14 | LUXlife Magazine Villa Casablanca Luxury Villa Wedding Venue of the Year 2025 – Barbados & LUXlife Hospitality Excellence Award 2025 The west coast of Barbados is home to Villa Casablanca, a superb, two-acre luxury villa that can host up to 14 guests at a time across seven lavish bedrooms complete with en-suite bathrooms. Situated within the prestigious Sandy Lane resort, the property thrives on creating intimate and bespoke wedding experiences for its guests, with each event designed to reflect the deeply personal love story of the couple in question. On the back of this duo of awards, we caught up with the property’s owner, Evlyn Mondo, to find out more about Barbados’ premier villa wedding venue. When it comes to choosing the location of a dream wedding, the decision should not be taken lightly. Barbados, with its crystal-blue waters, seemingly endless beaches, and vibrant culture, is the ideal place to tie the knot, making it one of the most popular destinations on the planet for an overseas wedding. Situated in the heart of a private tropical paradise, Villa Casablanca embodies everything great about the island, which is often referred to as the jewel of the Caribbean as a result of its internationally unrivalled beauty. Spacious and professionally decorated to an impeccable standard, all 7,000 square feet of the property – as well as its adjoining 2,000 square-foot cottage – offer luxurious living and total comfort. From its patios and its lounging areas to the bar and fully equipped kitchen, every element of Villa Casablanca has been meticulously designed to embody this coveted idea of the perfect luxury escape. This, combined with the array of comprehensive and personalised wedding concierge services on offer, makes this the perfect venue. Thanks to its on-site concierge team, Villa Casablanca is able to deliver a bespoke service at every turn for its guests, tailoring every element of an experience so that it fully aligns with a couple’s vision. After all, as Evlyn told us: “Our mission is to transform dreams into reality by delivering unparalleled service, attention to detail, and authentic Barbadian hospitality. Thus, Evlyn continued: “We aim to create not just events but also cherished memories that resonate for a lifetime.” With weddings becoming increasingly tailored and experiential, this refined destination has long remained ahead of the curve by always delivering an experience fitting of every couple’s unique style. Moreover, against the backdrop of rising popularity seen across both destination weddings and sustainable experiences, Villa Casablanca is able to succeed by affording its guests the opportunity to rent out the entire property and enjoy all that is has to offer for both the ceremony itself and beyond. “Our property provides an idyllic spacious estate or beach options perfect for intimate ceremonies. Recognising the importance of sustainability, we also collaborate with locals to uphold our standards and practices and support the community.” Beyond these strong ties with the local community, another cornerstone of Villa Casablanca is the internal culture it boasts, which promotes an environment of consistent excellence rooted in a deep passion for hospitality. Every member of the tremendous local team embodies these values, leading to an agile, responsive ecosystem reflected in the high-quality weddings they frequently host. Such a setting also means that the team are continuing to push boundaries and elevate their wedding services for couples from around the world. Following on from this, Evlyn explained: “We are always investigating what is coming next for international luxury travel and creative ways to take our guest experiences to the next level. As we move through 2025, Villa Casablanca remains committed to adapting to the evolving preferences of couples worldwide. By embracing the appropriate trends and continuously enhancing our services, we aim to solidify our position as Barbados’ premier destination for unforgettable weddings.” In essence, Villa Casablanca leads the charge when it comes to top wedding destinations, serving as a beacon of luxury travel in Barbados in the process. Allowing couples and their guests to ‘buy out’ the property and revel in the estate’s luxurious amenities – including its private pool, tennis court, private chef and butler, and full concierge service – the result is a secluded paradise and the best of the best when it comes sustainable destination weddings. Recognised in the programme with two welldeserved awards, this luxury villa wedding venue in Barbados is setting the standard for all others to follow.
