One of the top Barbados hotels is getting a major new look.

Earlier this year, Elegant Hotels added Barbados’ Waves Hotel & Spa to its portfolio.

The 70-room boutique on the island’s Platinum Coast is currently undergoing a significant “Ibiza-meets-South Beach” renovation, slated for completion in July.

But the company has already announced pre-opening promotional pricing designed to get travelers to add a trip to “Bim” on their summer travel agenda.

Book now through June 13 and you can save up to 40 percent on all-inclusive rates that start at $317 per person. Other perks included in the deal: three complimentary rounds of golf at South Coast Golf Club and a free spa treatment.

Travel must be completed between July 18 and October 22.
