Sandy Lane

Since opening its doors in 1961, St James, Barbados' Sandy Lane resort has beckoned guests to its Caribbean accommodations amidst some of the world's most luxurious coral sand beaches and most friendly people. Ocean views abound from Sandy Lane's many types of rooms, which range from five-bedroom villas and penthouses with whirlpool tubs to suites and rooms with large bathrooms and flat-panel televisions. Decor is elegant and panoramas are million-dollar.

As famous as Sandy Lane the resort is, its three golf courses have made a name in their own right, including Tom Fazio's renowned Green Monkey layout -- carved out of an old limestone quarry and exclusively offered to guests of Sandy Lane. Sweeping double stairways welcome guests to The Spa at Sandy Lane for indulgence in one of its many rejuvenating treatments, while one of Sandy Lane's four restaurants -- including the romantic open-air L'Acajou -- offers one of the top dining experiences in Barbados.
