The paradise where luxury is included
WINTER days aren’t usually much to write home about – but if you head to the Caribbean you’ll swap monotone skies for a joyous riot of islands that will bring the season vividly to life.
Instead of muffling up, you will escape to a world of turquoise seas, soft, white sand, and emerald rainforests – and get a burst of much needed sunshine.
At the best all-inclusive resorts you can indulge in five-star gourmet food, relax in a hammock, take a soak in a tub, or try a fantastic range of fun watersports. It’s what a couple’s holiday in this famously indulgent destination is all about.
Sandals has perfected the art of the all-inclusive – with far more inclusions than most other resorts.
Everything in its 16 stunningly romantic beachfront resorts comes as part of the package – from waterskiing to lobster at dinner. So whether you want to spend your days sipping cocktails by the pool or trying every activity under the sun, you can put your purse away and relax.
With gorgeous white-sand beaches, fabulous dining experiences, opulent accommodation, unlimited premium beverages, exciting watersports, private offshore islands and more, this is the tropical escape of choice for couples, many of whom return time and again.
And now there’s something extra-special at Sandals – going ‘over-the-water’.
New suites opening in December at Sandals South Coast, Jamaica, perch on a deck and float above the sea, giving an intimate connection with the ocean.
You’ll find ‘sea-through’ glass floors, a tranquillity tub and an over-the-water hammock for two, plus impeccable personalised butler service and 24-hour room service.
These fabulous, Maldivian-style over-the water suites are also available at Sandals Royal Caribbean, Jamaica, and Sandals Grande St Lucian, St Lucia.
In addition, the Latitudes Bar at Sandals South Coast features over-the-water hammocks, where you can relax together and enjoy a sundowner.
There are even over-the-water, glass-aisled chapels with panoramic views here and at Sandals Grande St Lucian, making for some of the most romantic wedding venues in the Caribbean. And yes, the wedding is included!
The over-the-water theme is one of the latest stunning firsts from Sandals, which also opens a second luxuryincluded resort in British-influenced Barbados on December 20.
Sandals Royal Barbados, in the vibrant St Lawrence Gap area, will feature further great innovations, including rooftop and beachfront infinity pools, barber shop, massive Red Lane Spa and four-lane bowling alley, Lovers’ Lanes. And guests in top category suites will enjoy additional pampering with airport transfers in a Rolls-Royce.
Couple the amazing facilities at each Sandals resort with the huge choice of activities – all included – and you have a holiday that’s full of romance, adventure and fun.
Sandals has 200 top-quality boats, making motorised watersports such as waterskiing and tubing freely available. And if you are registered, you can dive every day of your stay if you wish. Alternatively, learn during your trip on a PADI-certified programme, for an additional fee.
From tennis to golf on courses designed by Greg Norman, there are so many land-based sports, too.
And with up to 16 restaurants per resort, your tastebuds can travel the world, with premium drinks included.
