To Stay


From secluded hideaways to family-friendly stays, Barbados has a wealth of accommodation options to suit every client


THE SANDPIPER


Best for: A laid-back beach getaway


This peaceful resort is tucked away on the west coast on the golden sands of St James Beach, the grounds peppered with towering palms and clusters of tropical fauna. Tranquillity permeates


through The Sandpiper, from the absence of TVs in all 50 rooms to the secluded decking area that sits above the sands, for those guests seeking a quieter beach experience.


10 GUIDE TO BARBADOS As well as the main


restaurant, which serves Caribbean-inspired dishes every evening, Harold’s is a mainstay of The Sandpiper’s dining scene and a guest favourite. Named after the veteran


bartender who has presided over the beachfront bar since it was first introduced to the hotel nearly 30 years ago, Harold’s is the spot for a refreshing cocktail or a more relaxed dining experience at lunch and dinner time. sandpiperbarbados.com


CORAL REEF CLUB


Best for: A hideaway among tropical gardens


Although just a short walk along the beach from sister property The Sandpiper, Coral Reef Club feels as if it’s worlds away from anywhere. Cobbled pathways


meander through expansive grounds, adorned with swaying palms and colourful frangipani trees, connecting the 88 rooms, suites and cottages with the property’s other


amenities, including a spa, gym and two tennis courts. The family-owned hotel,


whose history dates back to the 1950s, is an ideal choice for couples and families keen on a peaceful beachfront break, but with an element of flexibility. Guests staying on a


half-board basis can decide day-to-day whether they’d like to eat lunch or dinner on site, and can choose between the restaurants at both Coral Reef Club and The Sandpiper. coralreefbarbados.com
