Resort review: Apes Hill Barbados, St James in Barbados

We’re delighted to be featured in Luxury Lifestyle Magazine where Plamena Manolova escapes to the most elevated golf resort in Barbados and discovers there’s more to Apes Hill than world class golf.

The article explores Apes Hill as a new kind of luxury where contemporary living ecological innovation and effortless relaxation meet 1000 feet above sea level. Manolova praises the 18 hole Championship Course designed by Ron Kirby but is equally captivated by the calm and understated elegance of the resort’s villas restaurants and natural surroundings.

 

Hilltop Villas are called out as ideal for groups with spacious layouts and thoughtful touches from shaded courtyards and private pools to cocktail ready kitchens and in villa dining. There’s a nod to the charming Bajan welcome rum punch included.

 

“Luxury nature and innovation can live in harmony”

The piece also calls attention to our environmental efforts from Zorro Zoysia grass and rainwater harvesting to our farm to fork ethos and 40 beehives buzzing with island honey. Our Course Superintendent Ed Paskins is spotlighted for his work stewarding the land and biodiversity across our 475 acre property.

 

This is a resort where elegance doesn’t mean excess and luxury lives side by side with authenticity. As the article suggests Apes Hill is where you come to play breathe reconnect and perhaps never want to leave.
