Overview
Guests consistently laud Sandy Lane for its impressive grounds, luxurious amenities and accommodating staff. Welcoming Barbados visitors since 1961, Sandy Lane's spacious rooms, suites, penthouses and villa boast elegant furnishings, marble bathrooms with dual vanities, desks and balconies or patios with views of verdant gardens or the Caribbean Sea. And the grandeur doesn't stop there. This Leading Hotels of the World outpost also features lavish recreational facilities, including three golf courses and a 47,000-square-foot spa. (Recent guests raved about the opulent spa treatments and tasty dishes served at The Spa Café.) Though the golf courses and spa are no doubt impressive, don't forget to carve out some lounging time on Sandy Lane Beach, where the resort provides cold towels, sorbets, fresh fruit and Evian mists. Whether your day was spent relaxing by the sea (or the 7,500-square-foot pool) or swinging on the greens, previous visitors suggest watching the sun set at one of the four on-site eateries. Though some former patrons bemoaned the property's underwhelming afternoon tea service, many praised the delectable (albeit pricey) cuisine. However, Leaders Club members receive complimentary perks, such as daily breakfast for two, during their stays.

Few places in the Caribbean can compare to Sandy Lane's luxurious facilities and ultra-pampering service – or to its astronomical prices. But for the few who can afford to stay here – guests include royalty, celebrities, and the otherwise rich and famous – it's an unparalleled experience.
This iconic Barbados retreat lures a well-heeled Euro/British set, but it also holds a place in plenty of hearts stateside. The pampering starts with airport transfers courtesy of Sandy Lane's Bentley, and continues on-site with rooms decked out with plush drapes, chandeliers, and mahogany furniture.
Guest amenities run rampant; perhaps the most noteworthy is access to the super exclusive Green Monkey golf course with a separate apparel line that can only be purchased after completion. A Rolls Royce Phantom, top-notch spa, outstanding restaurants, and celebrity sightings are just a few aspects that set the elegant Palladian-style hotel apart from the rest.
Boutiques, fancy cars and the beach await at this luxurious destination offering state-of-the-art amenities, gourmet dining and a world-class spa. The guest units are exceptionally spacious.
