Sandy Lane

What's the recipe for the ultimate golfer's vacation? Is it three courses on one gorgeous resort? Is it looking out over the calm blue Caribbean as you play? Is it an award-winning spa that offers golfer-specific treatments? Or is it shopping for duty-free jewelry and gems within putting distance of the pro shop?

Whether you're a golfer, or just someone who loves one, you'll find all the ingredients for a dream Barbadian holiday at the legendary Sandy Lane resort. This beautiful hotel, in business since 1961, has mastered the art of pampering guests. Enormous guest rooms, impeccably and classically furnished, entice you onto private verandas. The deep blue of the sky overhead is matched only by the elegant multi-level swimming pools.

Swim with sea turtles, play tennis day or night, or just sink into that famous silky white sand on the beach. Rest assured that wherever you relax, you're always within reach of a refreshing cocktail, presented by the attentive Sandy Lanes' staff.
