There are hotels, and then there is Sandy Lane. For decades, this platinum stretch of Barbados coastline has been the byword for Caribbean exclusivity. It’s the place where discretion is paramount, service is intuitive, and the experience is nothing short of regal.

Have an escape to remember at Sandy Lane, Barbados

This iconic resort retains a certain magnetism that keeps guests returning year after year. It isn’t just about the Palladian-style architecture or the world-class golf; it’s the feeling that once you pass through the gates, everything is taken care of.
This summer, we are delighted to present a selection of exclusive offers that make a stay at this legendary resort even more compelling.

The Spa and Wellness Package

For those seeking a relaxing break, the Spa and Wellness Package offers exceptional value without compromising on the luxury you expect from Sandy Lane. This offer is available for stays between April and October 2026,  perfect for those looking to avoid the peak winter crowds.

When you book this package, you'll enjoy a 60-minute full body massage, a therapeutic head massage, a Bajan Brown Sugar scrub, a full fitness assessment using FiTech technology and so much more at the world-renowned 47,000 square-foot spa. A complimentary lunch and a dinner for two are also included, allowing you to sample the resort's exquisite culinary offerings.

It is the ideal opportunity to experience treatments that blend traditional Barbadian ingredients with cutting-edge wellness techniques. We also include airport transfers in an executive car, ensuring your arrival is as seamless as your stay.

The Family Package

Sandy Lane has always been family-friendly, understanding that true luxury means catering to every generation. The Family Package is designed for families who want to create lasting memories together in an environment of total comfort.

This offer includes up to two rooms, making it perfect for multi-generational travel. Children are treated like VIPs from the moment they arrive, with unlimited access to The Treehouse Club, widely regarded as one of the best children's facilities in the Caribbean. The package also includes complimentary dinner for children aged 3 to 12, sessions of sports tuition for the children and a gift for each child. While the younger ones are occupied, adults can enjoy a round of golf or a spa treatment, safe in the knowledge that the children are having the time of their lives.

The Romance Package

Ideally suited for anniversaries or simply a much-needed couple’s retreat, the Romance Package focuses on privacy and indulgence. Sandy Lane provides the perfect backdrop for reconnection, with its sweeping staircases and candlelit dinners.

You'll be welcomed to the beauty and luxury of Sandy Lane with a bottle of Champagne and chocolate dipped gold-leaf strawberries on arrival. Enjoy a Classic afternoon tea for two and ramp up the adventure with a snorkelling trip that also includes a dive visit to the shipwrecks.

This offer enhances the romantic atmosphere even further with a candlelit dinner for two and a 'Romantic Bliss' couple's massage in the spa, designed to relax you both simultaneously. 

The Golf Package

For the serious golfer, Sandy Lane is hallowed ground. Hosting three courses, including the Tom Fazio-designed Green Monkey, carved from an old limestone quarry, it offers a challenge for even the most experienced player.

The Golf Package is tailored specifically for enthusiasts. It includes rounds of golf on The Country Club course, with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea, as well as daily rounds on The Old Nine. You will also receive one complimentary lunch at the Country Club restaurant, and if you would like to switch it up one day, each round on the Country Club course can be exchanged for a 60-minute Sandy Lane full body massage, so you get the best of relaxation and activity.

From the fishing village of Salema to the quieter landscapes around Vila do Bispo and Lagos, these four stays each offer their own take on southern Portugal, whether you want the freedom of a villa, easy access to the beach, or somewhere small and characterful to come back to after a day exploring.

As summer draws to a close, city breaks come back into focus, and few destinations pack as much into a long weekend as Valletta. Malta's compact capital combines centuries of history with a thriving food scene, waterfront views, and a walkable centre that makes it easy to fit plenty into just a few days. With warm autumn temperatures, open-air cafés still spilling onto the streets, and a calendar of events continuing well beyond peak season, it's an easy choice for anyone looking for somewhere that feels both relaxed and full of character.
