Feel the Bajan Vibes at Sandals® Barbados

By Lauren Ertl | September 19, 2023

Journey to the easternmost stretch of land in the Caribbean Sea to find yourself on a pear-shaped island surrounded by bright coral reefs and the most incredible shade of turquoise you’ve ever seen. In no time, you’ll be immersed in the warmth of Bajan culture—a blend of dance, cuisine and welcoming hospitality that is unique to Barbados.  

The Perfect Shade of Blue 

Anticipate the perfect beach day every day. Best of all, Sandals® Barbados is located on one of the most beloved beaches in the country—if not the entire Caribbean. There is nothing like being enveloped in the ocean breeze and the stunning azure hue of Dover Beach. This gorgeous stretch of powdery white sand leads to water so translucent you can see tiny fish swimming by your toes. Easily spend your days relaxing on hammocks and beach loungers.  

Elegance and Style 

The all-inclusive resort offers spacious accommodations that span three unique villages—the Caribbean Village, the Crystal Lagoon Village, and the Beachfront Village—each with its own vibe. Choose beachfront suites with soaking tubs on the private balcony or garden-view Crystal Lagoon Honeymoon Suites. Or splurge on the Beachfront Penthouse Suite and get butler service included, along with a separate living room, a clawfoot tub, and dual control walk-in rain shower in the spa-like bathroom and sweeping views of the Caribbean from your spacious private balcony. 

Double the Amenities 

When you stay at Sandals Barbados, you actually get two resorts in one. Sandals Royal Barbados is right next door, giving you access to all the bars and pools, not to mention a total of 21 restaurants to indulge in.  

Beyond the Beach 

There is so much to explore in Barbados. Discover the natural wonders of limestone caverns and subterranean waterfalls. Stroll hand-in-hand under a canopy of emerald-hued gardens as curious green monkeys look on. Learn about the island’s English heritage and history-laden Garrison area, and set off to the pink sands of Crane Beach to try body surfing. Every day you spend discovering this magical island, you’ll find the hues of blue get more stunning, and every golden sunset outdoes the last one.  

Celebrate Your Wedding in Barbados 

What’s it like to have a wedding in Barbados? It’s a truly all-inclusive experience. Not only does a team of professionals take care of the details, but also, they also help you fulfill all your desires so that you can celebrate exactly the way you’ve always dreamed of, whether you envision an intimate ceremony or surrounded by all your loved ones.
