Living a stone’s throw away from pristine white sand beaches and any-time ocean dips is a luxury almost everyone craves. After all, let’s face it; with one look at those turquoise Caribbean Sea views, it’s hard not to sink into relaxation mode. Luckily in Barbados, we’re spoilt with an endless selection of beaches from the more tucked-away spots ideal for seclusion to the activity-packed shores bursting with family fun.

One of our favorites on the west coast of Barbados is Mullins Beach. Not only is it ideally suited mid-way between two main west coast hubs, Speightstown and Holetown, but Mullins Beach offers a little something for everyone.

Decked out with a cozy beach bar that is appropriately named Mullins Beach Bar and Grill, it’s the perfect hang-out spot for families who want to spend the day seaside. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are available to rent, jet skis and other water activities are always on standby and roped off swimming areas keep everyone safe. The bar serves up scrumptious day-time and early-afternoon bites, and is often the go-to spot for a sunset cocktail on a Sunday afternoon when a live band keeps the crowd entertained. If more seclusion is what you desire, a short stroll down the south-side of the beach offers plenty room to find a quiet and more intimate retreat. 

Find Your Perfect Retreat within Mullins Bay Development

Directly opposite Mullins Beach, you will find the well-known residential development, Mullins Bay. Formerly known as Sugar Bay, construction on the six-acre lot of land commenced in 2000 and today, 26 residences comprise the areas’ well-established community. The development was built out in three phases with the final eight semi-detached villas being completed in 2007.

For beach lovers interested in Barbados luxury properties, five homes are currently available for purchase. Palm House, Tradewinds, Humming Bird, Jalousie & Tamarind

These beautiful homes offer either 3 to 4 bedrooms at prices between US$1.1M – 1.5M. Each luxury villa is uniquely designed and positioned in different phases of the community whereby privacy, sea views and proximity to Mullins Beach is assured.

Villas in phase 1 & 2 have their own pools and phase 3 villas have access to two large swimming pools, each with a Jacuzzi, umbrellas and lounge chairs. Property owner association fees which cover the shared water, electricity, security, garden maintenance and fitness center, are charged on a square footage basis. Mullins Bay levies are estimated at US$6.59 per square foot, which are quite low in comparison to other west coast developments.

The best part? Owners at Mullins Bay can join the Mullins Beach Club Membership at a minimal annual fee. Beach service includes towels, sunbeds, waiter service, private deck area, spa pool and gym. For golf enthusiasts, golf memberships at Royal Westmoreland are optional. Just across the road from Royal Westmoreland are fabulous tennis courts at Sugar Hill Resort.
