Little Arches Hotel

Top choice in Barbados


Possibly the best boutique hotel on the south coast. Once a Mediterranean-style mansion, the hotel now has 10 rooms in a variety of shapes and sizes, some with private whirlpool baths and plunge pools. The decor combines bright Caribbean colors with restrained luxury, such as deeply comfortable wicker chairs. It’s on the quiet Miami Beach access road.

Privacy is at a maximum and there are lots of artful touches throughout, but the undoubted star of the show is the spacious terrace shaded by white linen that features an appealing swimming pool with panoramic views of the calm Caribbean below. There are free bicycles for guest use. Minimum stay of three to seven days are required.
