Galena is a gorgeous 3 bedroom holiday villa set on the top ridge of Sandy Lane Estate in beautiful Barbados. The property features beautifully manicured grounds with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and the prestigious Sandy Lane Golf Course.

With a traditional style and open concept, Galena will win you over from your first step through the door. On arrival, you will be greeted by long-time staff member Maxine. An integral part of the family at Galena, Maxine is known for her delicious cooking with knowledge of dishes from around the world but with exceptional skill in Barbados’ local cuisine.

Beyond the entrance is a large covered patio where you can enjoy the ocean view and cool Barbados breeze. Take a walk to the gardens below and view a variety of tropical specimens. The garden at Galena is a perfect location to host an intimate island wedding for 40 – 50 guests. The bride and groom can make their special day even more memorable at this beautiful villa.

Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom. The TV room just off the Kitchen is another area to relax, watch TV, or read a book before heading out to the private pool or to the Sandy Lane Property Owners Beach. The pool at this villa on Sandy Lane is large, providing ultimate relaxation; enjoy a swim or work on your tan. The staff will make sure you are always well taken care of, and relax with a cold beverage while Maxine prepares one of her specialties for your enjoyment.

Enjoy the renowned Sandy Lane beach; just a quick drive through the estate and you will arrive at the property owner’s beach facility. Galena has a private “cabana” that allows you to store your personal belongings as well as light snacks and drinks, which can be stored in the cabana fridge. Umbrellas and beach chairs will also be readily available for your personal use, the only time you will have to move a muscle is to take a swim in the clear Caribbean Sea.

Your stay at Galena is sure to be the best part of your Barbados trip, whether it be for a wedding, family retreat or just a quiet couple’s getaway. Come as a guest, leave as family!

N.B. Please note the master bedroom is accessed through the hallway in bedroom 2. The bedroom can also be accessed via the outdoor covered patio.

Like all our Sandy Lane villas, this property rental DOES NOT permit the use of Riemann P20 Sunscreen, as it damages towels and fabrics.

    This was our first time to Barbados, we planned it in exceptional detail, taking with us our 3 small children plus grandparents too. Booking somewhere to stay to suit all the needs at first proved quite difficult that was until we found the Galena!! On arrival, quite late in the evening, we were greeted by the marvellous Maxine and the native Natasha who kept the house very clean, looked after the clothes and maintained a lovely environment in which to enjoy and relax. Maxine’s cooking was exceptional, I tasted dishes that were fresh, enjoyable, easy on the palate and just damn right delightful. She was always such a pleasant dynamic to be around. I often would ask how she had created such dishes only to then be shown and talked through such dish. I only hope I can recreate them to such an amazing , delicious standard. The house itself was simply perfect ! Just sufficient room for 8 of us. The location is peaceful and has the most amazing views. There is plenty of room to relax and just do and be yourself. I can truly recommend this place , I just worry that after too many exceptional reviews we will not be able to book back in but if you are considering the house, you will not be disappointed!!
