Apes Hill Barbados, the island’s most elevated golf resort and residential community, is experiencing a significant rise in interest from overseas property buyers, with 40% of this year’s enquiries coming from the UK. As global appetite for second homes in the Caribbean grows, British buyers are increasingly drawn to Barbados for its year-round sunshine, low crime rates, and political stability.
Located 1,000 feet above sea level and spanning 475 acres, Apes Hill offers sweeping views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. Its unique mix of high-end luxury, unspoiled nature, and sustainability initiatives has positioned it as a sought-after destination for multi-generational families and investors alike.
British businessman Douglas Craig, who recently purchased a villa at Apes Hill, highlighted the area’s appeal: “Barbados is an ideal second home destination. The west coast offers limited real estate, which makes property here a sound investment and a lasting legacy for families.”
Under new ownership, the Apes Hill golf course has undergone a major transformation. Now part of a thriving residential community, the resort includes a diverse collection of homes, from three-bedroom villas to six-bedroom bespoke residences. Sustainability plays a central role, with initiatives including solar-powered villas, electric golf carts, and 60 acres dedicated to organic farming and beekeeping.
In 2025, Apes Hill will debut its new Hilltop Villas – contemporary, single-storey four-bedroom homes overlooking the 19th Hole and Little Apes short course. Designed for both comfort and environmental consciousness, the villas feature PV solar systems and EV charging points.
The resort also offers a wide range of family-friendly amenities, including a 9-hole course for juniors, padel and tennis courts, hiking trails, and curated children’s activities.
