Conjuring images of white sand ribbons, pristine aquamarine sea and limitless luxury, Sandy Lane in Barbados epitomises Caribbean other-worldliness. The legendary service starts with a luxurious BMW or Mercedes collecting you from the airport. Once settled at this stunning beachside retreat, you will feel welcome and at home in your own private haven. Gracefully composed details such as Italian marble floors and bars imbue rooms and suites, which radiate warmth and plush luxury. Observe sublime views of the azure Caribbean Sea, colourful tropical blooms and the crescent-shaped beach.

Sandy Lane has a gourmet orientation, boasting four dining venues. L’Acajou hosts a variety of culinary highlights, emphasising French and Mediterranean specialties. Choose a perfect pairing from the impressive range of Old World and New World wine labels. Bajan Blue is a casual beachside restaurant for a wealth of international fare from the Caribbean, Asia and Europe. Visit the modern wine bar, sushi station and grill for a fantastic selection of dishes. The Country Club embodies the splendour of the region, with endless views of fairways leading down to the Caribbean Sea.

Let your mind drift away at the resort’s spa; cultivating a rich ambience, the spa is inspired by wellbeing traditions from all over the world, including the Caribbean and America to the Ayurvedic Philosophy from the Far East. Delivering charming service that is synonymous with Barbados, your experience will be fondly remembered. At 47,000 square feet, the spa comprises fourteen treatment suites, a hydrotherapy pool and manicured gardens.

Golf lovers will be in their element at Sandy Lane; three stunningly-designed courses are close by to the resort, each one offering enthralling views of Barbados’ platinum coastline. The Green Monkey course was created by the highly-revered designer Tim Fazio. A challenging feat, it varies in elevation and is replete with exposed rock faces for a dramatic game. The Country Club course is pristine with lush greens, five lakes and immaculately cut fairways. The Old Nine course is a favourite among repeaters at the resort; intimate yet demanding, it features small greens and tight fairways.
