Contemporary 4-bedroom villa at Apes Hill with panoramic west-facing sea views, private pool and access to world-class golf and lifestyle amenities.

4 Bedrooms | 4½ Bathrooms | 6,108 sq. ft. home | 25,380 sq. ft. land | Includes carport & 4-seater golf buggy

Villa Visala sits along Great Hill within Apes Hill, nearly 1,000 feet above sea level and just below the island’s highest point. The elevation changes everything.

The air is cooler. The light is clearer. The views stretch west toward the Caribbean Sea and east across rolling gullies toward the Atlantic.

This is not coastal density. It is a ridge-line perspective.

The home spans 6,108 sq. ft. on a generous 25,380 sq. ft. lot, offering four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms arranged for privacy and effortless entertaining. Contemporary in style, the architecture focuses on openness, volume and flow between interior and terrace spaces.

West-facing orientation ensures dramatic sunsets over the sea — the kind that become part of your daily rhythm.

The sale includes a covered carport and a four-seater golf buggy, essential for life within the estate.

Designed for Entertaining

The living areas are expansive without feeling oversized. Large openings frame the horizon and connect seamlessly to the outdoor terrace and private pool.

Features include:

  • Air-conditioned bedrooms
  • Ceiling fans and natural cross ventilation
  • Balconies and terraces positioned to maximise sea views
  • Private swimming pool
  • Landscaped front and rear gardens

This is a home built for hosting — whether that means extended family visits or sunset dinners with friends.

Life Within Apes Hill

Apes Hill is unlike other Barbados golf estates. It is defined as much by its natural gullies as by its fairways.

Spread across 475 acres, the community integrates indigenous landscapes with contemporary design. The Ron Kirby redesign of the 18-hole championship course emphasises sustainability and preservation, weaving through deep tropical gullies rich in flora and fauna.

Golf details include:

  • 18-hole par 71 championship course
  • 19th island green feature
  • Floodlit driving range and short game area
  • 9-hole Par 3 course (95–150 yards)
  • Golf Performance Centre with custom fitting and swing analysis

Beyond golf, Apes Hill offers:

  • Contemporary clubhouse with concierge
  • “The Noisy Cricket” restaurant and bar
  • “The 20th Hole” Halfway House
  • Tennis and padel courts
  • State-of-the-art gym and wellness facilities
  • Hiking and nature trails spanning approximately 12.5 km
  • Kids Club
  • Organic farm supporting a farm-to-fork initiative
  • Beach access programme
  • Cashless cloud-based members’ portal

This is a multi-generational community — families, retirees, serious golfers and lifestyle buyers sharing the same landscape.

Buyer Insight

Elevation on the West Coast carries long-term value. Cooler temperatures reduce air-conditioning dependency. Views are protected by topography. Privacy is built into the terrain.

At US$6,875,000 inclusive of the golf buggy and carport, Villa Visala sits within the upper tier of Barbados resort properties. Buyers at this level typically prioritise:

  • Land size relative to build
  • View protection
  • Architectural longevity
  • Community governance
  • Membership structure

We review each carefully before advising.

If you are considering Apes Hill, do not rely solely on brochure appeal.

Frequently asked questions about

Villa Visala

Does ownership include Apes Hill membership?
Ownership allows access to membership privileges; however, membership structures and annual fees apply separately. We guide buyers through the full cost breakdown before purchase.
How does Apes Hill compare to other West Coast golf estates?
Apes Hill is significantly higher in elevation, offering cooler temperatures and panoramic dual-coast views. It emphasises environmental preservation and lower-density development.
