Sandy Lane details

The legendary Sandy Lane in St James, Barbados: its iconic reputation precedes it as one of the best loved and most famous hotels in the world. And it doesn’t disappoint. Here you will find all the ingredients for your perfect Caribbean holiday, from the pristine white beach on the island’s Platinum Coast to the luxurious appointments of its stately bedrooms to the warmth and hospitality of the staff, for whom nothing is too much trouble. This elegant colonial hotel is set right by the water’s edge, in a location of great natural beauty. Landscaped gardens and a stunning free form pool, complete with waterfalls, enhance the surroundings, while the range of activities on offer encompasses nine tennis courts, a multitude of water sports, two championship golf courses and an award-winning spa with fitness centre and hydrotherapy pools.

Dining at the Sandy Lane is a gourmet experience in its own right: the Country Club Restaurant overlooks the golf course, while there are two sea-view restaurants, the L’Acajou for a la carte and the Bajan Blue with its fantastic buffet. However, despite its formal reputation and accolades, the Sandy Lane is a great place to bring the kids, with the Treehouse Club for little ones and the Den for teenagers. Our conclusion: a great hotel and easily the best place for a fabulous Barbados vacation.
