniture for relaxing in the breeze, while overlooking the sea, pool or tennis court, and is only a short distance from the sparkling freshwater swimming pool.

The upper floor has four bedrooms and four bathrooms all with their own access to the wrap-around ocean view veranda furnished with comfortable outdoor seating, which also overlooks the pool and lawns. On the upper floor back-facing veranda is a living space with push-out shutters, lounge seating, dining table, another fully equipped kitchen and an all-important bar. The outdoor living space on the first floor is undoubtedly the most stunning for views, relaxing and taking that all needed down time.

The pool deck is slightly raised and there is a covered gazebo with a round dining table and chairs for alfresco dining. There are chaise lounges around the pool and also a brick barbeque grill on the deck. Belair has its own full-size tennis court. 

The Coach House hosts 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchenette, large billiards room, bar and living space. It has been tastefully restored to match the high standards of the Main House, with hardwood floors, travertine tiles, granite countertops and coral stone rendering so you can really see the old-world character of the building, but in a newly renovated feel. It features a full-size antique billiards table with double French doors opening out to the lawns, allowing the room to catch the fresh breeze blowing in off the ocean.
