Villa Melissa – One of the Best Family Villas to Rent in Barbados
Located just a few minutes’ walk from the beach on Barbados’ exclusive Platinum Coast, Villa Melissa is a beautifully appointed five-bedroom villa ideal for families, couples, and groups seeking a luxury Caribbean escape. With spacious interiors, a private pool, lush gardens, and dedicated staff, it stands out among the best villas to rent in Barbados.
This private holiday home offers the perfect balance of tropical charm, comfort, and convenience. Just moments from the fine dining, designer shopping, and white-sand beaches of Holetown, Villa Melissa is one of the most popular family villas in Barbados.
Flexible Accommodation for Families and Groups
Villa Melissa features five air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms divided between the main house and a self-contained cottage. The main villa includes three stylish bedrooms, while the adjoining cottage offers two additional bedrooms, private terraces, a fully equipped kitchen, and a separate living space—perfect for teenagers, grandparents, or couples seeking a little extra privacy.
This layout makes it one of the most versatile villas to rent in Barbados, catering equally to multi-generational families, groups of friends, or couples travelling together.
Prime West Coast Location
Situated in a peaceful residential area near Holetown, Villa Melissa offers easy access to some of the island’s top beaches and luxury resorts, including Coral Reef Club, Colony Club, and Glitter Bay. A private pathway through the garden leads guests to a quiet beach in under three minutes, making it ideal for beach lovers who want to be close to the sea without staying directly on the shoreline.
Private Pool and Outdoor Living
The villa's saltwater swimming pool features both shallow and deep areas, making it safe for children and enjoyable for adults. Surrounded by tropical landscaping, the pool deck is furnished with sun loungers, shaded areas, and a thatched tiki bar with a built-in Sonos sound system—perfect for enjoying poolside cocktails or evening gatherings.
Guests can dine al fresco on the covered terrace or enjoy breakfast overlooking the garden, surrounded by local birdlife and Barbados’ famous green monkeys.
Well-Equipped Kitchen and Home Comforts
The modern kitchen is fitted with high-end appliances, including double ovens, a wine fridge, and a butler’s pantry, making it ideal for self-catering guests or those who wish to hire a private chef. Multiple dining areas provide options for casual or formal meals, both indoors and outdoors.
Entertainment is easy with a media room equipped with a 60-inch Smart TV, Netflix, and sports channels. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
Dedicated Staff for a Seamless Holiday
Villa Melissa is fully staffed to ensure a relaxed and effortless holiday experience. The villa’s experienced cook prepares delicious local and international dishes, the housekeeper keeps the home immaculate, and the general assistant is on hand to help with poolside setup, errands, and guest needs. The attentive and friendly service is a hallmark of the very best Barbados villas with staff.
The Cottage: Ideal for Couples or Teens
The coral stone guest cottage is a highlight of Villa Melissa. With its own private entrances, kitchen, and living space, it offers a peaceful retreat within the grounds. The master bedroom features a romantic four-poster bed and access to two private terraces—making it a great choice for honeymooners or independent guests who prefer a little more privacy.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful Villa. We were so happy to be here all together celebrating birthdays and an aniversary with all of our children and their children. We found the Island itself beautiful and the people friendly - we always felt safe and welcome everywhere we went.
Special thanks goes to Tammy for making wonderful meals and keeping us always full. The macaroni pie was a real hit with the kids, the banana pancakes were great too (we also enjoyed feeding the Monkeys bananas).
Rick did a great job getting everything we needed, telling us things we needed to know and to see. He also makes a great Rum Punch.
Grace - kept everything clean, neat and running smoothly aswell as keeping us always with a smile.
Celeste is a real jewel too - always keeping things going and making reservations for us.

God's blessing to all of you. xx
We had a great time at Villa Melissa - it was the perfect setup for our family, and our daughter absolutely LOVED the pool as well as the pool and sand toys. She actually learned how to swim on this trip.
Ricky was great and we enjoyed many a rum punch at the bar.
Patricia is such a wonderful cook and she easily accommodated us even when we had a couple last minute requests.
The boat ride was definitely a highlight of our trip - not only did we have the perfect sunset but the crew was excellent and the food and drink service were well beyond our expectations so it was a real treat.
