Settlers Beach Villa Hotel was built by Budge O?Hara with Jimmy
Walker the architect and partners early in the sixties. It is a
beautiful site of 4 ACRES right on the west coast, close to Holetown
and the Limegrove cinema, restaurants and upscale shopping.
Today it is owned by the O?Hara family and offering hotel services
for your villa accommodation on the beach. It is part of the O?Hara
group of 3 top hotels that are almost side by side on prime beachfront
settings on the west coast close to the Sandy Lane Hotel and Golf
Club.
Immediately
besides it on the south is its sister hotel owned by the O?Hara?s,
The Sandpiper. On the right are the St. James Church, the Folkestone
Marine Park and the elegant Coral Reef Hotel on 12 acres of beachfront
owned by the family. All 3 O?Hara properties adhere to the concept
of privacy and space with cottages and small coral stone buildings
housing the charming accommodation in a truly Caribbean setting.
Settlers has always been a villa-style hotel, with individual villas
fractionally owned by guests who habitually holiday in Barbados
and prefer the comfort of their own home and beach house living,
along with the hotel services they expect on a luxury holiday. When
owners are not in residence, the villas are rented to visitors.
The O?Hara family manages all the resorts on an ongoing basis, ensuring
continuity of service expected of luxury vacations.
Settlers is unique in that it offers the opportunity to have the space
and privacy of your own Barbados Villa with all the amenities of a Barbados top-rated
hotel.
Accommodation
There are 22 villas nestled around the central lawns and gardens with
their big mahogany trees and tropics vegetation. There are nine Bungalow-style
villas, each a single story with two bedrooms connected to the living
and kitchen area by a patio/atrium.

Location
It
is one thing to be staying in the perfect villa hotel like Settlers
Beach, but what is just as important, and in many cases more important,
is location. Of course at Settlers, you are on the beach - the same
beach as Sandy Lane, one of the world?s top 10 hotels. You are also
on the west coat and right in Holetown, one of the early settlements
in Barbados with much to do and see.
n Holetown, there are many fine places to dine - from elegant to casual
in beachfront, al fresco or air-conditioned settings and catering
to all tastes! Be sure to check out the Spago Waterside restaurant
at Settlers Beach, and the Sandpiper and Coral Reef restaurants which
are part of the O?Hara family-owned and managed group that includes
Settlers Beach Villa Hotel.
Holetown features many great dining options like The Beach House, Nishi, The Mews, Elbow Room and many more.
Here too is the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre for fashion, food, film
and entertainment. The cinema features contemporary and avant-garde
films, with refreshments brought to you in the theatre. Various art
and craft events are staged at Limegrove through the year. The shopping
is unparalleled with many major international brands and boutique
duty free shopping from Louise Vuitton, Gatsby, Michael Kors and others.

West Coast Golf and Polo
here are four PGA world class golf courses all within a few minutes? drive from your villa. Sandy Lane has two 18-hole courses, both championship courses designed by Tom-Fazio, as well as the Old Nine, a nine-hole course.
Robert Trent Jones designed a lovely course at Royal Westmoreland and the latest addition is the ultra exclusive course at Apes Hill.
Polo, the sport of kings and horses, has been an established game in Barbados for many years. There are several world class venues that offer a fun way to spend some time and mingle with interesting people at the games. Holders Hill, Clifton, Lion Castle and Apes Hill polo clubs have all hosted world class games, visited by royalty.

That
will give you a hint of what is close to you at Settlers Beach. There
is so much more, in fact the entire island is at your doorstep. We
know that independent-minded travelers love authentic and unique experiences
and we know that you will venture out and discover the people and
culture at your own pace. Check out our village fish markets and be
sure to try the flying fish. Here is how my grandmother cooked it:
Buy a pack of 10-12 fish for about $5.00 at the market. Make sure
they are cleaned and boned.
Season the fish with salt and peeper and lots of herbs. A touch of
Bajan seasoning is good. Add a few squeezes of lime juice; not too
much as it will pickle the fish. Let it stand for 15 minutes then
pat dry the fillets. Dip the fillets in beaten eggs, so that the breadcrumbs
will stick and then coat them with the crumbs. Heat the oil in your
pan and add a teaspoon of butter. Place the fish in the pan, cook
on high heat on both sides for a minute then turn heat down and let
it cook for a couple of minutes and you are ready to eat the most
delicious fish in the world. I find one of the great joys of travel
is to sample the fresh food and try out your own recipes.
It's a great education to visit the artists and crafts people who
have often have an affinity with nature like John Springer, master
potter at Chalky Mount.
