Little Good Harbour - Barbados

Good Little Harbour is a family-run boutique hotel in a secluded area of Barbados, with direct access to a white sand beach and calm, turquoise waters. Find simple sophistication, traditional Caribbean decor and colonial-style buildings throughout the two-acre property. Its individual cottages are set amongst tropical gardens, creating a calming retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the island.

Located in a sleepy fishing village on the north west coast of Barbados, this property enjoys a laid-back atmosphere, away from the flashier areas to the south. It’s situated along a main coastal road, so hiring a car or booking taxis are popular modes of transport (the hotel also provides a water taxi service for a supplement). Speightstown is the nearest town (just under two miles away), boasting an array of delightful bars, restaurants and boutiques dotted along the picturesque seafront. You can also reach bustling Bridgetown in under seven miles. Meanwhile, Grantley Adams International Airport is 24 miles away.

One-, two- or three-bedroom cottage-style suites are set in the coral-stone buildings which are scattered around the tropical grounds. They feature plantation doors and shutters, with attractive wooden railings. Inside, the rooms are outfitted with solid wooden furniture, rattan chairs and floral or tropical print textiles. All suites are equipped with a flat-screen TV, Bodum coffee press and iPod dock. They feature a living area and private terrace (or balcony) and kitchens make them ideal for self-catering – you can even pre-order groceries before your arrival. One Bedroom Suites have a split-level design with a living area, kitchen and balcony on the ground floor and a bedroom, reading balcony and en suite bathroom on the upper floor. Three Bedroom Vineyard Suites offer the ultimate space and privacy with an open-plan kitchen (which includes a washer dryer) and a master bedroom with a reading balcony and private claw-foot bathtub. The second and third bedrooms offer additional bathrooms.
