The Moonshine Ridge Collection embodies Apes Hill Barbados’ dedication to preserving and celebrating the natural environment while embracing sustainable innovation. With a fresh, clean, and boldly modern take on Caribbean living, each home in the collection pays homage to the island’s heritage, incorporating elements like indigenous natural stone sourced directly from Apes Hill itself. As Douglas Luke of Elements Architecture, the designer of the collection, notes, “The increasing vulnerability of the natural environment is resonating with younger clients who seek a closer, more consistent connection with it.”

A Harmonious Fusion of Luxury and Nature

Set near the island’s highest peak, Apes Hill’s remarkable elevation allows residents to enjoy a multi-sensory experience shaped by the cooling trade winds, lush gullies, and breathtaking gardens. High ceilings and expansive glass doors create an open, seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, with the design encouraging outdoor entertaining, privacy, and a true integration with the tropical landscape—perfect for the laid-back, luxurious lifestyle synonymous with Barbados.

Distinctive Design Elements for an Elevated Experience

Each Moonshine Ridge home features unique, signature design elements that enhance both comfort and sustainability. Walls have been removed to create large, open spaces filled with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows, inviting natural light and surrounding views into the home. Deep, covered verandas provide a counterbalance, controlling sunlight, minimizing glare, and creating a cool atmosphere that diffuses heat.

The collection’s design embraces natural airflow; Atlantic breezes flow throughout the villas, reducing reliance on air conditioning and promoting energy conservation. Homes are also designed with sustainability in mind, offering options for additional photovoltaic cells.

Thoughtfully Crafted Spaces

Upon entering, each home’s grand, oversized pivot front door and an aligning door at the end of the private foyer frame a view through to the pool, creating a dramatic sense of openness. The wide, distinctive foyer connects to the living areas and serves as a unique indoor-outdoor transition.

Each home includes a spacious, private study with sliding glass doors opening to the veranda and pool—perfect for balancing work and relaxation in harmony with Apes Hill’s natural surroundings. In the master suite, a large wet room and a floating feature wall add architectural sophistication, with a walk-in closet tucked behind the feature wall for added privacy and style.

A Commitment to Sustainable Luxury

In line with Apes Hill Barbados’ commitment to environmental stewardship, Moonshine Ridge homes are built with sustainability at their core, allowing residents to experience the best of luxurious island living while supporting a greener future.
