Best Luxury Hotels in Saint James

Boasting one of the best locations in the whole of Barbados, guests are treated to a stretch of pure white sand to spread out on and plenty of excellent amenities to make use of. The buildings here stretch along the tranquil and picturesque Alleynes Bay and guests are provided with uninterrupted views from their large balconies. Each of the 72 guest rooms faces out onto the ocean and is decorated in cream, grey and beige with contemporary local artwork providing splashes of colour. Water lovers can wallow in the hot tub or swim laps in the nearby rectangular pool, while the elegant Palm Terrace provides the perfect place to dine at the end of the day.

The Sandpiper is one of West Indies’ most exclusive small luxury hotels, tucked away on St James Beach on the island’s west coast.  This award-winning family-run property combines the best of both worlds by being close to Holetown – the focal point of tourism on the islands, while offering a discreet and intimate haven at which to relax and unwind. There are fifty rooms in total and the best options for lovers of luxury are the elegant Beach House Suites and the Tree Top Suite Curlew, which have been recently created and boast enormous waterfront terraces. The Restaurant at The Sandpiper is set in the middle of the hotel’s glorious gardens surrounded by tranquil koi ponds and the menu showcases beautifully presented and delicious Caribbean-inspired dishes.
