Zazen, St. Joseph*

Set amongst the dramatic East Coast of Barbados, Zazen is the first ultra-modern luxury offering of its kind nestled within this unforgettable landscape. A seamless blend of Eastern spiritual elements and refined industrial design, the vivid hues and Atlantic swells of Cattlewash Beach provide the idyllic backdrop for this unrivaled utopia.

This 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom dwelling exudes the distinctive flair of its architect, Doug Luke, who makes this 6,000 sq. ft. chalet-esque industrial loft a noted feature of the East Coast.

Zazen’s main living areas include an open plan state-of-the-art Kitchen, informal dining and lounge areas which offer clean lines and crisp details which blend elements of stainless steel, concrete, stone and timber.

Ocean light and breezes pervade Zazen’s cool, spacious interiors, while a neutral palette of greys, browns and luminous white walls reflect the sparkling waves and slabs of multi-coloured semi-precious stones that adorn each room of the home.

Two wings, located on opposite ends of the ground floor, feature a beachfront suite and a loft bedroom with lounge area that share a luxuriously outfitted bathroom with double vanity, bathtub and rain shower. Both bedrooms enjoy easy access to the pool and beach.

The intimately secluded lifestyle offered by the top floor master suite includes a wet bar, walk-in closet, office space and mini home theatre. Its private terrace offers a round soaking bath and day bed which overlooks the outdoor al fresco dining, entertaining area, pool deck and beachfront.

Luxurious environs couples with a full suite of concierge services allows Zazen to provide an atmosphere of informal contemporary sophistication with a touch of luxury; befitting of this beachfront setting.
