Our family of eight adults had an absolute blast at this villa! It had everything we needed, especially a well-equipped kitchen with plenty of utensils for cooking.The multiple levels gave everyone their own space and privacy. One of our favorite things was sitting on the main-floor balcony in the morning, sipping coffee and watching the monkeys. The lush greenery surrounding the property made it feel incredibly peaceful and private.The location was perfect! Massy grocery store, great restaurants, coffee shops, beach bars, and more were all within about half a mile, making it easy to walk or drive wherever we wanted to go.All of my cousins loved the villa, and we had an amazing time together. We would definitely stay here again and hope to return in the near future. Highly recommended!

Paradise in barbados

Our family loved our week in Barbados- It was an extremely convenient area- near Massey market, beach and restaurants. The property was so inviting we liked to relax at the pools some days. All of us loved the jungle atmosphere in the backyard and got a kick out of the monkeys! All rooms were private with en suite bathrooms. Each in our group enjoyed the privacy and yet after dinner loved hanging in the living room. The outdoor sitting areas were a delight. Mark, Shauna and Terrance were so very helpful.

Beautiful Villa

Perfect size Villa for large families or groups of friends. There were 15 people total in our group and we had plenty of space. It’s a beautiful home with 2 pools and numerous patios around the house. The fruit trees/jungle in back of the house makes it feel very private and secluded, which we loved. Sophia, the house keeper, was very nice and welcoming. Check-in process was easy and excellent communication from the owners.

Great place to stay for a group

Mark and Shauna were great hosts. They were very Communicative and prompt during the booking process and the place was clean and in great shape. Just keep in mind that the house is on a hill and has lots of stairs. It has 2 pools that can be used on a relaxing day and around 15 minutes walk from the beach and nearby restaurants/stores. You can take a local bus from a nearby bus stop. Terrence and Sophia were very helpful and provided us lots of information on what to do and where to go. We would absolutely go back to this house on our next visit to Barbados.

The 2 kitchens are a bonus. The younger ones in our group could walk to the mall but a car is needed for anyone who can’t walk far. The staff are great and very eager to make the most of your stay.

Birthday Celebration

We booked Bruadair to celebrate my husband’s 80th birthday with our three children and their other halves. The property gave us all room to spread ourselves with our own rooms and a beautiful bathroom each. Sophia regaled us with stories each day and restored the property to its sparkling self before she left. The walk back from the beach kept us fit and we were able to prepare our evening meals with ease thanks to very well equipped kitchens. We loved the pools and having a sunbed each. I can’t finish without mentioning the monkeys! They were a daily source of entertainment, but never came into the house. A peaceful location ideal for family gatherings.

We got lucky managing to book this!

I somehow managed to get this villa for a group of 10 of us. It is insane. 3 levels, 2 pools, and just all-around incredible. The location is great - easy access to West and East and North coasts (west in particular). It's lovely and quiet, there are little monkeys occasionally, and you really feel you are in a rainforest. It is extremely well equipped with 2 kitchens, all en-suite bedrooms (7 in all), nice BBQ, good Wi-Fi, very secure, lovely terraces on each floor etc. The owners are so nice and helpful, and Sophia the cleaner was extremely kind and cheery. I honestly have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. It is absolutely incredible.

Galpal Getaway

Location! Location! Location! While not on the beach, it is perfectly located with monkeys and a lovely jungle setting at your backdoor. It is a short walk (10-15 minutes) to the beach and restaurants. We are a group of 9 women who each year travel to a new destination for fun, laughter, perhaps a bit of wine (or maybe a lot)!! - Villa Bruadair checked all our boxes for a fabulous time. Having a bathroom for each of us was a definite plus. Hosts: Shauna and Mark are great, housekeeper:Sophia helpful, Terrence: property manager attentative to our needs - although we are pretty independent gals so did not need to call on him during our stay. My tip is:Don't walk the road at night but easy access during the day for sure. Book this Villa and it will not disappoint!

Incredible stay for our wedding

We stayed at this Villa for a week in May for our wedding. The Villa itself is stunning, with plenty of space for 14 people. Each bedroom had air con and the facilities are exactly as described, with everything you would need. The outdoor space is brilliant - with 2 pools, balcony’s on each floor and the ground floor which had plenty of seating, sun loungers, a Bar and BBQ. We used the outdoor space to host our evening wedding reception and turned the area by the gazebo into a dance floor, which was perfect. The location is great, it’s a short walk into town to access the beach, shops etc and it backs onto the forest, so it’s very peaceful and private. We loved watching the monkeys every morning whilst enjoying a morning coffee. I would recommend this place to anyone as it’s even more stunning in person but I’d particularly recommend it to those looking to get married in Barbados as it made the perfect venue.

Our family stay at Bruadair

We stayed at Bruadair for our family reunion in July 2022. There were 12 of us in total and we rented the entire property. We had enough room to move around with 3 floors, plenty of cooking space with 2 kitchens and two pools for everyone to enjoy swimming. Terrence, the property manager did a great job of welcoming us on arrival and making sure the house was maintained during our stay. Sophie did a fantastic job of keeping the house clean and maintained while we were there. Also we HIGHLY recommend Ruth's OMG Caterer Services. Chef Ruth catered breakfast for us when we arrived and a dinner a few nights before we left. All the food was delicious, she is an excellent chef with a beautiful spirit. A few things to keep in mind while staying at the villa. You really will need a car or transportation to get around. Holetown is really close - easily a 10 minute or less walk, but there are no sidewalks and the roads are narrow. We found ourselves driving most of the time. Also there are a lot of insects. We had plenty of sprays but found the green smoke coils worked best. Overall a fanastic stay!

