Barbados pairs established beach resorts with plantation-era history and a strong local food culture. The calmer west coast contrasts with the Atlantic surf and rugged scenery of the east.

Fairmont Royal Pavilion is an unusually intimate Platinum Coast resort where all 72 rooms and suites face the Caribbean from private terraces directly beside the sand.
A Caribbean icon on Barbados’s Platinum Coast, Sandy Lane combines 113 rooms and suites, a 1,000-foot coral-sand beach, three golf experiences and a vast 47,000-square-foot spa with intensely personalized service.
