La Maison Michelle

The Fairmont Royal Pavilion is one of the most prestigious resorts in Barbados. Guests will have complimentary access to the Pavilion Beach Club and restaurants.

Situated on the famed 'Platinum Coast' of Barbados' western shores, the Barbados luxury spa property La Maison Michelle ushers in a new era of elegance in villa vacation leisure.

La Maison Michelle is a distinctive split-level home expertly designed from individually themed bedrooms to unique art and décor not seen at any other luxury Caribbean villa.

From the moment you pass through the grand wrought iron gates, you will be immediately aware of having been transported to another world; one of luxurious accommodations, stunningly evocative views, and experiences to soothe the mind, body and soul. We cater to your every need.

Upon entering the villa on the first floor is the entrance hall, displaying an elegant chandelier, a lovely painted abstract design on the concrete finished floor and of course the wide open window with views of the sea down to the second wing of the villa. From this wing, one can access three bedrooms. To the left is the lively Glass and Mirror Suite with an intricate block ceiling design, walk-in closet, and en-suite black-tiled bathroom including shower and outdoor Jacuzzi. The energetic Caribbean Suite is situated to the right of this wing with miniature steel pan fixtures and vibrant colours. An en-suite bathroom provides a standing shower.

Further to the right of this wing is the master bedroom also known as the Shell Suite. As the name implies this room has neutral colours and furniture pieces adorned with shells. A separate walk-in closet and en suite bathroom consisting of tub and an open shower can also be found. These three rooms afford sea views and constant breezes from their private terraces. The further two bedrooms are located on the ground floor accessible via a three-way split staircase fitted with a crystal glass-lit backdrop.

On the ground floor is the Ocean Suite, comprising of two twin beds and en suite bathroom with a standing shower and closet area to the left. The final room is a must-see! Situated across the second wing of the villa and accessed via the courtyard is the Safari Suite - the epitome of jungle fever accentuated by a large wardrobe painted with safari animals such as elephants, giraffes and other exotic animals. The spacious en-suite bathroom has an exposed natural piece of coral stone created as part of the original foundation of the land. The coral stone adds an earthy effect to the already well-themed bathroom complemented by a granite 'cheetah' print countertop, open shower and warm wood tiles. This room also features a small terrace ideal for enjoying an early morning coffee whilst embracing garden and sea views.

The courtyard also leads to the media room, equipped with comfy leather chairs and large screen where guests can enjoy on-demand movies and internet TV in this relaxing air-conditioned room.

Through the tiled covered pathway is the open plan living room and expertly designed kitchen with an island and table seating up to four people. Equipped with a stovetop, oven, wine cooler, fridge, ice maker, dishwasher and more, the kitchen complete for a vacation away from home.

From the living room and kitchen, one can access the outdoor area. An expansive split-level terrace is set up for lounging and informal dining. To the left and right of the terrace are separate elevated gazebos perfect for al fresco served by the Butler. The terrace and gazebos look out on to the large art deco infinity edge pool, sun deck with loungers and a small sanded area set up as your very own private beach in Barbados, all achieving breathtaking scenery from flowing fields out to the azure Caribbean waters.

Further views can be enjoyed from one of the three roof terraces outfitted with seating and accessed via a spiral staircase in the courtyard.

La Maison Michelle features a fully functional Savant Home System, allowing for our guests to have full, easy control of lighting, climate, entertainment, privacy, and more from easy-to-access controllers located around the home.

A two-bedroom self-contained cottage offers the Platinum Suite with a murphy king bed and the Cosmo Suite with a king bedroom both with en-suite bathrooms with a walk-in closet. The cottage includes a separate kitchen and common deck.

Barbados is a beautiful island on the eastern tip of the Caribbean. Its most famous asset is, of course, its white-sand beaches and azure sea, both of which combine to produce some of the most beautiful sunsets in the world. Those looking to simply relax by the beach tend to prefer the Caribbean side, which is located in the south and west of the island and offers calm, warm, light-blue water. Those looking to surf or windsurfing, though, will prefer the waves of the Atlantic waters on the east side.

Nightlife and dancing lovers, meanwhile, would be wise to stay near all the action on the St Lawrence Gap, which offers a wide variety of local performances such as the famously colourful Tuk band, known to wow audiences with their skills on the bass drum, kettle drum, and penny whistle. Our wide selection of Barbados luxury vacation rentals may help make your stay complete, but, no matter where you stay, you will enjoy access to pristine beach fronts, world-class golf courses, duty-free shopping, and a wide range of entertainment options.

Dining Options

Barbados boasts an exquisite selection of restaurants offering a wide array of culinary specialties. Ranging from delicious local dishes to international cuisine prepared by some of Europe and the Caribbean’s top chefs, Barbados dining choices are seemingly endless.

The West Coast is home to many of the island's most popular dining spots, including five-star restaurants, quaint local eateries and specialty restaurants offering an assortment of cosmopolitan flavours, including Asian, Indian, Italian and French-inspired menus. In recent years the South Coast has also seen a boom in fine dining facilities, and you can find many local favourites nestled among the hotels and entertainment venues.

During the day most establishments accept casual attire, however visitors should keep in mind that Barbados is a conservative island and appropriate cover-ups and shoes are required, even at the beach bars. In the evening, a more formal dress code is expected, however a dinner jacket is not required.

A nominal gratuity is often included in the bill, especially for larger parties; however it is at the discretion of the guest to increase or decrease the amount as they deem appropriate.

World Class Golf

Royal Westmoreland Golf Course features a 6,870-yard 18-hole championship course with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, well-maintained greens and beautiful tropical surroundings. The par-72 course offers a challenging set-up, with the par threes renowned as some of the best in the world. The course is studded with bunkers, some taking advantage of the natural environment, including a coral stone quarry between the 5th and 6th hole and a ravine bordering a tight green at the 12th hole. Each hole is designed to accommodate a range of player expertise.

With spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, verdant greens and vivid tropical blooms and lush gullies lining the fairways, Sandy Lane Golf Club is renowned as one of the most stunning courses in the Caribbean. Part of the 5-star Sandy Lane Resort, the Country Club strives to provide players with a golfing experience like none other. The first course designed outside the United States by distinguished course architect Tom Fazio, the Country Club features open fairways, angled slopes and five lakes. With five par threes, eight par fours and five par five holes, the 7,060-yard course provides a challenging experience for professional and amateur golfers alike. In 2006 the Country Club hosted the World Golf Championships World Cup, a four-day tournament attended by international players and spectators alike.
