About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
One of only 58 residences in the Sapphire Beach complex, Amikka is a duplex apartment of 1630 sq ft, situated right on Dover Beach on Barbados’ South West coast. Downstairs the apartment comprises a double bedroom with king sized bed, en-suite shower room, washer, drier and plentiful storage space. Sliding doors open onto your own patio and onto one of Sapphire Beach’s two private fresh water swimming pools with gated access directly onto Dover Beach. Upstairs there is a further double bedroom with king sized bed (rear facing) and en-suite bathroom, plentiful storage, fully fitted and well equipped kitchen, spacious living area leading onto a large covered balcony. Balcony has a six seat table for al fresco dining, whilst the double arch windows give you the opportunity to dine in privacy. The balcony is south facing and from here you will see fantastic sunsets over the Caribbean Sea. The apartment comes with TV, iPod dock, air-con in both bedrooms & lounge. Sapphire Beach has a private gym.
The local beach: our family has been lucky enough to be holidaying in Barbados for a good number of years. So we knew that one of the critical factors for us when we decided to purchase a property on island was the quality of the beach and the safety of the water. We know from experience that there are many beautiful properties on island but the beaches and sea around them can be difficult for young or inexperienced or unsteady swimmers and we wanted to ensure that our whole family, every generation, could enjoy their time together all day. Dover Beach is beautiful but also gently shelving and with much calmer water than even the immediately adjacent beach which we have struggled to swim from. It is the choice of local families at weekends for good reason!
The island: At just 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, Barbados rivals destinations several times its size. Surrounded by over 70 miles of white sand beaches distinguished as some of the finest in the Caribbean, the island has long attracted visitors to its shores. With a beautiful landscape dotted by pristine golf courses, polo fields and elegant estates, world-class restaurants, vibrant night life and an exciting social calendar of cultural, music and sporting events, Barbados is truly an island paradise.
The climate: Just outside the main hurricane belt, the island enjoys year-round sunshine, cooling north-east trade winds and just enough rainfall to maintain its lush tropical gardens, gullies and rolling green fields of sugar cane.
The people: Perhaps the island’s greatest asset is the warmth of its people. Barbadians are proud of their home and welcome visitors with open arms, making them feel as if they have lived next door all their life. We welcome you to experience the island’s unique culture and get a feel of what it truly means to be ‘Bajan’.

This property is excellent. Everything was as described in the listing. Property is very clean, property manager is responsive and the location is great. I would stay here again.
The location in St. Lawrence Gap was ideal. Close to all amenities. You could not beat the access to Dover Beach. The accommodation was well stocked and felt like home.
This was our first time visiting Barbados. It was beyond our expectations. The property and location in the St Lawrence Gap are perfect. Right in the beach and easy walking distance to bars and restaurants. Highly recommend!
Very accurate description / photos. Location was close to airport but also walkable to the “gap” with restaurants and bars. Condo was clean. Perfect for our family spring break.
Great property with all amenities you need. Great location was a little worried on our first night ( saturday) with noise from local bar. This must have just been saturday night occurrence as quiet all other nights. So many good points..Clean, close to beach and some good restaurants. Pool could probably benefit from a few more loungers but these are just small points really.
We have stayed at Sapphire Beach several times but this was the first time in this unit. The condo has a remodeled kitchen and is clean and well equipped with games. The hosts were easy to communicate with and Keisha, the property manager was very helpful and dealt with all questions promptly. I would recommend this unit!
We had a fantastic week with our group of 2 couples and the property is perfect for that with 2 huge double bedroom suites. The apartment was really well equipped, especially the kitchen. Location couldn't have been better in the heart of St Lawrence gap. We loved the split level with direct access to the pool from the ground floor and an amazing view of the sea from the massive first floor balcony.
Thanks to the hosts for providing such a great apartment and the excellent communication from them on the run up to our stay.
This property ticks all of our boxes. Clean, modern, comfortable. I believe that every amenity has been thought of. Including a fridge with ice maker and water dispenser, beach towels, drink cooler, pots and pans, quality bedding and towels and more. Easy access to the pool and beach, not sure what more we could ask for.
This was our third stay in St Lawrence Gap, second time with the kids, and this was our favourite place to stay! The apartment is beautiful - although the photos are accurate, the place is even better in person! The space is very well maintained, very clean, and ideal for a family. We and the kids enjoyed having our own space on each floor. The view from the balcony is beautiful, the beach is only steps outside the door, and our daughter enjoyed the pool. Check-in and check-out were easy and Keisha was lovely. There are two convenience stores close by, restaurants within walking distance, and many tours pick you up right at your door. We love Barbados and it was especially hard to leave this fantastic place to stay. We’ll be back!
