About

Sea Symphony villa was built in the year 1995 with a view to relaxation and tranquility in a seaside setting. The architect provided different views of the ocean from all areas of the villa. As the villa faces west. those evening sunsets are never missed. With the open living plan, you experience that constant soothing refreshing sea breeze. Dining is relaxing in the main dining with the gardens and outdoor pool, in the gazebo or intimately upstairs indoors or on the upstairs patio overlooking the pool.

The villa was great for our large group. The individual rooms were comfortable and spacious and there were areas where we could all get together. Beatrice kept the house clean and provided an endless supply of clean towels (it was great not to leave with lots of dirty washing!), and Kay did a great job of keeping us all well fed. All the younger members of our party were keen surfers, and there were suitable beaches very close by; in fact the beach just a few yards from the gate had great surf on quite a few days. The pool was big enough to have a decent swim, and there were lots of sun loungers around for relaxing. There were lots of places to visit a short drive away, so we felt everyone was catered for. Lovely villa for a relaxing holiday!

Francois D Spacious elegant villa in beautiful private setting Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay at the Sea Symphony Villa. The secluded hilltop location offers privacy away from town and traffic and makes for very quiet days and nights. We all came back very well rested! The ocean side location offers beautiful views of the ocean from the upper level. Lots of sunshine all day long. A few steps to the water, great for a morning or afternoon swim. The kids enjoyed having their own quiet private rooms and the pool at their doorstep. The onsite chef is very experienced and prepared wonderful meals including classic and local meals. The onsite housekeeper kept up everything clean and tidy for our large family. There is a small grocery store a few minutes by car. All amenities are available in nearby Speightstown or Holetown: stores, Massy’s groceries, gas, post office, banks, medical clinic etc. I highly recommend to a family or a larger group.

Delightful and relaxing -- well-kept villa and beautiful island with lots to see and do. We were very grateful for the support from the Sea Symphony Villa team. The house is owned and run by a local doctor and her husband (also a doctor); Dorothy will exchange informational emails with you before your arrival and greet you with the staff (Lindrey (chef) and Beatrice (housekeeper)) on your arrival. Dorothy keeps a careful eye on the house's operation. Lindrey, who is a gifted cook, will recommend excellent dishes for breakfast, lunch or dinner (you set the times for meals, and can of course eat out instead). Lindrey has cooked professionally all over the Caribbean, as well as on cruise lines, and can prepare classic international dishes as well as Caribbean specialties (from Barbados, Jamaica, Grenada, etc.). Beatrice does the laundry daily and keeps the house absolutely spotless, and is a cheerful voice every morning. Finding the villa is relatively easy, as "Sea Symphony Villa" shows up on maps on your phone, and if needed you can ask for directions once you're close. St Lucy Parish, where the villa is located, is the northernmost in Barbados, and so a 40-minute drive from the airport. The west coast beaches are 10-25 minutes down the coast, the northern coast (remarkable cliffs at the Animal Flower Cave) 15 minutes away, the east coast (en route, a beautifully restored mansion and miniature railway to overlook point at St Nicholas Abbey, and then the Andromeda gardens and lunch at the Atlantis Hotel) about 30 minutes away, and Bridgetown and the south coast beaches about 30-40 minutes away. It is very useful to have a car, and a driver who is comfortable driving on the left-hand side (UK rules) on sometimes poorly maintained roads with lots of roundabouts. The Barbados roads can be challenging. If you rent a car, make sure to buy insurance for the bumps in the road. Also -- the world-class waterfront restaurants in Holetown (e.g., The Tides) can be expensive, but the cuisine and the sunset views are worth it.

Supreme Villa with sea views A stunning large villa with views to sea on a hilltop. Own pool too. A chef who cooks amazing food and a housekeeper who provides a laundry service too. A taxi service is available. The rooms are lovely and the master bedroom immensely comfortable bed. It's truly a marvellous place with first class service. It's so spacious and big tvs too. A few verrandas for drinks. Quiet location. Close to the brilliant new restaurant The Fish Pot. It's hospitality at its best. Superb place.

Barbados welcomed us but Sea Symphony gave us a HOME!! I was a part of a 10 party birthday group who visited Barbados and had the pleasure of staying at the Sea Symphony Villas. The property is amazing!! The house is gorgeous and spacious. 10 people and everyone had their private space and plenty of space to come together to relax in the pool or poolside, upstairs in the living room area or on the upper patio overlooking the pool. It was more than I expected. The house is phenomenal the beach is a few steps away. As gorgeous as the property is, in my opinion it's the people who make or break the experience. Sea Symphony has the best people you could ask for. Beatrice and Chef Lindrey!!!!! This trip absolutely would not have been as successful as it was without them!! Ms. Beatrice kept the house so immaculate and refreshing. After a long day out exploring Barbados and you come home and just relax because shes literally made it impossible not to relax with her preparation. Shes the best!! Chef Lindrey not Landry its Lindrey! and I will happily put the respect on his name that it deserves. This man is amazing!!!! His attention to detail is priceless. Hes a 10 star chef, a guide, a philosopher, a comedian, hes everything!! He takes pride and pleasure in everything that he does. He went above and beyond. From the lemonade to the meatballs, to the steak, blackened chicken and salmon, pasta, lobster, lamb, the breakfast spread, the fresh fruit, and even the grits that are almost impossible to find on the island. Chef Lindrey made a way!!! The jokes he kept us laughing!! Rose and Flash is Barbados version of Romeo and Juliet and is the greatest love story ever told!!! I'm sure all the Sea Symphony staff is just as amazing but if your blessed to have Chef Lindrey and Ms. Beatrice as your host then I guarantee you will be in for a treat!! The people of Barbados are amazing and a week is not enough!! Thank you Sea Symphony! Thank you Ms. Dorothy! Thank you Ms. Beatrice and Chef Lindrey!!!! Thank you BARBADOS!!!!!!!!!

