16 | LUXlife Magazine estled in the West Coast region of Barbados, Villa Casablanca at Sandy Lane is a gem set in a dazzling destination that welcomes thousands of visitors every year. This two-acre sanctuary is home to utmost sophistication and tailored hospitality that keeps people coming back for more. To Director Evlyn, and her team, luxury ultimately means “elevating every moment not with excess but with intention”. She continued: “It’s about designing stays that honor the environment, celebrate the culture, and most importantly, leave our guests transformed. Our idea of luxury is a brand that feels intimate yet expansive, offering exclusivity without losing sight of the broader community. At Villa Casablanca, exclusivity means waking up to handpicked artisan-made décor that tells a story of local craftsmanship. It’s the personal touch of a private dinner on the terrace, where each dish is thoughtfully sourced from local options and community support.” Casablanca sleeps 14 guests within seven bedrooms, with five bedrooms at the main house and two bedrooms in the guest cottage. There are seven bathrooms in total, with multiple living areas to relax in. The swimming pool and the surrounding idyllic gardens are hotspots for rejuvenation and the chance to soak up the air, the sun, and, of course, the gorgeous view. By offering these amenities and paying close attention to detail for every request, from each serving of food and drink to the crafting of bespoke experiences unique to each guest, Villa Casablanca truly does it all. Evlyn added: “We never compromise on the small details, because it's the little things that create the biggest impact and turn a stay into an unforgettable story.” “We share a story, and each traveller also can craft their own story – one they are the star of and one we celebrate, which brings returning guests, time and time again.” As the industry and local economy rely on innovation mixed with sustainability in the travel and tourism sector, it’s clear to see that Villa Casablanca is contributing to both. Villa Casablanca not only prides itself on its offering to its guests, but the entire team is committed to supporting the environment and local community in as many ways as possible.
