Fans of Rihanna can now experience a slice of her early life by staying at her childhood home in Barbados, which is available for rent on Airbnb. The modest bungalow, located on the street that was renamed Rihanna Drive in 2017, is where the pop star lived from age 5 to 16 before becoming famous.
The property, listed as “Sonia Ville” on Airbnb, features two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a small backyard. It can accommodate up to four guests and can costs $100 per night. The listing also boasts of the historical and cultural significance of the house, as well as the stunning views of the Caribbean Sea.
According to a web search, the house was recently renovated and fenced, but still retains its original charm and architecture. The sidewalk outside bears Rihanna’s name along with a sun and a trident, which are Barbados’ national symbols. A plaque commemorating Rihanna’s achievements and contributions to the country is also displayed on the street.
Guests who book the house can also enjoy the local nightlife and entertainment, as there are bars and monuments dedicated to Rihanna nearby. One of them is the BNB Bar, which is decorated with lyrics from her songs and allows visitors to sign their names on the walls. Another is a monument with a quote from Rihanna herself, expressing her love and gratitude for her homeland.
The house is located in the parish of Saint Michael, close to the capital city of Bridgetown. It is also a short drive from the airport and the beach, making it convenient for travelers who want to explore the island. Barbados is known for its beautiful beaches, landscapes, and culture, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Caribbean.
Rihanna, who was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in 1988, is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with over 250 million records sold worldwide. She is also a successful entrepreneur, fashion designer, and philanthropist, who has won numerous awards and honors for her work. She currently lives in a luxurious beachfront apartment in Sandy Lane, one of the most affluent areas in Barbados.
