Notes:

Fustic House is the largest private estate -11 acres- available for hire on Barbados. It has more free space than Sandy Lane or the Coral Reef Club + Sandpiper hotels put together. It is virtually Paparazzi proof. Outdoor dining (best chef on island) is available in many locations from the west terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea, to the south lawn, or next to the Lotus Lake, where the cooling Trade winds provide a wonderful venue for lunch under the Mahogany and Pride of India trees. The pool was designed by Oliver Messel, who blasted it out of the coral ridge to form a natural lagoon. It is adjacent to the 120m2 sun deck over the Tropical Ravine that leads to the local, sandy beach (3 min walk through the fishing village). The gardens are a delight for horticulturalists, including many rare trees and other vegetation and an Orchid walk. Fauna include Barbados green monkeys (who stay away!), egrets, herons and fireflies, with frequent Fregate birds surfing the light Trade winds.
