Sandy Lane - St. James
The name 'Sandy Lane' conjures up images of serene style in a gloriously exotic setting. Since opening its doors in 1961, Sandy Lane has received the highest accolades from guests as elegant, extravagant and one the most opulent resorts visited. Over the years it has become the favourite Caribbean retreat, for the rich, famous and the discerning traveller. The resort is set on the gleaming white sands on the west coast of Barbados against a backdrop of the crystal blue waters. Sandy Lane is the complete resort, where you can be as active or relaxed as you wish; a romantic retreat for those seeking seclusion, a haven of tranquillity for couples, or the perfect location for families who desire the finest holiday experience with the widest choice of leisure options. From the very first moment you arrive, you realize that Sandy Lane is no ordinary hotel. As your chauffeured luxury car sweeps smoothly into the driveway, you glimpse, between the lines of mature mahogany trees, a Palladian-style building of cream coral-stone shimmering in the sunlight and the sapphire waters of the Caribbean. Sandy Lane offers a selection of luxuriously furnished rooms and suites, each beautifully appointed with over sized-terraces. Dinning at the resort, guests have a choice of fine dining at the signature restaurant, L’Acajou serving unrivalled French cuisine, or at the casual Bajan Blue offering specialities from the Caribbean, Asian and Mediterranean. Guest can enjoy the superb 47,000 sq ft world-class spa and Sandy Lane’s magnificent 45 holes of championship golf.
