Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados

Looking for a True Caribbean Getaway? Barbados will take you deep down in the Southern Caribbean, just 250 miles northeast of South America. Barbados boasts 3000 hours of annual sunshine. One of our Favorite “Excursions” here is their scuba and the Local Friday Fish Fry downtown. Those are TWO MUST experiences when traveling to Barbados.

The BEST part about these two is that they are RIGHT beside one another, so it’s literally ONE large property. Stay at ONE & play at both! Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados offer a total of 17 restaurants, 5 pools and 12 bars to enjoy on one beautiful beach!

Here’s the breakdown of the two properties in the Bahamas:

  • Sandals Royal Barbados, 222
  • Sandals Barbados, 280
