An Interview with Evelyne Mondou
CEO, Villa Casablanca
Our special interview with EVELYNE MONDOU, CEO at Villa Casablanca reveals the stunning 7-bed luxury villa located within the exclusive Sandy Lane Estate on the West Coast of Barbados. Executive Global shines a spotlight on this beautiful two-acre estate offering a little bit of paradise where your cares and stresses literally melt away.
Executive Global: What fundamental elements would you say set apart Villa Casablanca from competitors as the elite luxury residence of choice in Barbados?
Evelyne Mondou: My vision for Villa Casablanca Sandy Lane is clear: to remain a leader by adapting to evolving global trends while retaining the timeless allure of the private villa. When compared to our competitors, Villa Casablanca shines by offering the best: technological and booking convenience, human connection, sustainability, cultural immersion, and ultimate privacy. We’re not in the business of following trends—we’re here to lead.
EG: How does your unique approach to sustainability and luxury shape client experience at Villa Casablanca?
EM: Barbados and the warmth of Bajan hospitality are rising stars in the Caribbean. This premier destination continues to grow, offering a blend of luxury and sustainability that appeals to discerning travellers seeking unique and mindful experiences. The property integrates energy-efficient solutions such as uniquely crafted solar garden, eco-conscious transport options, and meticulous recycling initiatives.
Natural drying techniques and low-energy appliances reflect a dedication to reducing the villa’s environmental footprint while maintaining its excellence. Our guests want to feel good about the choices they make—not just indulgent, but intentional. Sustainability allows them to enjoy guilt-free luxury, knowing they are supporting practices that protect the island they love.
EG: Tell us about the Sandy Lane Estate Beach Club?
EM: Our relationship and close proximity to the Beach Club offers another crown jewel for Villa Casablanca guests. Exclusive access means you can sink your toes into powder-white sand without the typical beach crowds. Guests can enjoy private cabanas, gourmet cocktails, and chef-prepared cuisine. Our dedicated concierge team is on hand to seamlessly arrange additional exclusive beach club experiences, from private yacht charters, to curated dining and milestone celebrations. We’ve perfected the art of invisible service. Non evasive, yet attentive.
EG: What are the unique attributes that make Villa Casablanca perfect for golf enthusiasts?
EG: This luxury villa attracts high profile guests. How significant of an impact does your commitment to exemplary customer service play in drawing elite clients?
EM: At Villa Casablanca, we cater to travellers who have experienced it all yet still seek something truly exceptional. This estate represents the future of luxury travel—immersive, meaningful, and unforgettable. It’s a place that lingers in your heart and mind long after your departure. Our unwavering commitment to curating excellence ensures every guest enjoys a seamless blend of sophistication and personalised care. By combining my passion for exceptional destinations and the art of quiet luxury, Villa Casablanca continues to captivate discerning travellers who crave unparalleled personalisation.
EG: How would you say your corporate background as a project manager deepened your insight into the importance of attention to detail when cultivating bespoke customer experiences?
EM: My work in a corporate has honed my ability to anticipate, strategise, and execute seamlessly. Luxury isn’t about flashy things—it’s about how those things make you feel. I’m very involved in the details and planning of the villa daily, and my job is to remove the friction for our guests. Luxury feels effortless. Our guests don’t need to ask, it’s already waiting for them. My ability to anticipate client’s wishes has created a reputation for excellence.
EG: What are the distinct benefits that clients can expect from this luxury villa when compared to a typical hotel or resort in Barbados?
EM: Villa Casablanca adapts to guests’ needs with a level of flexibility that hotels simply can’t match. While hotels can feel impersonal or transactional, Villa Casablanca provides the warmth and comfort of a home, elevated by luxury and a team to bring it all to life. Villa Casablanca offers the exclusivity of a private estate. No crowded lobbies, shared pools, or noisy hallways—just a tranquil, intimate environment for families, couples, or groups. Villa Casablanca’s journey starts before guests even arrive. The convenience of door-to-door luxury, from tarmac to villa, ensures a stress-free experience. EG
