Since its opening in 1961 Sandy Lane has acquired a regal status among other Caribbean resorts and it’s not hard to see why.
The pink-washed Great House opens out onto a bar with dining terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea and houses the two signature suites, Camelot and Colleton – each boasting rooftop terraces and sea views with Colleton featuring its own private plunge pool. Spacious suites with garden or ocean views, air-conditioned bedrooms, sitting rooms and terraces or balconies stud the colourful, palm-filled gardens.
The highly-acclaimed Camelot Restaurant offers authentic Bajan cuisine with a luxurious twist, freshly prepared by Head Chef Jason Joseph. In the Cobblers Cove Bar, indulge in a signature Cobblers Cooler – a smooth, nutmeg-infused cocktail blended with fresh tropical fruits and none other than Barbados’ traditional beverage of choice, rum. Cookery demonstrations, market tours and catching your dinner with resident fisherman Barker add further emphasis to this gourmet retreat.
Complimentary afternoon tea is served daily in the Pavilion at the Great House; expect the finest English tea, warm coconut scones and delicate pastries served on bespoke china. Relaxed and leisurely recreations include soaking up the sun around the pool or indulging in a massage, though with a host of complimentary water sports, including water-skiing and sailing, tennis and exclusive island tours, there's much to tempt guests away from the sunbeds.
This signature hotel is able to offer a range of exclusive and bespoke excursions and tours to their guests, including a heritage tour and exploration of private plantation great houses, guided by Barbados' renowned architectural historian Sir Henry Fraser. Sail along the west coast on a daytime boat tour or savour a glass of sparkling wine and dinner upon a romantic sundowner cruise. Half day garden tours or private car tours of the island's hidden beauty spots can also be arranged.
