St Nicholas Abbey: Visit a Restored 350-Year-Old Plantation
St Nicholas Abbey is one of the grand plantation homes of early Barbados. Barbados was colonized by the British in 1627. The sugar plantation St Nicholas Abbey was built in 1658; it stands as one of the island's oldest surviving plantations, its 400 acres still intact.
Today, the golden sugar grown in Barbados produces some of the world's best rums. St Nicholas Abbey hand-bottles its own straight from the barrel into elegant glass decanters etched with an image of the great house.
Spend awhile at St Nicholas .. wander the gardens; greet Lance and Baby, the Moluccan Cockatoos (Lance, the male, says Hello Baby); enjoy browsing the jams and chutneys for sale; and have lunch or afternoon tea on the terrace overlooking the lush tropical gully.

Saint Peter's Bay Resorts, Barbados, The Wine Ladies TV Part 2
Best of Barbados... on your bucket list! Breathtaking Barbados...offers a bounty for all the senses...
We are headed out to Saint Peters Bay located on the north west coast of the island which boasts beautiful beaches, is referred to as the Barbados Riviera and is known for its rich history and genuine charm. This is where our home away from home Saint Peter's Bay Resort and Luxury Residences is located. It is truly a paradise resort our new friend promises.
And so it is! The entire property, fifty-seven beachfront homes, are all surrounded by glorious lush gardens, steps away from a beautiful lagoon style pool and just a few more steps away from the beach and the brilliant turquoise Caribbean.
Saint Peter's Bay is a part of the UNNA properties whose focus is on offering a private club experience to the guests in an elegant, top-notch and relaxed environment. A Bajan brand if you will...nicknamed as the place for flip-flop millionaires, no pretensions here, where you can do as much or as little as you wish, take in the sun, the sea, the spa or the gym. Enjoy a massage on the roof-top before returning to your suite where UNNA's personal Chef Anthony Junior might have prepared a delicious meal for you, your family or your dinner party! All you have to do is ask! Just a taste of the full service amenities abundant here at the resort. The perfect R&R... relaxation in a beautiful refined environment.
Our abode includes spacious beautifully appointed rooms, impeccably decorated with each bedroom having a step out or balcony and a luxurious bathroom (with a jacuzzi in the en-suite bedroom). There is a fully equipped kitchen with a mini fridge stocked with a variety of champagnes, of wine and Banks beer, made right here on the island.
Our patio doors open to a gardener's delight, vibrant , colourful flowers and foliage steps from our dining table, a seating area a la carte... and an outdoor jacuzzi to relax and unwind in after a full day at the beach, a visit to the Animal Flower Caves, Saint Nicholas Abbey and Rum distillery (delish 15 year old rum anyone?) or perhaps a rendezvous with a coconut- rum cocktail mixologist!
The Animal Flower Cave Stupendous!Discovered in 1754 The Animal Flower Cave is located at the most northerly point of Barbados where the Atlantic and the Caribbean clash! The caves of limestone and coral are intoxicating beautiful as is the view available through several openings. Inside you can spot natural formations on the walls including a discernible turtle, and a lizard in green and brown due to the oxidation of the copper and the iron.The name Animal Flower Cave comes from the sea anemones found in the pools of the cave. We put them to the test with our neon-pink painted nails... will they bite? That is the $64,000 question. YES! I hardly felt a thing!
Next excursion, swimming... never mind dolphins, we got turtles!
Barbados is home to many a Hawksbill and Leatherback ready to share the sea! Although turtles until recently were an endangered species thanks to the great efforts of groups such as The Turtle Project these wondrous mammals are back on track. Heading out our captain assures us this will be a thrill of a lifetime as the hawksbill turtles are not shy and we will soon be rubbing shoulders with these amazing creatures. The turtle's evolutionary roots trace back more than 100 million years! And not too many species can make that declaration! Here at Saint Peter's Bay the green turtles actually lay their eggs on our beach, a sight to behold, hundreds all at once! How beautiful is nature?
The Wine Ladies become the Rum Ladies... temporarily!
St. Nicholas Abbey, Rum Distillery A historic building, dating back to 1650 St. Nicholas Abbey gives the visitor a great sense of that time with an awesome tour that includes the ground floor of the house, containing many antiques, the rum and sugar museum as well as the gardens and the rum distillery. We particularly enjoy the distillery, as we witness the harvesting and the crushing of the sugar cane, which is done with the use of a restored 19th century steam-mill. We sample the raw sugar cane as it comes in...giving it a chew. Apparently the raw juice contains only about 15% total sugar content with the balance being water chock full of vitamins and minerals Very cool! To the tasting, of Saint Nicholas Abbey rum, still produced in the traditional process that made Barbadian rum famous over 350 years ago, fav is the 15 year old rum with notes of banana and caramel, rich and delish!
More to come.... cocktails, culinary specialties and snapshots of a time gone by in beautiful Barbados!

Saint Peter's Bay Resort and Luxury Residences, truly an oasis!
... our adventures continue on this spectacular island, including a private viewing of the works of world renown artist Andrew Hewkin exhibiting right here at the resort, a steady stream of mouth-watering Bajan culinary specialties, a Bajan roof-top aerobics class, and awesome shopping with stunning diamonds...and lots of them!
Best of all, all captured with the acute lens of Celebrity Stylist and Photographer Korby Banner! A regular contributor to PIE Bookazine, (a mini-Vanity Fair) Korby is internationally known for his Style by Jury TV show airing in over 40 countries in eight languages. We are so gifted to have the gift of Korby's talent to make us look and feel our best!
Saint Peter's Bay draws the best of the best.... Andrew Hewkin, international renown artist, with his works hanging in personal collections of Sir Michael Caine, Jack Nicholosn, David Bowie and members of royalty, discusses a piece hanging here in this stunning space, the penthouse. This piece is one of over 45 incredible works of art which make up this exhibition Revisiting Barbados. This piece showcases the fabric of the many different people that live on the island that Andrew has come to know, with individual eccentricities, a colorful joyful community, so easy to be around and enjoy.
Another piece, very dear to Andrew's heart, a journey that took three days to travel to. Here in Papau New Guinea over this rickety bridge he traversed, safety at risk.... the final piece is stunning.
This exhibition showcases Hewkin's stunning interpretation of the social and ecological changes he has observed over the last forty years in Barbados... and captured on his canvases
The Barbados Revisited exhibition. This exhibition is hosted in association with Chattel House Realty. Thank you to Jeremy, the paintings were captivating, thought provoking and set in one of the most beautiful venues ever... over looking the turquoise sea, white beach and kalidoscope of flora and foliage below.
