many of which are second homes to fortunate Barbadian families. These have been passed down from one generation to the next, rendering the prospect of ownership on this coast virtually impossible - until now. INTRODUCING BEACH HOUSES
ESCAPE TO THE EAST COAST Barbados has always been an island of beautiful contradictions - its world-famous “Platinum” West Coast, playground for the rich and famous, is the veritable anti-thesis to its lesser known East Coast. Charmingly rustic and breathtakingly beautiful, the island’s East Coast has remained largely untouched by the passage of time. There are no jet skis, condominiums or night clubs to be found here, only dramatic limestone cliffs, endless waves colliding with expanses of windswept beaches and a way of life not seen since days gone by. This is the other side of Barbados… timeless, unspoilt and secluded. Holding a special place in the hearts of Barbadians, 99% of the East Coast, stretching from Archer’s Bay in St. Lucy to Consett Bay in St. John, has been set aside as a National Park so that future generations may forever enjoy the most spectacular natural beauty the Caribbean has to offer. Today, its quaint fishing villages are home to rustic ‘beach houses’,
Crane Resorts, developer of the highly successful Crane Residential Resort on the island’s South-East Coast, is developing a new, very exclusive residential community - Beach Houses. A secluded, low density and ecofriendly development overlooking Skeete’s Bay Beach and Culpepper Island, Beach Houses has been specially designed to accentuate the property’s exclusive location on the 1% of the East Coast that remains outside of Barbados’ National Park. Managing Director, Paul Doyle explains, “The Crane has always appealed to those who want to ‘get away from it all’ and our new development Beach Houses was conceptualised and designed for those who want to really get away. We’ve been fortunate to acquire a magnificent site on the island’s East Coast, where land development has been historically restricted. The preservation of most of the East Coast as a National Park ensures that this beautiful stretch of coastline will remain untouched forever. Now, with our model home completed and the entire project designed - Beach Houses offers a ‘Grenadines’ feel of seclusion to buyers right here in Barbados.”
