With white sand beaches and turquoise waters, the island nation of Barbados may be best known for its mysterious underground caves and homegrown pop sensation, Rihanna, but as of January 28, 2015, Barbados has a new attraction shining bright like a diamond—Sandals Barbados, the newest Luxury Included® resort located in the spirited St. Lawrence Gap.

With an expansive landscape, Barbados is a playground for adventurers and nature lovers offering plenty of explorations from monkey-populated forests on land to hidden wrecks and vibrant reefs down below. For the thrill-seeker, Barbados offers rocky cliffs and caverns that unveil the island’s historic nature.

When you have succeeded in your adventurous pursuits, return to Sandals Barbados for rum tastings and pulsating rhythms of Carnival or tantalize all of your senses with Sandals’ Gourmet Discovery Dining experience, offering 11 specialty restaurants to choose from.

Like any romantic getaway at Sandals Resorts, couples will fall in love with the island vibes and unlimited amenities that make the “always included, always unlimited” lifestyle so luxurious. No matter which lavish Love Nest Suite you check-into, perhaps a Crystal Lagoon Swim-up Suite or Ocean Village Beachfront Suite located steps from the powdery white sand, these extravagant suites will ensure your Sandals getaway is a memorable one.
