Overview
The House by Elegant Hotels is a chic, adult-only, all-inclusive boutique hotel, set on a pristine west coast beachfront. Offering sophisticated accommodation, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, this hotel is ideal for couples who are seeking a romantic retreat in Barbados. Look forward to a complimentary jet lag massage upon arrival, daily champagne breakfasts and 24-hour ambassador service.
The hotel backs onto the renowned Paynes Bay Beach, where you’ll find a long stretch of soft, white sand and crystal-clear waters. You can make use of the complementary water taxi service to sister properties in the Elegant Hotels group or embrace the range of facilities at the nearby Tamarind by Elegant Hotels. It is just over two miles to Holetown where you’ll find a plethora of upmarket restaurants, bars and boutique shops – as well as the luxurious Limegrove Shopping Centre. Reach Grantley Adams International Airport in under 15 miles.
All suites are contemporary and stylish, featuring local handcrafted furniture, terracotta floor tiles and tasteful cream coloured bedheads and rugs. Marble-appointed bathrooms are modern, with rainfall showers and body jets, while standard room amenities include high-quality cotton linens as well as a Nespresso coffee machine, kettle, flat screen TV and iPod docking station. You’ll also benefit from having your own private patio or balcony with a lush garden or Caribbean Sea views. One Bedroom Ocean View Suites are top of the range, offering a separate living room, second bathroom and two private balconies or patios — both complete with Caribbean Sea vistas. When staying in this type of suite – or an Ocean View Junior Suite, and Ocean View room – you can also take advantage of an extended one-hour jet lag massage.

Other facilities
The hotel’s 24-hour ambassador programme, which starts from the initial in-room check-in, ensures that you can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and a ‘home from home’ experience wherever you are on the property. This extends to the beach and pool areas where you’ll be pampered with cold towels and refreshed with complimentary ice lollies and drinks.
Upon arrival, you can immediately relax with a complimentary jet lag massage in a beach cabana or in the comfort of your own room. After stimulating your senses and reviving mind and body, you might want to return for another treatment later during your stay, or head to the Ying Yang Beauty Spa, which is a full-service spa at the neighbouring, sister property, Tamarind by Elegant.
The curvaceous on-site swimming pool is split into two tiers, with a small waterfall feature in-between. It’s a relaxing space, blessed with tropical plants and a few cushioned sun loungers which are dotted around the sides. It’s also just steps away from the ocean sun deck and the beach where you can recline under shady umbrellas or an inviting cabana. Whilst relaxing, you might be tempted to try some of the complimentary water sports on offer. This includes water skiing, banana boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkelling and much more. The beach is also a known spot to witness nesting turtles.
Additional hotel amenities include a fitness centre and an internet room which is complete with a small library and computer station. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
The water taxi travels to and from Tamarind, Colony club, Crystal Cove and Waves Hotel & Spa. Guests cannot visit The House, but guest from The House can use the water taxi service from Tamarind.
