Sandy Lane Hotel
Sandy Lane, Barbados
On Barbados’s west coast, Sandy Lane occupies a mahogany grove beside a crescent of coral-sand beach. Its neo-Palladian buildings frame 113 rooms and suites, with a private villa as a separate stay. The resort first welcomed guests in 1961 and reopened after a full redevelopment in 2001; its enduring character comes from the pairing of a shaded, gardened setting with direct access to the sea and a substantial golf offering.
