Overview
We are proud to announce the first FIVE STAR resort development on Barbados for twenty years.
This exclusive development is ideally situated with its own secluded beach and cliff-top location on the south-east coast of this paradise Island.
Barbados has an endearingly British atmosphere and cricket is the national sport. But despite the British influence, it is a cosmopolitan country with a strong character of its own. It is prosperous and progressive and still full of natural charm; the Caribbean culture is very much evident in its cuisine, music and people.
The 5 star Hotel management company, Oasis Hotels & Resorts, will be responsible for the running of the resort, which includes the maintenance of the properties and the general up-keep and landscaping.
All studios and apartments will be at least a third larger than standard hotel accommodation.
All the studios/apartments will include full luxurious bathroom facilities, including a shower, complimentary toiletries and a hairdryer. Every room will have a plasma screen with satellite television, a safe, luxury bedding and all soft furnishings. There will be a table and chairs in each room, a fridge and tea making facilities. There will also be a table and chairs on the balcony.
Location
Barbados is the most easterly Caribbean Islands and part of the Lesser Antilles located where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the most popular luxury holiday destinations in the world. Renowned for its breathtaking scenery, the richness of its culture and above all the friendliness of its people it provides the best of all worlds - it is one of the best places to relax, but it's also full of chic restaurants, vibrant nightclubs and world-class golf courses.
Barbados enjoys a warm and sunny climate all year. It is predominantly flat with rolling hills to the north, and has a unique coral structure which acts as a natural filter making its waters amongst the purest in the world. The Atlantic east coast is less developed and ruggedly beautiful, offering some spectacular panoramas forged over millions of years by the powerful Atlantic Ocean's winds and waves.
The Merricks Beach Resort is situated in the south east of Barbados on the stunning Atlantic coast in the parish of St Philip, 4km north of The Crane and next to Sam Lord’s Castle just 20 minutes from the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport.
Pat Cash, Wimbledon champion, five times Grand Slam finalist, and winner of the Davis Cup twice, will be bringing the Academy to Buccament Bay and our other Caribbean resorts to provide unique training and coaching programmes including video analysis developed from Pat's many years of learning during his playing career.
His analytical approach and most recently the application of his knowledge in coaching on the professional tour will provide an environment where everyone will be given the opportunity to play tennis to the best of their ability, with encouragement and training to develop the skills necessary to enjoy the game at the level they wish to play.
Pat will also hold coaching clinics at each of the resorts and play in exhibition matches.

The Merricks, Barbados - Why Invest Here?
Reason 1:
Established and Growing Tourist Industry - Barbados has seen a huge increase in visitors to the island, from 17,829 in 1956 to 507,086 in 2001.
This means that as an investor in the tourist sector you will be putting your money into a destination that is well established and still growing - this offers security in the knowledge that Barbados is viewed by many people as the ‘safest bet’ in the Caribbean in terms of capital growth.
Barbados has never suffered from a property recession and property prices have increased steadily for the past 60 years, an impressive record. Continued demand and limited supply will ensure it continues for many years to come.
Reason 2:
Urban Renewal and Development - One Key aspect of successful property investment is to buy in the early stage of a regeneration initiative. This usually leads to increased prices, demand and re-sales.
Despite Barbados being one of the premier locations in the Caribbean, it is only just receiving significant regeneration investment and as an investor you stand to benefit.
Reason 3:
The Climate - The climate is tropical with temperatures ranging from 21 to 31 degrees celsius and a rainy season from June to October. Throughout the year the weather is warm and sunny with an average daytime high of 23 - 29 F. The nights are slightly cooler.
The weather is one of the major lures of Barbados and rightly so. The consistent weather and extended tourist season mean that Barbados remains an attractive holiday destination when other Islands are cooler or wetter. Long seasons means more income, which means greater yield and profit for the investor. Tropical rainstorms sometimes occur from June to October, however the rainfall is usually brief and dries off quickly. There has not been a hurricane in Barbados since 1952.
Reason 4:
Travel - The Merricks is only a 15 minute car journey from the Grantley Adams
International Airport. Over the next few years the airport is undergoing massive expansion. It will be the main gateway to the south and south-eastern Caribbean, especially for flights from Europe and North America.
Virgin Atlantic intend to increase the number of flights to Barbados once the Merricks is completed. In recent times they have reduced the number of flights because there was insufficient high quality accommodation available to fill demand.
The benefit of buying one of these prestigious residence homes is that they have the full use of all the facilities of the 5 star Merricks Beach Resort which includes a spa, gym, swimming pools and tennis courts. There are also bars and restaurants, a conference centre and local shops.
