Overview
All-inclusive ease on the south coast
Sugar Bay is a stylish, easygoing all-inclusive on a lively south-coast beach at Hastings, beside the UNESCO Garrison and near Bridgetown and Carlisle Bay — the social, do-it-all counterpoint to the secluded west-coast luxury. A sheltered swimming lagoon offers calm, family-friendly water, the South Coast Boardwalk runs alongside, and St Lawrence Gap's nightlife is about ten minutes away. Renovated and reopened in 2015, it runs to a hundred and thirty-eight spacious rooms with balconies or patios, many with lagoon or ocean views, with four restaurants led by the Sizzle Steakhouse plus buffet and a la carte tables, two pools with a swim-up bar, beach and swim-up bars, a full-service spa of three treatment rooms and a kids' club. The all-inclusive covers meals, drinks and activities, and the airport is around fifteen to twenty minutes away. It is a relaxed, central base with town, beach and nightlife on the doorstep.

The Crane Resort
The oldest continuously operating hotel in the Caribbean, since 1887, set on a cliff above the famous pink sand of Crane Beach on Barbados' characterful south-east coast. Spacious self-catering residences with private plunge pools, five restaurants including the cliff-edge Zen, and a 1.5-acre cascading pool complex.

Coral Reef Club
Fifty years of O'Hara family ownership show in this elegant west-coast resort, twelve acres of gardens running down to a white-sand beach.

Sandy Lane
Barbados' icon on the Platinum Coast, set in a mahogany grove above a thousand feet of crescent beach. Forty-five holes of Tom Fazio golf — including the guests-only Green Monkey — a 47,000-square-foot spa voted the Caribbean's best, and Palladian-plantation glamour that has drawn a celebrity following since 1961.
