Ocean Spray Beach Apartments

Barbados


Salt spray from the pounding surf mists the air at this attractive and modern 25-unit apartment complex. Balconies on rooms with views offer a captivating spectacle of the famous local surf. Relax with a cranberry juice and vodka. The excellent on-site restaurant does healthy breakfasts and brunches using local farm-fresh ingredients.

The original building on the site was one of Barbados' most famous discos back in the day, the Penthouse Lounge, where movers and shakers took advantage of the site's then super remote location to party without restraint. These days it's a fine choice for those who value tranquility over fiesta – there's even a peaceful waterside yoga pavilion.
