Every great house has its admirers. Among those who have chosen Cove Castle for vacations are Oscar winners, supermodels, captains of industry and Forbes List financiers. And it's not just the absolute privacy, superlative luxury and five-star attention that appeals to discerning guests.

Ten exquisitely appointed, air conditioned en suite bedrooms with hand-picked Ralph Lauren furnishings can accommodate a party of up to 20.  Expansive veranda has furnished with sofas and armchairs and cooled by ceiling fans offer a dozen private spots to while away an afternoon reading.  A magnificent private cinema with 20 reclining viewing chairs, fine art photographic prints by the renowned Terry O'Neill, a library and a fully equipped gym.

Many houses in Barbados are built at the water's edge of the island's all-public beaches. But very, very few can claim to have a beach all to itself. The natural coral stone cliff, on which Cove Castle sits, encloses a safe, picture postcard sandy beach, protected by an offshore reef.  The half-moon shaped fresh water swimming pool and adjoining spa is ringed with Balinese loungers and tropical planting.  A meandering terrace to the water's edge offers secluded day beds, shaded by palms, or sun-deck loungers with wrap-over umbrellas.  A garden gazebo and chef station for al fresco lunches or butler-served pool snacks and attentive staff to replenish your glass.
