Barbados is a dream destination, and for those seeking a blend of luxury and sustainability, there’s no better way to experience the island than through carefully curated experiences that align with your values. From staying at one of the stunning One Caribbean Estates houses to dining at eco-conscious restaurants, here’s how to enjoy a sustainable yet indulgent trip to Barbados.
Where to Stay: Rent a One Caribbean Estate House
For those seeking a truly luxurious stay, look no further than the exceptional properties offered by One Caribbean Estates. We had the pleasure of shooting our Spring Summer collection at the stunning Villa Tamarindo. Nestled on the west coast of the island, this villa offers unparalleled beach views, world-class amenities, and the perfect blend of elegance and comfort. Thanks to @onecaribbeanestates and @villatamarindo for providing such a beautiful location. Dreaming of your own slice of paradise?

Renting a One Caribbean Estates house is not only the ultimate in exclusivity but also offers the opportunity to embrace sustainability in luxury. Many of these estate homes are designed with eco-conscious features - think solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and natural building materials. You can rest assured that your stay is both indulgent and aligned with a sustainable lifestyle.
Some of the most beautiful estate houses can be found in areas like St. James and Holetown, where you can enjoy private pools, personalised services, and stunning beachfronts. It’s the perfect way to unwind in comfort while also supporting sustainable travel practices.
If you’re looking for alternative places to stay, Barbados offers a variety of luxurious and eco-friendly options. Consider renting an eco-lodge for a sustainable and serene getaway surrounded by nature. For a more traditional luxury experience, the Sandpiper Hotel and Coral Reef Club on the west coast provide exceptional service, lush tropical gardens, and easy access to some of the island’s best beaches.
Our Spring/Summer 2025 photoshoot captured the essence of effortless elegance and sustainability that define Aspiga. The stunning scenery of Barbados and the luxurious One Caribbean Estates provided the perfect backdrop for shooting our new swimwear range, holiday dresses and our vibrant lightweight blouses.

Where to Eat: Sea Shed and La Cabane

These two restaurants offer an authentic, eco-conscious dining experience, perfect for those who want to enjoy local flavors while minimising their environmental impact.
Sea Shed: Eco-Friendly Dining with a View
Nestled on the famous Reeds Bay, Sea Shed combines the best of island seafood with an eco-conscious ethos. The restaurant is committed to serving locally-sourced, sustainable seafood, and their menu is full of fresh, organic ingredients. Expect to indulge in beautifully prepared dishes while gazing at the turquoise waters, all within a space that’s designed with sustainability in mind. The use of natural, locally sourced materials in the restaurant's construction and its focus on zero waste practices makes Sea Shed the perfect blend of luxury and sustainability.
