Sandals Is Adding New Plunge-Pool Villa Suites to Its All-Inclusive Resort in St Vincent

What one of the new plunge pool suites looks like.

When it comes to hotel amenities in the Caribbean, there’s one we tend to place above everything else: having your own private plunge pool. It just feels better than a regular suite. It’s your own oasis, private, easy to access, serene. 

When it’s an option, I always recommend that travelers make the splurge — it’s always worth it. 

And now Sandals has announced a major addition to its buzzing all-inclusive resort in St Vincent: and it’s all about plunge pools. 

Beginning early next year, Sandals St Vincent is adding plunge pools to 24 new-look suites: one-bedroom Butler Villa Suites that will, yes, all come with their own private plunge pools. 

So what are they like? 

The view to your pool.

The Villa Suites are lush garden rooms; you get 935 square feet of space, a king bed, double vanities, a rain shower and a soaking tub (yes, big enough for two). 

That’s in addition to all-inclusive signatures like the in-room bar with top-shelf liquors, airport transfers, in-room dining, Mondavi wines and stocked fridges. 

It’s another lift for a resort that has had a game-changing effect on both the Caribbean all-inclusive space and the island of St Vincent itself — something we’ve called the “Sandals Effect.” Indeed – St Vincent has quickly become one of the fastest-growing destinations in the Caribbean right now. 

The new suites are already bookable; you can make reservations for stays beginning Jan. 25, 2026, Sandals confirmed to Caribbean Journal. 

Of course, there’s a wide diversity of room options at the company’s St Vincent resort, which first opened last year. That includes the resort’s famous two-level overwater villas.

Are you planning a vacation to St Vincent? You can fly nonstop from an increasing number of airports right now. That includes out of Miami on American Airlines, where you can get roundtrip fares for about $650 right now, according to Google Flights.

Here’s how to find the rooms.
