Tara House

About this listing

Tucked into the hillside just above Barbados’ illustrious West Coast, Tara House is more than a villa, it’s a private sanctuary where design, nature, and wellbeing converge in quiet sophistication. This is not simply a place to stay. It’s a lifestyle rooted in beauty, calm, and intuitive luxury.

From the moment you arrive, Tara House evokes a sense of belonging. Clean lines, curated interiors, and soaring light-filled spaces create a sense of balance and openness. The great room has double-height ceilings and flows seamlessly to a wide covered terrace, open-air lounge, and expansive pool deck. The rhythm of the house mirrors the pace of island life: unhurried, elegant, and entirely in tune with its surroundings.

Life Outdoors, Elevated

Nature takes center stage at Tara House. Mature organic gardens cascade around the property, filled with rare tropical plants, vibrant blooms, and swaying palms that frame panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Hidden nooks and shaded walkways create quiet moments for reflection, while elevated vantage points reveal the breathtaking beauty of the coast below.

Anchoring the outdoor experience is the striking saltwater pool, complete with a floating tanning deck designed for sun-soaked afternoons. A private bar and al fresco barbecue dining area invite long lunches and easy entertaining. Even the shaded poolside lounge maintains an uninterrupted connection to the elements, where comfort and openness coexist.

A Wellness Retreat, Thoughtfully Designed

Health and restoration are woven into the experience at Tara House. Begin each morning in the open-air yoga pavilion, stretch into the breeze, and let the day unfold with intention. The ocean-view gym is equipped with Peloton and premium training equipment, while an infrared sauna and open-air shower offer a soothing path to renewal. This is wellness, without effort, designed for guests who value balance and vitality as much as indulgence.

The Art of Rest

Each bedroom is a tranquil hideaway, finished with meticulous detail and soft textures that invite deep rest. Opulent bathrooms and thoughtfully designed personal spaces elevate everyday rituals into moments of calm. Whether hosting guests or retreating in solitude, the house’s layout offers both connection and privacy.

Beach Days, Perfected

Tara House guests enjoy exclusive access to Rico’s on the Beach, which is a stylish yet laid-back beach facility just minutes away. Reserved loungers, crystal-clear waters, and impeccable service create the kind of beach days that linger long after the sun has set. It’s a seamless extension of Tara House’s ethos: comfort, beauty, and ease in every detail.

Tara House doesn’t just accommodate, it inspires. It invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience Barbados through the lens of elegant simplicity.
