The Sands has been declared the Most Elegant Property ever built in Barbados.
This latest international acclaim comes as locals know little to nothing about the property that sits as an imposing figure in Paynes Bay on the west coast of the island.
The International Business Times, a global business blog that reviews properties. global markets and international firms turned its attention to Barbados’ platinum coast and “The Sands” which sits just a few minutes drive from Holetown.
The property which has been described by many as striking for the land area it stands on has brokered very little local involvement from Barbados, and for some has not been welcomed with open arms.
But in April 2010, one of the most successful Barbadian real estate firms, Altman Real Estate brokered a marketing strategy for the exclusive property. Up till that time, there was no local involvement in the property.
According to the International Business Times report, the elite gated community, the Sands, is located in Saint James. The Sands is an exclusive luxury compound adjacent to the wondrous Sandy Lane Beach and is made up of eight super-size luxury villas. The houses range from 8,000 to 9,500 square feet of living space in addition to private terraces and communal areas outdoors.
Furthermore it is asserted, “These opulent residences are magical throughout with vaulted ceilings, spiral staircases, marble floors, and the decorative touch of various internationally renowned interior decorators. Lucky residents of these deluxe single-family mansions also tap into all the amenities of the five-star Sandy Lane Hotel, including the Tom Fazio-designed Green Monkey championship golf course, year round.”

Pity the raw sewage from these eight super-size luxury villas ends up on the beach outside for people walking along this beautiful stretch of beach to see and smell!
Brenda. You should have noticed the sewage treatment plant at the roadside under a small roof. Actually the outcome of this is pretty clear water. You may have smelled something else.
who owns the property?? and that water is no longer clear either
The Russian owner of the Chelsea football team bought the entire property after his friend bought one of the rooms.
