Sandy Lane - Barbados
Sandy Lane. Even the mere mention of its name alone conjures up images of serene style in a gloriously exotic setting. But the new Sandy Lane is much more - a complete resort where you can be as active or relaxed as you wish; a romantic retreat for those seeking seclusion and a haven of tranquility for couples. This is the place where memories are made ... in paradise.
From the first moment you arrive, you realize that Sandy Lane is no ordinary hotel. As your chauffeured limousine sweeps smoothly into the driveway, you glimpse between the lines of aged mahogany trees, a classical-style building of cream coralstone shimmering in the sunlight. The greeting inside is genuine and generous: freshly chilled facecloths and iced glasses of tropical fruit punch to cool you down. The smiling welcome is warm though, warm as the Bajan sunset.
Stepping out from the airy porte cochere, your gaze is immediately drawn to the sapphire sea and stretch of fine white sand hugging close to the hotel's beautifully manicured gardens - and then back, to the quintessential coralstone crescent, flanked on either side by sweeping staircases, representing the essential heart of Sandy Lane.
Exceeding all expectations, accommodation at the new Sandy Lane is stylishly appointed to the highest standards of quality, each one affording spectacular views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea from its spacious and totally private terrace.
When you feel like being pampered, the Spa at Sandy Lane is waiting to rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit. This splendid Romanesque building, fronted by a spectacular waterfall cascading into the large freeform swimming pool, contains the very finest facilities for all kinds of ancient and modern therapies which can be given, if you wish, in your own private treatment room.
What will you remember most about your stay at Sandy Lane? The friendly and highly personal service from a professional staff dedicated to serving your every need? The stylish luxury of your superbly furnished suite? Fine cuisine in a relaxed ambience? Or the wide choice offered by this complete resort? Whatever it may be, the exclusive experience is one that you can never forget...and will make you long to repeat it again, time after time.
