The owners of Seastar House believe that true luxury doesn't have to come at the expense of our planet. That's why every decision - from initial design to daily operations - has been guided by a deep commitment to minimising our environmental footprint while enhancing our guests' connection to Barbados' natural beauty.
While Seastar House offers the ultimate in Caribbean luxury - elegant biophilic design and personalised service - what truly sets this villa apart is its unwavering commitment to minimising environmental impact without compromising the guest experience. In a region where freshwater is a precious resource, Seastar House takes responsible water management seriously. The villa's innovative rainwater catchment system collects and stores over 3,000 gallons of water exclusively for irrigation purposes. This sustainable approach ensures the property's lush tropical landscaping thrives without placing unnecessary demands on local water supplies.
Seastar House's environmental commitment began during its construction phase, with careful planning to batch order materials and minimise transportation impacts. Throughout construction, we meticulously recycled waste materials including wood, cardboard, and plastics. The luxurious guest experience extends to the bathroom amenities, where you'll find exquisite botanical toiletries produced locally by St. Lucy Botanists, which we refill to avoid wasting bottles. These premium products showcase Barbados' natural botanicals while supporting local artisanal production.
The owner is particularly proud that Seastar House is the first villa in Barbados to participate in the One Dollar Initiative. For every guest night at our property, we donate one dollar directly to the Barbados Environmental Conservation Trust.
Note. The outdoor ice-cold tub is chargeable at US$200 per week if the desired temperature is below 10 degrees to be used as an ice bath. Use as a normal cold plunge is free of charge.
