The allure of Barbados charms visitors with its rum-filled welcome and keeps their attention with its notorious "platinum coast," known for attracting the likes of Tiger Woods and of course, Rihanna. One of the many attractive sights on this stretch of coast is the luxury residence offerings, from million-dollar penthouses to five-bedroom luxury harbor-front villas. Whether you're in the market for a second home somewhere warm or simply want to pop down to the Caribbean island, we have two luxury residences you will fall in love with and might never want to leave.
