We love this area of Barbados because there are a range of activities to suit everyone. Between the pristine beaches, tropical wildlife, international sporting events, world-class golf courses, delicious dining and a rich local culture, this neighborhood has it all!
Paynes Bay Beach, the postcard-perfect beach of your daydreams, is a 15-minute downhill stroll from Holders Retreat. Also called "The Platinum Coast," many locals consider this to be the best beach on the island. Also within a 15-minute stroll is Daphne's, The Cliff Beach Club, and an exciting mix of trendy bars like Scarlet and 1837. Holetown and Limegrove Lifestyle Center are less than a mile away, where you will find more restaurants, bars, duty-free shopping, a large supermarket, and banks.
To the east is the Green Monkey, Sandy Lane’s most exclusive golf course; to the west, the Holders Polo Club, the first of its kind in Barbados and one of the most prestigious polo clubs in the Caribbean.
If you are in Barbados on a Sunday, we recommend you check out the delightful Holders Farmers Market, set on the grounds of the historic Holders Plantation House. Select from local art, crafts, and food to take home to your kitchens.