A great house in a great location

This is a great property that swallows up guests! So much space that you can easily find somewhere to spend time alone or all get together for games, food etc. Probably the best property that I’ve ever stayed in! It’s hard to picture it in the photos but it has 3 floors; you enter on the top floor which has 3 bedrooms and a smaller kitchen, the middle floor via internal stairs also has 3 bedrooms around a lounge area with TV etc so quite good for socialising etc and then the downstairs floor via internal stairs again which has one bedroom and the big kitchen which you can all sit around. A smaller pool on the top floor which is a sun trap and then the larger pool is downstairs with more space and chairs etc. A great set up for all!! We were an extended family of 11 that went over for Christmas. We tended to have breakfast in the downstairs kitchen with enough seating for us all and plenty of utensils to cook what you like. We then would walk down to the beach (about 10 mins) in hole down and have lunch/dinner at one of the many restaurants and bars. There is a variety from relatively cheap to expensive so you have a choice and also various happy hours for drinks from 4pm onwards. I would recommend a car to bring supplies from the supermarket, Masseys is a 2 minute drive away and is large and also to drive around the island to see other sights. Thank you very much, we had an amazing holiday!!

An AMAZING stay at a beautiful villa

Shauna and Mark are great, prior to me arriving they were friendly and professional, dealt with all request in a timely manner - very accommodating to the little quirks of my family. Thank you so much Shauna and Mark, you have a lovely home and are very warm people. The Villa did not disappoint, it was clean and tidy and huge! On arrival Terrance was there to greet me. Terrance was great, he helped me move the luggage into the villa, walked me through the house and showed me everything I needed to know to enjoy the stay, thank you! Sofia, the house keeper, all I can say is Amazing, a warm and lovely person, she went about her work in a professional manner, but also got to know us all (13 people) by name, she even made suggestions on things to do based on people interest, not many people in the world have a heart as big as her, and I can genuinely say she taught me a fair few things. Thank you! Chara, the other house keeper, was great at her job, fast and efficient, under Sofia’s instruction they worked effectively, but still had time for a little chit chat (my family is very chatty). Thank you! The villa was amazing, clean, spacious, with lots to do and very well situated for tourist. Over all I would say 10/10, as many hands as it must have taken to build this villa, it’s truly the hearts of the owner and staff that made it feel like home over our two week stay. From our family to yours, thank you for such an amazing stay.

What a wonderful review Rachel, it’s lovely when the hard work and care given by all involved in Bruadair is recognised, thank you so much. I have passed your review onto Terrence and Sophia who will be delighted. I hope that if you return to Barbados again in the future we will have the pleasure of your company. Thank you again Rachel and family 🥰

Hi everyone! My name is Mark Gale, myself and my family are the proud owners of Villa Bruadair. Back in 2001, I fell in love with Barbados whilst working there and decided that I would build a dream villa for others to enjoy. We aim to ensure that your stay at Bruadair is a truly amazing experience and will do everything in our power to ensure that your visit is an unforgettable one! We aim to go above and beyond in order to meet your specific requirements; many additional services can be arranged to make your experience as unique and unforgettable as possible.

Why they chose this property

The idea of Villa Bruadair was to create a private and relaxing setting where one can become immersed in the luxuriant surroundings of this idealistic environment. The Villa was built on a previously unused plot overlooking a luscious rainforest setting, home to a multitude of wildlife, including monkeys, who regularly can be seen swinging through the canopy.
A brilliant aspect of the Villa is that it is privately set away from the outside world, allowing you to relax in peace. However, less than a ten minute walk away, you can find stunning west coast beaches, welcoming bars, and award-winning restaurants!
Why choose Barbados over any other Caribbean island? I have visited many Caribbean islands, and from my own personal experience, Barbados is in a league of its own! From the welcoming locals to the vibrant, exciting culture, exploring the island is bound to be an exciting, pleasurable and truly memorable experience! Of course, if exploring isn't for you, Barbados oozes with opulence. A great example of this is the Lime Grove lifestyle centre, situated a few minutes away from the Villa and boasting one of the best luxury and duty-free shopping experiences on the island.

What makes this property unique

The most unique benefit of this Villa is the duality of its purposes. Other than the tranquil, breathtaking tropical setting of the Villa, one can experience some of the island's best nightlife and dining out experiences mere minutes away.
Spaciousness is always a crucial part of having a relaxing holiday. With seven bedrooms, two swimming pools, two fully-fitted kitchens and plenty of outdoor seating, Villa Bruadair allows its guests the luxury of space. The size of the Villa means that it is suited for large groups of people, from family reunions to sporting societies and weddings, we specialize in making sure your stay is as special as possible.
If your idea of a holiday is one of pampering and relaxing, we can organise trained butlers and personal chefs to cater to your every need. With Villa Bruadair, no request is too big or too small!
