The new couples-only Sandals Barbados, which opened late last month, is poised to be one of the most upscale in the group of 15 all-inclusive resorts.
Its 280 rooms range from beachfront suites serviced by butlers to new-to-the-brand swim-up suites spaced along a river pool. Furnishings include mahogany four-poster beds and deep soaking tubs both inside bathrooms and outdoors on terraces.
Amenities include 11 restaurants, among them a steakhouse, Japanese grill, French brasserie and Sandals’ first Indian restaurant.
One of three pools will be ringed with cabanas featuring chandeliers, sofas and power outlets for charging mobile devices. And the six-room spa will pair cocktails and services during happy hour, and introduce couples’ massage services in its treatment cottages or in guestrooms.
Sandals Barbados replaces the all-inclusive competitor Couples Barbados. The company plans to begin building a family all-inclusive on the island later this year.
Rooms at adults-only Sandals Barbados start at $370, per person.
