The large salt water swimming pool at Villa Melissa sits in the middle of picturesque and spacious gardens. This villa is particularly well suited for families.

The pool is divided into two areas by stepping stones. These create a 3 feet shallow end which is ideal for children.

There is ample comfortable seating close by so children may be watched from the water's edge.

On the other side of the stepping stones is a deeper swimming area. This area is 4'6 “ deep throughout. Ideal for those who like to swim lengths.

One of the most popular features of Villa Melissa is the thatched tiki bar fondly known as 'Chubs One Love Bar.' This is located next to the pool and from here you may sit in the shade and enjoy your favourite refreshment. It tends to be the focal point of the garden where guests sit and play backgammon, scrabble and other games. A wonderful place to enjoy an evening cocktail before dinner. Riki makes a mean rum punch!

The bar has Sonos so bring your own music to enjoy.

The gardens of Villa Melissa are beautifully landscaped.

Villa Melissa is located on a private road that leads to the beach path. It is just a 3 minute stroll down the leafy path to the beach. Enjoy beach life yet escape to the oasis of the house and garden which is home to wonderful bird life. If you're lucky you will see green monkeys scampering across the garden walls.

‘’Absolutely fabulous!”
Hi Paul, Thank you for your email below and apologises for the delay in responding as it has been extremely hectic since my return from Barbados. I felt it important to give you some feedback about our stay at Villa Melissa. Two words to describe the villa is ‘’Absolutely fabulous!” The 3 staff, Patricia, Rodney and Grace were extremely good and far exceeded our expectations. They could not do enough for us during our stay. Patricia the cook was excellent and her cooking was of a very high standard. She was that good, my friends and I just wanted to stay in for dinner most nights. Grace the housekeeper was exceptionally good and kept every area in the villa spick and span. The villa itself was very spacious even with the 7 of us staying there and with the very large swimming pool it accommodated 7 of us very comfortably. I loved the outside bar especially with Rodney keeping us well stocked up with Banks Beers. It was the most popular place in the villa where we would gather together, sit, chat, drink and listen to music as well as having a sing song. Another area which I loved was the lounge area on the patio which gave shelter from the sun. Overall the villa is an ideal location and so close to the beach. I enjoyed the 20 minute walk along the beach to Holetown which I did every day. My friends said it was the best holiday they ever had. Each morning I worked for a few hours and found the internet was excellent. It was very fast with no delays which is very important. All in all I would give Villa Melissa 10 out of 10. Many thanks to you and Julie for arranging this villa with all the extras we required and the excellent service you both provided. I look forward to booking with you again. With thanks and best wishes, Mr McDonnell
