East Coast Barbados |
Barbados is one of the most popular luxury holiday destinations in the world. Renowned for its breathtaking scenery, the richness of its culture and above all the friendliness of its people it provides the best of all worlds - it is one of the best places to relax, but it's also full of chic restaurants, vibrant nightclubs and worldclass golf courses.
Barbados has an endearingly British atmosphere and cricket is the national sport. But despite the British influence, it is a cosmopolitan country with a strong character of its own. It is prosperous and progressive and still full of natural charm; the Caribbean culture is very much evident in its cuisine, music and people.
Located where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea and close to the equator, Barbados enjoys a warm and sunny climate all year. It is predominantly flat with rolling hills to the north, and has a unique coral structure which acts as a natural filter making its waters amongst the purest in the world.
The Atlantic east coast is less developed and ruggedly beautiful, offering some spectacular panoramas forged over millions of years by the powerful Atlantic Ocean's winds and waves.
The Merricks Beach Resort is situated in the south east of Barbados on the stunning Atlantic coast in the parish of St Philip, 4km north of The Crane and next to Sam Lord’s Castle just 20 minutes from the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport.

Great Investment Opportunity:
Barbados is already one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world with a well-established tourist industry that is expected to grow by 4.6% per annum and a huge demand for hotel accommodation all year round.
There is an established property market and prices are still rising due to near saturation as there is a limited stock of property available for sale and limited land available to build on. With capital growth expected to be consistent at +15% per annum for the next four years bringing a high return on investment it is still an attractive prospect for overseas property investors.
All rooms are air conditioned. Each bedroom has its own shower room. All villas and apartments have an interactive entertainment system with flat screen TV, internet access, stereo, personal inroom safe and telephone. All villas have a private jacuzzi. Eco-friendly sources of power and waste disposal.
