About this listing

Java Bay is an exceptional Balinese inspired villa set on a ridge within the exclusive gated community of Calijanda, bordering Royal Westmoreland and Sugar Hill. Designed by London architect Harper Downie, the property sits on three quarters of an acre and commands sweeping 180 degree views across Barbados’ West Coast. Despite its elevated, private setting, the villa is only a five minute drive from Holetown, where beaches, restaurants and shopping are easily reached.

The villa spans approximately 5,000 square feet and is designed around open, flowing spaces that connect effortlessly with the outdoors. Its interiors reflect refined Indonesian style, featuring Portuguese limestone and granite floors alongside hand carved Balinese details that give the home a warm, distinctive character. The layout is flexible and generous, offering comfort, space and complete privacy for up to eight guests.

Electric gates open onto a private driveway, setting the tone for a secluded retreat. Inside, the ground floor unfolds into a grand limestone entrance hall leading to a formal dining room that seats ten, a relaxed sitting area, a media space and a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast area. These living spaces open directly onto a wide pool deck centred around a striking fifteen metre infinity pool. A unique tree house overlooking the pool provides a memorable spot for dining or lounging among the treetops.

The main suite on this level is designed as a private sanctuary, complete with an en suite bathroom, its own courtyard, a daybed and an outdoor spa bathing area. A second king bedroom also enjoys a private courtyard garden with an outdoor shower, while an additional single bedroom and two shower rooms complete the ground floor accommodation.

A mahogany and glass staircase leads upstairs to a bridge connecting two further bedrooms. One is a double and the other a twin, both with en suite bathrooms and uninterrupted ocean views, making them ideal for guests who appreciate privacy and scenery.

Java Bay offers a rare combination of architectural design, natural beauty and peaceful seclusion, all within easy reach of the West Coast’s most popular amenities. The villa accommodates a maximum of eight guests and is perfectly suited to those seeking a refined and tranquil Barbados escape.
