Situated on the outer ring of the eastern coast of the Caribbean Sea is the picturesque island of Barbados. Formerly known as the "Gold Coast," the parish of Saint James on the island's west coast boasts white-sand beaches and calm, turquoise blue waters teeming with a diverse array of marine life.

In recent years, the demographic of visitors to Saint James has shifted from everyday tourists to those who can afford life's finer luxuries, earning the area the new moniker, the "Platinum Coast." Among the celebrities who have acquired homes along this coast is Simon Cowell, often spotted at his 1.3-acre, $27 million villa in Cove Spring.
