The global luxury hotspot brand Nikki Beach has opened its brand-new location in Barbados.

Nikki Beach Barbados is set on 1.4 acres at the Port Ferdinand resort complex on Barbados’ Platinum Coast.

The lounge includes a swim-up octagon wet bar, seven catamaran-like lounges, luxury pool beds and VIP cabanas and a lifestyle boutique.

Cuisine is Nikki Beach’s classic globally-inspired fare, from sushi boats to fresh fish.

The music program includes resident DJs, in-house musicians and more than 50 speakers.

It’s open every day from noon to 8 PM.

Nikki Beach Barbados becomes the brand’s second location in the Caribbean, following in the footsteps of the legendary beach lounge in St Barth.

The lounge is kicking things off in a big way this weekend with a major planned New Year’s Eve bash.
