Own • This stunning and very private villa sits on the exclusive Calijanda Estate Ridge with breathtaking Caribbean Sea views and a constant cooling breeze. As soon as the electric security gates open to reveal the attractive elevations of Sea Breeze with a marble floored porte-cochère entrance, you know you have arrived somewhere very special.

Via the arched entrance you are met with a picture-perfect sea view through the reception room and over the swimming pool beyond. The ground floor surrounds the pool on three sides with jalousie openings to allow light and breeze to circulate. To the right of the entrance a beautifully finished air-conditioned media / library room is cool yet cozy, the perfect spot to take a break from the sun and watch television or read. The large family reception room opens via folding French doors to views of the pool deck verdant treetops and to the sea beyond.

A wide covered deck forms the heart of the villa, with a generous wet bar with bar stools and adjacent lounge area, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The large sun deck and swimming pool are bordered either side by tropical plants and large luxury sun loungers.

The four en-suite bedrooms on the lower level all have easy access to the pool and outside areas via an enchanting indoor-outdoor corridor.

The amenities of Holetown are just 5 minutes away by car and guests have the benefit of private beach access at the Fairmont Royal Pavilion Hotel.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate this truly stunning property, contact Young Estates now to arrange.

We created large openings within the existing structure to let in an abundance of natural light and repointed the coral stone walls. The original walls were actually plastered, hiding the raw beauty of the coral stone beneath.

A glass railing and tropical wood floors completes the vision.

An exciting weekend spent at the cricket Mecca of the Caribbean - Kensington Oval, Barbados.

GSA’s involvement in the Kensington Oval project brought this master plan concept - designed by Arup Associates - to life by converting the grounds from a collection of stands to a true stadium. Local and international consultants were divided into teams and GSA was responsible for the extensive coordination of external works for the various buildings, which included but was not limited:

. Siting buildings in relation to one another
. Electricity and power
. Foul water strategy
. Gas strategy
. Storm water strategy
. Potable and boosted water inner ring strategy
. Site drainage
. Emergency exit lighting and paths of travel for the varied event types
. External lighting
. Sound system
. Guidelines for TV camera placement
. Irrigation of the field and pitch
