The Sandy Lane name is synonymous with luxury and exclusivity – from the moment you step foot in this Palladian-style hotel, it’s obvious why. Sweeping staircases, exquisite marble and plush suites – this Barbadian paradise is the epitome of timeless elegance.

Adults can take up residence under one of Sandy Lane’s famous pink parasols and soak up the beach – one of Barbados’ finest – while the little ones are entertained at The Treehouse Club, which offers fun activities for guests aged 3-16.

There’s a variety of bars from casual beachside to intimate lounges serving signature cocktails and an impressive wine list.

The hotel’s four restaurants offer everything from informal snacks to fine dining experiences and each has a different atmosphere and style to suit guests’ moods – from pizza to sushi, Sunday Brunch and locally sourced lobster.

The stunning 113 rooms and suites are light and airy, each with a large terrace or balcony that provides the ideal vantage point to take in the surrounding Caribbean charm. The Orchid Rooms and Suites overlook tropical gardens and Luxury Ocean Rooms and Dolphin Suites have sea views. For the ultimate in extravagance, the five-bedroom Villa at Sandy Lane is the epitome of exclusivity. Set in beautifully landscaped gardens, guests even benefit from a team of staff to cater to their every need – bliss.
