A new luxury all-inclusive resort is set to make its highly-anticipated debut in October: the O2 Beach Club and Spa on Barbados’ bustling southern coast. 

The new “five-star” all-inclusive is set on Dover Beach in the heart of Barbados’ St Lawrence Gap. 

It’s a transformation of the former Ocean Two Resort and Residences, part of the Ocean Hotels portfolio. 

“There is something new and exciting in the luxury market in Barbados — and it happens to be on the South Coast,” said Patricia Affonso-Dass, Group General Manager for Ocean Hotels Group Barbados. “We are confident that O2 Beach Club and Spa will take center stage in Barbados’ luxury hotel offerings, combining authentic personalized service with upscale accommodations and world class dining to create unforgettable experiences.”

Ocean Hotels says the name is a nod to the symbol of oxygen, “the element as natural and life essential as the act of breathing.” 

The hotel will have a total of 130rooms and suites in three different “collections”: Club, Luxury and Concierge. 

Amenities will include three pools, including one of the only rooftop pools in Barbados, along with six dining concepts, seven bars and a 5,600-square-foot, full-service spa. 

The spa will feature the only Hammam in Barbados, with seaweed-infused products by oSea. 

It will also include an adults-only component, with the Luxury Collection to be comprised of adults-only suites, all with private sea-view balconies, along with a collection of swim-up rooms. 

Ocean Hotels’ Barbados portfolio also includes the South Beach hotel and the popular Sea Breeze Beach House, one of the island’s leading all-inclusives.
