Why people love it
The feeling of this stay
The Platinum Coast's most iconic address — a coral-stone resort set in an ancient mahogany grove above a 1,000 ft crescent of white sand, with the Tom Fazio-designed Green Monkey golf course and a 47,000 sq ft spa.
What to expect
The stay, end to end
Nestled within an ancient mahogany grove on the Platinum Coast of Barbados, Sandy Lane overlooks a tranquil 1,000 ft crescent of white coral-sand beach and turquoise waters.
For more than sixty years, the resort has been a Caribbean home for discerning travellers, defined by coral-stone architecture, exclusive privacy and quietly attentive service.
Guests have access to The Green Monkey — a Tom Fazio-designed, par-72, 7,343-yard course reserved for resort guests — alongside two further golf courses, and to the 47,000 sq ft Spa at Sandy Lane, voted the #1 Hotel Spa in the Caribbean, Bermuda and the Bahamas by Travel + Leisure.
Families are welcome but the overall mood remains refined and grown-up.
