The Waves hotel in Barbados.

Marriott has expanded its all-inclusive collection on the island of Barbados with one of the Platinum Coast’s top boutique hotels. 

The Waves Hotel and Spa has relaunched under Marriott’s Autograph Collection brand, the newest addition to its growing all-inclusive portfolio in Barbados. 

The 70-room hotel is perched over a lovely stretch of west coast beach in Barbados; it’s part of the Elegant Hotels collection that Marriott purchased back in 2019 to begin its all-inclusive push across the Caribbean. 

We enjoyed it on our last stay, particularly its very cool perk: you get a free spa treatment with every stay at the hotel, depending on the length of booking.

What about prices? You can book a room at Waves in January for about $1,021 per night if you pre pay the rate. You can find a spa suite for about $1,046 per night.
