Nick and Rose, from Southampton, are looking for a holiday home on the Caribbean island of Barbados. Their plan is to spend up to six months a year enjoying the tropical climate and golf facilities. Craig Rowe is tasked with showing them the best of what their £550,000 budget gets them with five jaw-dropping properties but will any these be the perfect place for Nick and Rose?
About the area
It’s pretty easy to get to, with direct flights from across the UK taking around nine hours into Grantley Adams International airport. From here it’s a twenty-minute drive up to Holetown and the beautiful West coast beaches and resorts. Known as the Platinum Coast due to its stretches of white sand, it’s a part of the world where the well off, and well known, flock. There are said to be around eighteen billionaires with property here and celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and Maria Carey are regulars to the island. It’s also a great spot for a permanent move-with shops, restaurants and people here from all over the world.
