Synonymous for decades with glamorous Caribbean holidays, Sandy Lane has long since been the haunt of royalty, film stars and those who hanker after the best. Fêted as the ‘jewel among Caribbean resorts’, it lies on the sheltered side of the island on a powder-soft beach lapped by sapphire seas.
A magnificent Palladian style mansion, Sandy Lane manages to be all things to all people. In essence, it is no-holds-barred cosseting that Sandy Lane does best, starting as guests arrive in chauffeured executive cars and continuing without pause until they leave.
The stunning five bedroom villa and 112 enormous rooms and suites are luxurious to a fault, ranging from the exceptional orchid rooms to the two wonderful Penthouse Suites. Classically elegant décor and furnishings, such as Porthault linens on the vast beds and possibly the best showers in the world in palatial bathrooms, are complemented by the sort of hi-tech gadgetry that makes life as easy as possible. Curtains open, lights dim and fan speeds alter at the flick of a switch. There is remote control internet access via wall-mounted LCD TVs and parabolic speakers on the verandas.
Four restaurants and seven bars cater for all tastes. There is accomplished gourmet cuisine at the signature restaurant, L’Acajou, or at the other end of the culinary palate, the atmospheric beachfront Bajan Blue where celebrity guest chefs, such as Ken Hom, occasionally flex their culinary muscles.
A golfer’s paradise, Sandy Lane has three courses, including the spectacular Tom Fazio designed Green Monkey and Country Club courses. A complete range of water sports is also available at The Beach Club, while for land lovers, tennis, a session in the state-of-the-art fitness centre or just lounging by the pool are always possibilities. Yoga and a whole range of blissful treatments are on offer at the superb spa.
Children up to 12 years old are well catered for in the Treehouse Club which offers activities such as island safari trips, golf and tennis lessons and poolside barbecues. The Den, with fußball, air hockey, table tennis, computer and board games, is available for teenagers 13 to 16.
Bliss for little ones, bliss for grown ups and bliss for everyone in between; a holiday at Sandy Lane is an experience never to be forgotten.
