Cove Spring House is the most coveted vacation home on the sun-soaked island of Barbados.

Unique in its prime Platinum Coast location, the magnificently designed abode perches atop coral-stone cliffs that wrap around a private, picture postcard beach. With manicured tropical gardens walled for privacy, a freshwater swimming pool and adjoining spa, a meandering terrace with secluded, palm-shaded daybeds and two gorgeous gazebos with a fully equipped chef station, Cove Spring offers the ultimate in outdoor living, entertaining and relaxing. Stunning interiors rich in understated elegance boast 10 bedrooms, airy furnished verandas with sweeping views, a cinema room and a gym. Oscar winners, supermodels, captains of industry and Forbes List financiers have all been drawn to the absolute privacy, superlative luxury and five-star attention of this truly palatial hideaway.

Number of rooms: 14, plus a reception hall. The main house has seven bedrooms and the cottage has three; guests can rent the main house on its own or the main house and the cottage together.
