Chasing THE SUN

Imagine basking in the Caribbean winter sun on pristine beaches, nothing on your to-do list besides romantic dinners and island experiences, a butler by your side to tend to every need. Sandals have been perfecting the formula for the ultimate luxury escape for 40 years, and it’s everything you’d expect from a 25-time winner of World’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort at the World Travel Awards.

Sixteen stunning, beachfront resorts stretch across the dreamiest corners of the Caribbean – take your pick from the sun-drenched islands of Antigua, Curaçao (opening spring 2022), Barbados, Jamaica, Grenada, St Lucia or The Bahamas. The best part? Everything is included. The warmest azure seas are there for the taking: you can discover the world beneath the surface on scuba diving excursions, set sail to explore hidden shores and water-ski between secluded bays to your heart’s content. It’s impossible not to immerse yourself in the laid-back flow of the Caribbean as you sip on premium Appleton Estate rum by the pool or tee off at one of the world-class golf courses in Jamaica, The Bahamas or St Lucia before winding down with a couple’s massage under the stars.

After that, retreat to your Millionaire Bluff-Top Suite to take in panoramic ocean views or relax in the gentle sea breeze on the terrace of your Over-The-Water Villa. Lovebirds can enjoy utmost privacy in Sandals’ exotic Love Nest Butler Suites, ranging from beachfront penthouses to one-bedroom garden suites with infinity plunge pools and soaking tubs for the ultimate alfresco relaxation.

When it comes to food, you’re spoilt for choice wherever you are, with up to 16 restaurants and 23 unique dining concepts per resort. Whether you fancy sampling the morning’s catch or a fillet steak, Italian or French, teppanyaki or tapas, expect nothing short of topquality dishes fashioned from the freshest ingredients. Take date nights up a notch with a private candlelit dinner as the sun sets over the blue. You deserve it. To book your stay, call 0800 742 742 or visit sandals.co.uk
