Barbados Hotels in Caribbean (31 others)

The Caribbean in general, and Barbados in particular, seem to be immune to the goings-on in the wider world. The waters are still crystal clear, the beaches are straight off the cover of a travel brochure, the people smile a lot and the weather is almost always perfect. That's not to say that the island hasn't changed. Half a century ago Barbados was an upper-crust retreat, it was White Mischief with sand – on the beach instead of the plantation. it's certainly no longer the preserve of the British elite, with luxury hotels, Barbados's sea, sand and sun are all within easy reach these days, and are especially appealing at those times of year when back home you are more likely to find yourself holding a snow shovel than a vodka and tonic. Yet for all its easy-going Caribbean-ness Barbados is one of the first islands in the region to have understood, astutely, that for many of these urban voyagers, sea, sand and sun are not enough, they also want to sample different restaurants and do a bit of shopping.

  3. Sandy Lane Resort

    Barbados, Caribbean

    First opened in 1961, it was a success from the very start and in 1998 the property was rebuilt from scratch in order to provide for the modern standards of luxury demanded such as a world-class spa and championship golf. In rebuilding this famous hotel, the porches, the staircases, the walls, the symmetry, the columns -every characteristic Caribbean Georgian detail – were carefully adhered to. The end result is a hotel that looks like it hasn’t been touched on the outside but with a thoroughly modern hotel on the inside. The hotel is distinguished inside and out by its render of crushed coral limestone. It is unashamedly luxurious.

    In the sleepy, laid-back Caribbean, Sandy Lane is almost a miracle. The place is a well-oiled machine that seems to operate without hiccup or glitch.

    Focus on the many ways you can be spoilt. Because for the true hedonist, Sandy Lane is very hip indeed.

  4. The House

    Barbados, Caribbean

    Special Offer

    With only 34 rooms and suites, the proprietor’s chose the name to suggest the ambience of renting a villa as opposed to staying in a hotel. Only, in this adults-only villa, they serve up complimentary Champagne breakfasts, afternoon tea, evening canapés and a 30 minute jet-lag massage. Ambassadors are ever-present to cater to guests' every whim!
    On a design front its combination of smooth lines of teak, curved lanterns and modern lighting to set the mood, is suitably exotic. It's a beautifully intimate place with plenty of privacy for romantic dining. For food lovers The House may be one of the best hunting grounds on the island, because the most acclaimed addition to the Barbados restaurant scene is the adjacent Daphne’s. Located bang on the beach, this satellite of the famous London restaurant, is regarded by many as better than the original.

    The House is the beachside version of a hip downtown hotel.

  5. The Sandpiper

    Barbados, Caribbean

    Elegant and discreet are the words that best sum up The Sandpiper. It is not a hotel that wants to impress with its cutting edge newness or with its size. It is a timeless property that has the same patrician feel you come across in a Ralph Lauren ad. It is stylish in a seemingly effortless fashion that belies the work and quality that goes into creating a place like this.

    Situated on the quieter West coast of Barbados, The Sandpiper is in the ideal location for water sports (sailing, water skiing, diving, swimming) and it is also within easy access of all the islands’ best bars, restaurants and nightlife.

    The Sandpiper’s forty-seven rooms, suites and Tree Top suites are set in seven acres of landscaped gardens and the interiors are distinguished by a distinctly colonial feel that includes pickled pine ceilings and plantation-style detailing for the doors and windows.

    A small colonial gem on the beach.
