Overview

True to its name, this villa evokes a surreal sense of tranquility and luxury, with panoramic views that stretch endlessly over the Caribbean Sea. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a bright, open-plan living area, where sweeping sea views greet you from every angle. 

The expansive living room seamlessly flows onto the large pool deck via sliding glass doors, inviting the outdoors in. The pool area is the heart of the villa; with breathtaking vistas of the entire West Coast. Loungers and umbrellas surround the pool, offering the perfect spot to soak up the sun, while gentle breezes provide the ultimate relaxation. The deck also features a bar and grill area, while a large dining table invites alfresco dining with the most extraordinary view as the backdrop. Below the pool deck, an additional terrace provides a quiet nook—perfect for reading a book, or sipping sunset cocktails as you watch the sky transform.

Inside, the kitchen adjoins the living area, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and modern conveniences. Also on this ground level is a dedicated entertainment room, ideal for movie nights. The main house features four spacious bedroom suites, including one on the ground floor, which, like all the suites, boasts an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. This ground level suite also allows for direct access onto the pool deck. 

The three remaining suites are located on the upper level, each with its own private terrace offering captivating views of the ocean and the island’s lush landscapes. A beautifully positioned terrace off the upper level provides the perfect spot to enjoy Barbados' famous sunsets with a cocktail in hand.

Each of the villa's bedroom suites is a serene retreat, luxuriously furnished in neutral tones that complement the vibrant greens of the surrounding tropical gardens. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a harmonious blend of modern Caribbean luxury.

For additional space, Above The Clouds features a self-contained 2-bedroom cottage equipped with a kitchenette just steps away from the main house. Each bedroom suite features its own en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and comfort for additional guests. A scenic footpath leads guests from the cottage down to the beautifully manicured gardens.

This exceptional villa also offers a covered garage and a port for the villa's complimentary golf cart, making it easy to navigate around the resort. With access to world-class amenities such as an 18-hole championship golf course, tennis, padel tennis, hiking trails, and on-site dining, Apes Hill offers a rare fusion of nature, luxury, and recreation. Guests also enjoy beach access at the exclusive Ocean Escape Beach Club, set on the northwest shores in historic Speightstown.

Above The Clouds is a sanctuary of peace and luxury, offering an unmatched getaway in one of Barbados' most esteemed locations.
