If you love golf, this is the perfect setting for a golf getaway with a championship course that features 18 holes, lush fairways, water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers. There is also a family friendly Par 3 short course called “Little Apes”. Additionally, there is a state-of-the-art golf performance centre, putting and chipping greens, and a driving range. Impressive though that is, that's not all on offer at Apes Hill Barbados Golf Resort, there's also sunrise yoga classes, bootcamps, nature trails, padel and tennis courts, and fishing in the reservoir. Their luxury villas come well-equipped with all mod-cons, fully equipped kitchens and outdoor space with private pools and views overlooking the 18th fairway - ideal for dining and drinking al-fresco. The 20th Hole Restaurant serves up international flavours with a side of local bites from morning to evening. At the Noisy Cricket restaurant and bar, you can also grab some seasonal sharing plates with craft cocktails and take in the local vibes with themed evenings and signature Sunday lunches, the perfect end to a perfect day.

What a hidden gem! I cannot recommend this beautiful resort enough. The staff are beyond accommodating, and you are met with a smile and warmth from arrival at security, to the club, waiters and waitresses , guest experience team, and all staff around the resort. Our 3 bed villa was immaculate and finished to a high spec, including everything you could wish for, for self catering with amazing views over the lush 18th fairway, with accessibility to all amenities using the golf buggy. Our package included use of the buggy, 3 rounds of golf, breakfast and if required daily service of the villa. We utilised the tennis and paddle courts which were fabulous and easy to book! We hired a car and enjoyed access to the beach club 10 minutes drive away, adjacent to the Fairmont hotel and the beaches of the beautiful West coast. There was also a shuttle available from the resort. Having a car was helpful to access and visit other areas of interest on the island.
A fabulous 9 days spent with our 2 teenage sons.

If you are looking for beautiful surroundings, the comfort of a resort but the privacy of a luxurious villa and the most friendly staff oh and not to forget an extraordinary golf course 18 holes but also a beautiful 9 holes course to play with your kids. I would 100% recommend Apes Hill.
Not just for golfers and perfect for families

They truly thought of everything.

We had daily breakfast included which was served in a relaxed, peaceful setting, making every morning feel special. An easy win for our family was our own a safari-styled “island drive” on the villa’s golf buggy through the back nine— our young kids absolutely loved it!

From the time I was greeted when I first got there the experience was beyond great. The staff were amazing and helpful. Cody went above and beyond to make sure my stay was exceptional. She assisted me and planned my itinerary. She gave me a list of things to do outside the resort. She assisted me in delivering a car to me and also assisted me with shuttling me to the beach. Everything was amazing 5 star. The resort was so clean and beds were comfortable.
