Illusion

Sugar Hill, St. James

In our view

Illusion is a stunning home located at Sugar Hill. Luxury finishes throughout this beautiful villa together with your own putting green!

Illusion is a custom built private villa nestled in the gated resort of the very popular Sugar Hill Resort. Sugar Hill is located inland, slightly north of Holetown. The luxurious Sandy Lane Hotel inspired the design of Illusion and the result is a breathtaking villa, which combines elegance with contemporary design in impressive style.

As you walk through the large glass front doors you are greeted by an uninterrupted vista of the Caribbean Sea. The foyer spills out onto a covered terrace that overlooks the large swimming pool and dual staircases that lead down to the pool area. To the left of the covered terrace is the formal dining room. The dining room is spacious and cool with a large glass table that seats twelve people. The room itself transforms into an alfresco dining area as three walls of folding glass doors open up to a wrap around balcony. Off the dining room is the well-outfitted kitchen. The kitchen has abundant space, easily accommodating two wine coolers, a number of stainless steel appliances and a dumb waiter designed to facilitate the hassle-free transfer of meals to the external dining area on the pool level.

On the lower level of Illusion is a tastefully designed living room - the perfect place to relax. It is equipped with a large flat screen smart TV, Sonos surround speakers and a bar for your convenience. It is an open plan room, which leads through a number of arches onto the pool deck. The pool deck has numerous loungers, a barbecue and two gazebos. One gazebo has a small outdoor kitchenette and the other gazebo has an informal dining area. The pool area is an ideal place to lounge, take cooling dips in the pool, listen to music, sip on cocktails and enjoy barbecue for lunch or dinner.

All of the bedroom suites are air-conditioned, have private covered terraces, en-suite bathrooms and a security safe. The bedroom suites are equally proportioned with the majority located on the ground floor of Illusion. The master suite is on the first floor and features a second living room, a large flat screen smart TV and Sonos speakers. The master suite also has a large walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom that includes a tub and separate shower. The king-size bed allows you to lounge in bed and have a view of the sea.

*Price subject to confirmation by property owner.

Prices include all local property fees (2.5%) and taxes (10% SEL).

Unlike some operators, we always include the local Barbados fees and taxes in our prices – this isn't added later. If you find any of our properties at a lower price elsewhere we promise to match it for you.

Property owners tend to accept bookings over the Christmas and New Year period on stricter terms than at other times of year. In general, bookings are subject to a 14 night minimum stay but owners may require a 3 week booking in some cases and will often need to approve dates to fit with their own travel plans or those of other guests. A higher deposit of 50% of the total rental price is payable for such bookings and the balance becomes due earlier at 90 days before arrival.

All prices quoted above have been calculated based on information provided by the owners but are subject to confirmation during December and January as occasionally owners may insist on the higher Christmas rate being applied either side of the main Christmas period. We suggest you contact us for a firm price quotation at this time of year, before making your booking.

Our clients are saying…
This was our second visit to Barbados and we had a truly wonderful holiday, falling back in love with the island, the way of life and the house we rented for 2 weeks. The staff were so accommodating, the quality of the house was beyond perfect and everyone felt at home from the word go. Lisa made sure that everything about the holiday went so smoothly. Her attention to detail, prompt and friendly responses and organisation made the whole process so easy and we will most certainly book through them when we return.
