Born in Barbados, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known globally as Rihanna, has a deep connection to her home island. She spent her childhood in a modest bungalow on Westbury New Road, which was later renamed “Rihanna Drive” in 2017 in her honor. After achieving international fame, Rihanna decided to return to her roots by purchasing a luxurious beachfront property in 2013.
Rihanna’s condo, located in the exclusive One Sandy Lane resort in Paynes Bay, spans a sprawling 10,000 square feet. The not-so-petit chateau features a fully equipped gym, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour concierge, and five suite bedrooms with private terraces. This grand property is one of only eight units in the entire resort.
The architecture of Rihanna’s condo is a blend of Victorian elements and traditional Barbadian design. The grand entrance, adorned with detailed Greek pillars, gives the property a majestic feel. The lush green surroundings and pool area add to the luxurious tropical vibe. The interior showcases a pristine white theme with warm lighting, creating an inviting and elegant atmosphere. Notably, a spiral staircase with handmade balustrade detailing connects the two floors of the condo, further enhancing its grandeur.
