St. James, Barbados; June 26, 2025 – Apes Hill Barbados, the casually elegant, critically acclaimed Caribbean resort and residential community, reports rising interest and sales from North Americans seeking transcendent places to visit and live.
Located 1,000 feet above sea level, Apes Hill Barbados is the most elevated resort and community in Barbados, spanning 475 acres comprised of lush tropical vegetation, indigenous gullies, health-promoting clean air, and panoramic views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
The sumptuous collection of residences at Apes Hill seamlessly blend with the environment, showcasing how nature, eco-conscious architectural design and technology converge across the verdant landscape. Sleek and modern residences can be found ranging from 3- and 4-bedroom villas to bespoke homes of up to six bedrooms.
With its beautifully diverse landscape, golden beaches, and rich cultural heritage alongside a stunning mix of high-end luxury locations led by purposefully unpretentious Apes Hill, Barbados has seen a rise in global appetite for vacations and second homes in the island. Barbados’ allure also stems from numerous strongpoints – low crime, top-notch educational system, highly skilled local workforce, world-class medical facilities, robust infrastructure, and a strong sense of community built on Barbadians’ pride, resilience and resourcefulness.
“Americans and Canadians are increasingly seeking places that bring harmony, happiness, and wellness into their lives,” said Cheryl Franklin, Head of Brand Development & International Marketing. “We’re seeing more visitors and sales inquiries from the North American market.”
Sustainability is a way of life at Apes Hill. With 60 acres dedicated to farming livestock, 40 beehives, vegetable gardens, and 17 acres for fruit trees, it is committed to preserving biodiversity. Planting passion fruit, lime trees, and other native plants helps reinforce a vibrant ecosystem. An abundant organic farm on site provides fresh produce used in the first-class cuisine served at Apes Hill in the Noisy Cricket Restaurant and the 20th Hole al fresco venue.
Visitors in 2025 can now experience new 4-bedroom Hilltop Villas, featuring distinct contemporary single-story designs. The villas overlook the resort’s “Little Apes” 9-hole par-3 short course and the bonus 19th Hole, with soothing westerly views of the Caribbean Sea.
The environmentally conscious and sustainable design of the Hilltop Villas is further enhanced with the incorporation of PV solar systems, the surrounding outdoor bioswale system, complimentary electric golf carts and villa charging points provided to guests and residents for the duration of their stay. This ensures seamless and convenient transportation for guests and their families throughout the resort.
Multi-generational families find Apes Hill particularly appealing with a range of opportunities for all ages including Little Apes, Padel and traditional tennis courts, tropical hiking trails, and off-site beach experiences. With additional features including pools at each villa, in-villa massages, bespoke chef’s private dinners, and onsite babysitters, Apes Hill enables enriching family getaways.
Each season, the team at Apes Hill creates engaging activities to keep younger guests entertained. From holiday celebrations to kite-making, Padel tournaments and sport workshops, every moment is designed to enthuse younger guests.
Complementing the luxury villa offerings are wellbeing activities and workshops. The thoughtfully curated programmes entice Apes Hill residents and guests to embark on a personalized wellbeing journey. They blend movement and creativity with authentic and cultural experiences for which the destination is known, such as mindful painting, clay building, outdoor yoga and storytelling.
