I Elysia Pountney, Elegant Resorts


“In Barbados, five-star ratings don’t just account for the incredible facilities on offer, the exceptional dining and the stunning beachside locations, but also for the people.

COBBLERS COVE Best for: A boutique haven


Among a canopy of lush foliage and thickets of vibrant fauna (some of which are sent to London’s Chelsea Flower Show each year), the white sands on the doorstep of Cobblers Cove are peppered with pink-and-white-striped parasols. This shade of coral has become synonymous with the historic property – the main building is clad in the colour, while accents of it are used everywhere from the curtains in the suites to the Cobblers speedboat. Guests will have no


trouble finding tranquillity at this boutique hotel – there are 42 rooms and suites spread across the grounds, each with a private terrace or balcony to enjoy views across the garden and out towards the ocean. Cobblers Cove offers


stays on a bed-and- breakfast basis as well as half-board and full-board, but however your clients choose to dine, one thing that shouldn’t be missed is the live entertainment (except Wednesdays) that brings the bar to life every evening. cobblerscove.com
