Simon Cowell, Gwyneth Paltrow, David and Victoria Beckham, native Barbadian Rihanna — and pretty much any A-lister coming through Barbados — stay here. It must be something in their Caribbean beachfront water. Welcome to the Sandy Lane in Barbados.

Sandy Lane is an institution, around since the golden age of travel in the 1960s.  You come to Barbados for the beach, but if luxury hotels are your thing, it’s Sandy Lane that is the draw.  It’s a life of leisure on property, where it’s meant for you to never leave, like the celebrities who vacation and stay at the resort.  Three golf courses, private beach, spa, four restaurants and seven bars – it’s like a stand-alone city, albeit a very exclusive one.  Like Rihanna who owns a home on property, you’ll have Sandy Lane on the brain.
