Sandy Lane, Barbados This is the Grande Dame of Barbados hotels, the exemplar of Caribbean luxury and a reminder of why Barbados is famous for its elegance and grace. And it truly is a grand place, where a sense of theater and ceremony follows your every step. But that doesn’t mean you can’t play or relax, whether it’s golf, tennis, sailing or the spa or a lazy afternoon on the Platinum Coast Sand. A true Caribbean classic.
