There’s a lot to love about a Sandals Resort. With properties scattered across the azure waters of some of the world’s most vibrant holiday destinations – including Jamaica, Antigua, Saint Lucia, the Bahamas, Grenada, Barbados and Curaçao – a trip to Sandals remains one of the best ways to discover the Caribbean. And with everything from delicious food and drink to water sports included in the price of your holiday, it’s no wonder this most decorated of operators has been awarded the World’s Leading All-Inclusive Resorts 25 Years in a row at the World Travel Awards. If that’s piqued your curiosity, here’s the inside track on what makes a Sandals holiday so special.

Five-star dining

If you’re like us, the food offering is always front of mind when it comes to choosing a holiday destination. And Sandals is on hand to deliver, with up to 16 restaurants per resort that serve an array of globally inspired cuisines, from the native food of the islands – made with fresh seafood caught just off the Caribbean coast – to US-inspired steakhouses, Japanese sushi and teppanyaki, Italian pasta and pizza and more. If you’re keen for wine and cocktails, you might be interested to know that each Sandals Resort’s bars and restaurants are fully stocked with premium branded wine and spirits, from Caribbean rum to fine champagne and plenty more besides. What’s more, all food, wine and cocktails are included as part of the resort’s 5-Star Global Gourmet™ Dining concept.

Sports and activities

You can trust us when we say lazing around a turquoise pool or lying on a pristine white-sand beach with a piña colada is a pretty good way to spend time on holiday. But if you’re keen to up the ante with some activity, Sandals has you covered. Everything from top-level scuba diving, snorkelling and water sports to teeing off at world-class golf courses and hitting the tennis courts – plus state-of-the-art gyms at every destination – is also included. Most can be booked on the day, meaning you don’t have to decide in advance – just follow your instincts.

A slice of luxury

Nevertheless, relaxation is always central to a Sandals holiday, and no matter the destination, there’s no better place to unwind and get away from the stresses of daily life. It starts before you’ve even left your suite, from gloriously romantic Love Nest Butler Suites® to Millionaire Bluff-Top suites with panoramic ocean views, and Swim-Up Suites that allow you to float up to your private patio, with a private butler included in many of them. Combine this with the serene, crystal-clear waters of the resorts’ beautiful beaches and you’ve got a holiday that truly does have everything.
