Hugh Grant's island bliss
Apr 11, 2005, 17:29
Hugh Grant has just sealed the deal on a £3 million mansion in Barbados.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral actor has purchased a five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa at the exclusive Royal Westmoreland Golf and Country Club as a "private base" to share with his heiress girlfriend, Jemima Khan.
The island resort offers world-class golf courses, as well as two swimming pools and tennis facilities.
Lonely Planet describes Barbados as the "little Britain" of the Caribbean, but its beaches are a far cry from anything the UK has on offer.
It boasts miles of fine, white sand beaches, bordering Barbados' tropical, turquoise sea as well as excellent golfing facilities and fantastic diving.
Mr Grant's purchase has fuelled speculation that the star and Ms Khan will soon tie the knot.
According to the Mail Online, friends say he is "madly in love".
"This is the happiest Hugh's ever been," one of them said. "He wanted somewhere private for them to escape to and this new house is perfect. Don't be surprised if they get married."
