Sandals is opening a new property in Barbados: Sandals Royal Barbados.

The new all-suite resort, Sandals’ second in Barbados, has launched booking for stays beginning Dec. 20, 2017.

The property had originally been planned as an expansion of the company’s existing Barbados resort.

“After reviewing the scope of the project, we felt that expanding may compromise intimacy, essential to a romantic setting, and possibly service standards, so we established a management team dedicated exclusively to Sandals Royal Barbados and designed the new resort to complement Sandals Barbados, where in Sandals’ style –  guests may ‘stay at one, but play at two,” said Sandals Chairman Gordon “Butch” Stewart.

The property will have 222 rooms, all of which will be concierge and butler-level suites, including the company’s signature Rondoval, Millionaire Butler Suites and Skypool Suites (the latter include private Rolls Royce transfers from the airport).

The resort will also include a 15,000-square-foot Red Lane spa, four bars and five restaurants including American, French, Chinese-Japanese Fusion, Caribbean and Mediterranean eateries.

Also on hand will be a 6,000-square-foot conference facility.
