Sandals Royal Barbados - Barbados

Overview

Other facilities

Sandals Royal Beach provides an abundance of activities for you to enjoy. The expansive and beautiful beachfront is ideal for both relaxation and beach fun. Head here to try a selection non-motorised water sports, from paddle boarding to canoeing, and kayaking or boogie boarding. You can also take a trip out on the glass bottom boat and snorkel in crystal clear waters. A comprehensive scuba diving programme is also included at the hotel (free for certified divers).

Away from the water, there’s a fitness centre and yoga pavilion, as well as space to play beach volleyball, cricket, table tennis and pool. You can’t miss Lovers Lane, the intimate bowling alley which features four lanes and a bar which serves signature cocktails whilst you play.

After all the action, unwind in one of the tranquil lounge areas or take a dip in a choice of three freshwater swimming pools (and two whirlpools). This includes the impressive glass infinity pool and the zero-entry rooftop pool which boasts stunning ocean vistas. Order refreshments from the rooftop bar or make the most of friendly poolside service. To completely rejuvenate, you can’t beat a visit to Red Lane Spa, which offers a full range of specialist treatments from Caribbean seaweed body wraps to soothing couples’ massages. You can also book a selection of beauty treatments here, although men might prefer a pamper at the on-site men’s barbershop – The Clip Yard.

In the evenings, revel in nightly entertainment by the beach or pool – whether it’s a live band, beach party, chocolate buffet night or manager’s cocktail party. You can also head to the sister resort next door to experience its restaurants, bars, entertainment, beach and all other amenities.
