Villa Casablanca Barbados has set a new standard for luxury in the Caribbean, winning a respected Luxury Lifestyle Award for Best Luxury Boutique Villa in Barbados in 2024. In this exclusive interview, we sit down with the visionary owner, Evlyn Mondu, to explore how she brings her unique touch to this stunning property, creating bespoke experiences and delivering exceptional service for her guests.
Luxury Lifestyle Awards: Congratulations on winning a Luxury Lifestyle Award for Best Luxury Boutique Villa in Barbados. What does this recognition mean to you and Villa Casablanca?
Evlyn Mondu: It’s an honor. Not only is it a reminder of what motivates me to provide a destination of distinction to our guests, but it motivates us to continue to enhance our bespoke services. Winning the Luxury Lifestyle Award is a validation of our dedication to providing unique luxury experiences and a tribute to our team’s hard work and vision.
LLA: Villa Casablanca is recognized for its bespoke experiences. Can you share how you ensure that each guest’s stay is personalized to their unique preferences?
EM: We meticulously prepare for each guest by integrating their preferences and interests into their stay. From a pre-arrival checklist of dietary needs, milestone celebration needs, custom requests, and more, our concierge representatives are ready to personalize each guest’s stay. Whether it’s our partnership with Alfred Wines, personal sommeliers, private aviation brands, to personalized excursions and transport, we enrich our guests’ experiences by providing exclusive, high-quality offerings. For example, we are the only villa that can claim to offer a Romanée Conti along with other rare and inaccessible offerings to our guests. We are continuously exploring new collaborations to enhance our bespoke luxury services further.
LLA: Comfortable luxury is one of the core pillars of Villa Casablanca. How do you balance opulence with a sense of relaxation and home-like comfort for your guests?
EM: Our approach is to blend the refined elegance of our expansive villa with the natural beauty of our surroundings. I designed this like I would my own home incorporating elegant, plush furnishings with soothing, homely touches that invite relaxation, and respect the local culture and environment. This ensures guests enjoy both luxury and comfort. And don’t forget our genuine warmly personable staff, who provide a crucial pillar to our bespoke services, creating a home away from home.
LLA: Villa Casablanca offers access to a private beach club and partners with exclusive brands like Alfred Wines. How do these partnerships elevate the guest experience, and what other collaborations do you have in the works?
EM: Collaborations like these enhance our luxury offerings, providing guests with unique access to high-end products and experiences. We want to think of every detail for our guests, so they don’t have to. We are exploring partnerships with other luxury brands to continue to bring more exclusivity and convenience to Villa Casablanca Sandy Lane.
LLA: Villa Casablanca offers formal convenience with features like private tarmac airport pickups and exclusive partnerships. How do these services enhance the overall guest experience?
EM: We create true convenience for each guest. These offerings ensure a seamless, stress-free, and luxurious transition from “life” to “vacation mode” from the moment our guests arrive in beautiful Barbados. It’s a reminder to our guests we prepare for every detail and are focused on their satisfaction.
LLA: Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in luxury travel. How does Villa Casablanca incorporate sustainable practices without compromising on luxury?
EM: This is a topic I’m passionate about and sustainability is integrated deeply into every facet of operations to ensure luxury travel can be both indulgent and environmentally conscious. We work closely with our highly trained staff to be cognizant of our commitment to the local environment. Simple yet impactful changes like utilizing natural drying methods and eliminating high-energy-consuming appliances significantly reduce resource use. Complemented by a commitment to shared transportation and a robust recycling program, these efforts not only preserve the local environment but also enhance the community’s well-being. The villa’s initiatives extend to energy independence with the development of a solar garden, setting new standards in sustainable luxury and enriching the guest experience in harmony with Barbados’s vibrant culture and natural beauty.
LLA: The villa is located in the prestigious Sandy Lane estate. How does this location add to the allure of Villa Casablanca, and what makes it stand out among other luxury properties in the area?
EM: Villa Casablanca Sandy Lane is the largest estate is the area and renowned for its privacy, exclusivity and luxury making it a preferred choice for guests, families, and celebrities.
LLA: Looking ahead, what are your future plans for Villa Casablanca? Are there any upcoming enhancements or new services that guests can look forward to?
EM: We are continually evolving, planning new services that anticipate and cater to the desires of our guests, along with options to introduce more immersive local experiences. We have an experiential destination that appeals to a global audience, and we look forward to welcoming you to our villa!
Thank you, Evelyn! As Mondu continues to shape the future of Villa Casablanca, her dedication to luxury, personalization, and guest satisfaction remains at the heart of everything she does. The future is bright for this remarkable villa and its guests.
