Capturing the magic of the outdoors, The Sandpiper in Barbados basks in relaxing surrounds that boast a picture-perfect coral sand beach, an abundance of flora, and exotic gardens. The hotel is family-owned and one of the most exclusive resorts in the West Indies, imparting a friendly and untainted charm. Take a wander around the inviting gardens, where you will be in the company of greenery such as flowering Bougainvillea, mature swaying coconut palms and orchid trees.

Enjoy friendly island hospitality at the resort; typically friendly in true Caribbean style, each room and suite welcomes guests with fresh flowers. Dwellings are comfortable and thoughtfully composed, with natural woods, cool Caribbean colours like aquamarine, emerald green and red informing the design. For a breath of fresh air, retreat to your very own private balcony or terrace and admire the enthralling garden or sea views. Few places can rival the resort’s Tree Top Suite ‘Curlew’; with ample space and stunning unimpeded sea views, it is truly regal, and an expansive outdoor terrace provides the space for convivial drinks from the personal bar.

Enjoy finely-honed service at the hotel’s award-winning venue The Restaurant. Executive Chef Christophe Poupardin strives to create imaginative masterpieces with a certain Caribbean flair. Cuisine is an integral part of The Sandpiper experience. Enjoy a fusion of Asian and European cooking techniques with locally-sourced and imported ingredients. Whet your appetite at Harold’s Bar with an al fresco lunch and exotic tropical cocktails. Synonymous with Bajan design, the bar is bedecked in wood and bamboo and covered by a thatched roof.

Let your mind drift away at the spa; located at The Sandpiper’s sister hotel, The Coral Reef Club, the wellness sanctuary combines a distinctly modern aesthetic with a natural beauty. Indoors and outdoors blend seamlessly thanks to open walkways and an open-sided dedicated relaxation room. Allow yourself to be transported to a world of calm while enveloped by a composed palette of dark chocolate wood, find sand sheers, soft cream linens and coral stone walls.
