VIDEO: Checking in to the Colony Club, Barbados

Some islands have a look; a personality; a character. Others have a certain feel.

When you’re in Barbados, you’ll understand it — there’s something about the island — the architecture, the pace, the hue of the water.

They all add up to something special — a rarefied cocktail of charm, grace and luxury that is somehow only possible here.

And if you’re looking to experience that feel, distilled and unadulterated, it’s time to check in to the Colony Club.

Perhaps no resort on Barbados’ Platinum Coast harnesses the Barbados “feel” any better — from the tree-fillsd beaches to the window shutters to the waterfalls.

It’s a unique property, and it’s quintessentially Bajan.