We cannot let this vacation pass without letting anyone and everyone we talk to know about how awesome our stay at the Sea Symphony was. We were 12 persons, and each of us had our own rooms and private full bathroom. The Villa is very large, with many places to hang out so we never felt on top of each other. We enjoyed the beach just 100 feet down a walkway to white sand and pristine waters. We also walked south down the coastline and by nearby towns to other beautiful natural beaches. Never did we feel unsafe. Lindry (our chef) and Beatrice (our housekeeper) were absolutely amazing. Anything we needed they attended to us. Impromptu meal planning. Fresh cut flowers every day. The Villa was kept clean and tidy and the food was amazing. As much as the company made the trip, Lindry and Beatrice became a part of the memories. Only thing to consider is distance. The Villa is approximately 15 mins from Holetown and 25 mins from Bridgetown. Taxis and transportation is costly in Barbados so plan ahead for the extra expense. Would we do it again?! Absolutely! No doubt. Amazing time! Amazing Villa! Amazing people!

5/5 Great Villa I highly recommend this villa, it has everything and more, it's so huge, their are parts of it we didn't get to use. Our guest party had a blast and already thinking of coming back again. Dorothy is awesome with communication and making sure all your needs and wants are taken care of. The staff-Mr. Lindrey is a great chef, he prepared our food and all of it was VERY GOOD!! Beatrece did great making sure all our rooms were nice and tidy, clean, and our laundry was done, even though we didn't really expect her to do our laundry. If your needing a villa to stay in with your family or friends this place is for you.

FANTASTIC TRIP ! My husband and I were looking for a villa large enough for our family (16pp) and Sea Symphony fit the bill. The minute we arrived we knew this was going to be a fantastic place to spend 10 days. The staff is incredible, Lucene is a fabulous cook, she made the most amazing meals for us, Marissa and Monica took care of the laundry and house cleaning, and Croft kept the pool and deck clean. Lucene went to the grocery store with us our first trip and was very helpful with the choosing of our food. Croft shared his catch of jacs fish with us one day and Lucene prepared them for lunch, delicious. There was plenty of room in the villa for all of us without feeling crowded. We had dinner in the gazebo every night where we had cool breezes and listened to the waves roll in and the chirping of the crickets. It was a wonderful 10 days, our grandchildren were very sad when the had to say goodbye to Lucene. Thank you Lucene, Marissa, Monica and Croft for making this vacation even more special. Sharon, Peter and the rest of the family.

We were looking for a place to rest, relax and leave our daily routines behind while we joyfully experienced Barbados. You have certainly provided exactly that! We have been very happy at Sea Symphony and all aspects of the villa have worked out very well for our group.In addition, the beach just down the walk has provided us with many hours of fantastic snorkeling amidst an amazing array of crabs, eels, beautiful vibrant fish etc. As you surely know, a building is nothing more than a collection of bricks, mortor, wood and glass. It is always people that make it special. Monica and Eleanor have been very proficient. Theyve cleaned up after us, made our beds, done our laundry etc. and all the time done so in such a way that we barely even know they were there. Theyve been super! and Lucene... Lucene has worked with us to create meal plans around precisely what we were interested in. She provided excellent recommendations during our meal planning and while shopping. All of us have greatly enjoyed all of the delicious dishes that Lucene has so carefully and thoughtfully prepared for us. Lucene has certainly been a wonderful part of our stay in Barbados. Until next time! James.


"A big thank you to you and your wonderful staff for making this one of the best holidays we have ever had. We have travelled all over the world and we were impressed by your hospitality that made our son's wedding an event that will only hold happy memories!"

P.S. We will be back!


"Perfect villa for a small wedding"

"Twelve of us stayed at Sea Symphony villa. What a beautiful place! Very beautiful and airy, lots of places tucked away to read a book and enjoy the sea breezes, and even more cozy gathering areas...by the pool, up in the gazebo, on the upstairs balcony. The beach, while small, was the perfect size for the twelve of us and just steps away from the villa. Early mornings were peaceful, the silence broken only by the occasional crow or rooster (they crow on and off all day in Barbados. I guess they figure someone wants to get up). A car is included with the villa but because there were twelve of us we also rented two vans. Margaret took great care of providing us with delicious meals, what a great opportunity to try new dishes. For the wedding reception, a great buffet was served. We had our wedding reception in the gazebo, a beautiful spot with wonderful cooling winds, then pictures of the pool with wonderful foliage as our backdro p, then down to the beach for even more amazing shots. Overall a great choice. We all want to go back!"

"Great experience"

"My family and I have been to the Caribbean a total of nine times and by far this trip surpassed all others. The villa and its staff are so excellent that both my wife and mother in law have forced me to book the same villa next year. The villa is situated in the north of the island and it is in a tranquil and quaint area so that we could have some rest and relaxation. The amenities were more than acceptable a pool which was always occupied by the kids while we went down to the beach which was a stones throw away, a barbecue grill which we used three times as well as a mini gym with a treadmill which my wife insisted on using daily so as not to put on too much weight from the delicious meals made by Margaret and Ann. There was more than enough space in the villa for family activities as well as for some of us to get a peaceful rest while others(the kids usually) were still awake.Sea Symphony and Barbados was something EXTRAORDINARY for us to remember. We give it two thumbs up and we will see you guys next year!!!"