We just stayed a month at Amika and had a most enjoyable stay. The property is amazing and a great home away from home, located next to the pool and right on Dover Beach. For those travelling to Barbados, this is where to stay!
The Bi level condo was beautiful and well equipped.
Everything was just perfect! We could tell the moment we entered the condo how warm and generous the owners were. We felt like family/friends instead of renters. We were in Barbados for a family reunion and our place was the most exquisite and decorated beautifully. Thank you for a memorable vacation!
Beach and pool right at your doorstep…best of both worlds. Our condo was clean and comfortable. Several restaurants and bars within a short walk. Owners were prompt to reply and very pleasant.
Great experience staying at Sapphire beach for my second time! The pool and the ocean being right in front of you is perfect for beach lovers and pool side dwellers alike! Lots of amenities close by. Only negative would be is the roasters crowing at 4:00 am but it does become kind of comical. Hope to visit sometime again soon!
I believe we had one of the best condo units in the building. Beach was great. Saw 2 Sea turtles swimming. Lots of good variety of restaurants within walking distance. Will definitely recommend this condo building to anyone looking about vacationing in Barbados. I hope to be back.
We got the property after a long day. The beds were turned down and waiting for us. the kids ran outside while I got dinner together. We enjoyed dinner at the picnic table, listening to the fountain. Everyone slept soundly. In the morning we were rested and headed out. Everything was clean, tidy, accessible and welcoming. Thank you so much for your genorosity of snacks.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the beach at the condo due to the heavy seaweed that was covering the beach. Going to the west side of the island provided nice clear beaches. The pool was very nice and so easy to access. Just walk out the lower bedroom sliding doors! Taxis are always parked out front and the island also has a taxi app very similar to Uber or Lift. You can pay on the app and save your cash.
This property is perfect. The pool is right outside the door. The beach is just outside the pool area. There are plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for rent on the beach. The sand on the beach is soft and does not get hot under your feet. The view of the pool and ocean from the balcony is fabulous. The condo was very clean and it has a great layout of 1 bedroom and bath downstairs and 1 bedroom and bath upstairs by the living room and kitchen. There were many great restaurants in walking distance. My parents and my husband and I loved our stay here and enjoyed the island.
We have visited Barbados numerous times throughout the years, mostly staying in All inclusive hotels.
I think our all inclusive days are over, we had such a wonderful time staying at Ammika!
The cleanliness, the view, the beach.. ( best beach in BGI!!) the list is endless.
Mike & Andrea were fantastic from the first time I contacted them. Keisha was also fabulous always there if & when we needed her.
I’m not one to normally write a review but I have to say you will not be disappointed we had memorable stay and hope to return very soon.
Many thanks
The Robinson family :))
Yet again another excellent stay at Mike and Andrea’s lovely apartment. Great property with direct access to a pool and the beach. The lively evening attractions of St Lawrence Gap are a 10-15 minute stroll away.
Check in check out was very easy. Great communication as always from Mike and Andrea.
Dover beach is one of the best on the island IMHO.
If you need a reliable driver call Jamal on +1 (246) 833-6180. He’s professional, punctual and knowledgeable (as well as great company). He also responds to WhatsApp
This condo is in an excellent location. There are multiple restaurants and bars within walking distance. From the bottom floor bedroom, you walk directly out to the pool. From the top floor, you have a beautiful view of the ocean directly in front of you from the balcony. The condo is extremely clean and has everything you could possibly need in kitchen utensils and appliances. There are several taxis close by willing to take you anywhere on the island. We did the Mount Gay Rum tour, and a tour of the island. It is a beautiful country and very safe. The property manager checked in with us twice during the week to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would highly recommend this condo for two couples, or a family of four.

When we arrived we were greeted and shown the unit without delay. A welcome package was provided.
Overall our stay was excellent. The condos are getting a bit dated and can use a good scrubbing. Our only complaint was our feet getting black walking around the unit in our bare feet. All tile floors tend to get dirty I imagine. The gym equipment needs upgrading. The pool was directly outside our unit so a quick dip would be good for those who like a pool. We used it twice during our stay.
What we like most is the beach is at our door steps. The Gap has many good restaurants and street vendors for meals. Played a lot of golf.
We have stayed at the Sapphire on 5 other occasions and this 2 bedroom unit fit our needs both price and size.
Our property manager Kiesha was there at a momemts notice and took care of amy issue immediatley. Only had 2 and the were handled.
Thank you Andrea and Mike. We look forward to our stay next year!
