The Villa

Laughing Waters is one of the most prestigious private estates in Sandy Lane, Barbados, offering a rare combination of scale, privacy, and refined Caribbean elegance. Set across four acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this extraordinary 12-bedroom estate rivals the world’s finest luxury villas and provides an exceptional setting for large groups, multi-generational families, or special celebrations.

The estate is thoughtfully arranged across three principal buildings—the Main House, the Guest Cottage, and the Great House—allowing guests to enjoy both shared experiences and complete privacy. Designed by renowned architect Larry Warren, Laughing Waters blends classic Caribbean architecture with sophisticated design details, including plush furnishings, imported linens, dramatic chandeliers, seashell-accented drapery, and tranquil water features throughout.

High-speed secured Wi-Fi is available across the entire property, and Bluetooth-enabled surround sound allows guests to curate the perfect atmosphere for every occasion.

The Location

Laughing Waters is ideally located within the exclusive Sandy Lane Estate on Barbados’ platinum West Coast. Guests enjoy complete privacy while being just moments from one of the island’s most celebrated beaches. The Sandy Lane Estate Beach Club—reserved exclusively for estate owners and guests—is a short drive away and offers private beach access, shaded loungers, changing facilities, a bar, and refreshments served directly on the sand.

Sandy Lane Beach itself is only steps away, where private loungers are prepared daily. Guests may stroll to the Beach Club Bar for a drink or request service from the estate’s attentive butlers. The location combines the serenity of a private estate with easy access to world-class beaches, golf, dining, and shopping.

The Bedrooms

The three-storey Main House features eight spacious en-suite bedrooms, each with central air conditioning and large walk-in wardrobes. Several suites include additional luxuries such as private living areas, secluded patios, sunlit soaking tubs, and serene outdoor spaces designed for rest.

The separate Guest Cottage offers four additional en-suite bedrooms and functions as a self-contained residence with indoor-outdoor living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and a discreet office space for guests who may need to work during their stay.

Between the Main House and Guest Cottage, Asian-inspired gardens, koi ponds, and winding stone pathways lined with exotic plants and towering palms create a peaceful transition through the estate, leading to the impressive Great House.

Indoors

Indoor living at Laughing Waters is designed to be both luxurious and welcoming. Elegant lounges and dining spaces flow effortlessly into outdoor areas, creating a seamless sense of openness. A fully equipped children’s playroom allows younger guests to enjoy their own space, with nannies able to supervise nearby while adults relax.

For wellness and fitness, the estate includes a fully outfitted gym, while the open grassy area near the Great House is ideal for yoga, meditation, or quiet morning stretches surrounded by nature.

The outdoor pavilion at the Main House is the crown jewel of Laughing Waters. This spectacular space centres around a large swimming pool and offers the ultimate open-air entertainment experience. Guests can relax poolside with cocktails, enjoy movies on the state-of-the-art outdoor screen, or gather for unforgettable meals in the whimsical treehouse-style dining area.

Every outdoor space has been designed to encourage relaxation, connection, and enjoyment of the tropical surroundings, whether lounging, dining, entertaining, or simply taking in the beauty of the estate.
