Barbados vacation goers often choose to rent Barbados luxury villas for their Barbados vacations because they typically offer more room than standard hotels. It is especially convenient to rent Barbados vacation villas if you are traveling with a large group of friends or have several children. Another nice thing about Barbados villas is the fact that they are often more private than luxury hotels found on the west coast of Barbados in St James or St Peter. The only disadvantage of renting Barbados vacation villas is the fact that transportation, entertainment, dining, and other amenities aren't included in the price of a villa like they are in some Barbados all inclusive hotels.

You can find the largest concentration of Barbados villas near the capital city of Bridgetown. Once you arrive in Bridgetown, there are many Barbados rental villas just 10 miles outside of the city of the west coast, which is commonly referred to as the "Platinum Coast." Although you may find some Barbados vacation villas in central Barbados or on the east coast, the majority of rentals are located on the west coast. This is because the west coast offers warm and calm ocean water that is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. If you want to do some diving on your Barbados vacation, there are many diving outfitters near Barbados villas in Christ Church, St Peter, and Bridgetown that will rent you the proper gear and even provide you with a certification course. A diving certification course will cost you approximately 300 dollars.

If you're a surfing enthusiast, Barbados luxury villas can be found on the east coast where the surf is the strongest. One advantage to staying on this less visited coast is the fact that you might have more privacy.

Barbados luxury villas come in all sizes, ranging from small and intimate one bedroom villas to large to large Barbados vacation villas with multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and pools. If you want some privacy, there are luxury villas available with private pool facilities, although the majority of Barbados villas are located in neighborhoods with shared pools and clubhouses.

If you like golfing, you may want to consider Barbados rental villas near the Royal Westmore golf course in St. James. This 18 hole professional golf course is the home to the Barbados Seniors Open, one of the last stops on the European Seniors Tour. The course is located right on the coast, just steps away from luxurious Barbados rental villas which feature pools, tennis courts, and other amenities.
