The name Sandy Lane is synonymous with opulence, grandeur and impeccable service.

From the moment you arrive by chauffeur-driven car, your wellbeing is uppermost. The attentive staff are always at hand, often anticipating your needs before you do! This attention to detail continues in the elegant rooms and suites, where dark wood, marble and cream tones give a refined, colonial feel, and discreet state-of-the-art features include plasma TVs and Internet access.

The palatial Penthouse Suites and The Villa offer even greater luxury amid magnificent ocean views.

The lovely grounds, studded with fountains and mahogany groves, unfold to a stunning crescent beach, where a refreshment service and water sports ensure hours of enjoyment. Children aged 3 to 12 will love the Treehouse Club’s imaginative activities, while the hotel’s concierge can arrange your perfect holiday, whether you want to play tennis, explore the island – be it in a Bentley, helicopter or catamaran – or play golf.

With no fewer than 45 holes on three courses, two of which are Tom Fazio designed, even the most discerning golfer will revel at Sandy Lane. Winding through the estate, the famous ‘Old Nine’ has been revamped, and is joined by two 18-hole courses, the Country Club, with its superb sea vistas, and the new Green Monkey, dramatically carved out of a former quarry.

A splendid Romanesque building fronted by a waterfall and free-form pool houses the world-class spa. This delightful sanctuary features 14 suites, some with private gardens or hydrotherapy pools. Treatments range from chakra therapy to a pampering Bajan massage with two therapists, and there’s also a unique Ice Cave where guests can cool off.
Only the finest food and drink is served here – dine alfresco on gourmet French cuisine and fine wines at waterfront L’Acajou, or enjoy Caribbean fare with a cosmopolitan twist at informal Bajan Blue on the beach. Wherever you choose, a first class Sandy Lane experience is guaranteed.
