Hotel information
Revive your senses at The Sandpiper in Barbados. Sister hotel to the much-loved Coral Reef Club, the hotel has been catering for refined, luxury Caribbean holidays since 1970. Run by Karen and Wayne Capaldi, this intimate spot balances true sophistication with relaxed Caribbean charm.
Step into a tranquil world full of thoughtful luxuries, elegant spaces and dreamlike gardens. Refined over many years, the team at The Sandpiper pay meticulous attention to even the smallest detail, and that is exactly why many guests return again and again. The natural beauty of Barbados’s West Coast is complemented by contemporary, airy rooms and suites. From the garden rooms to the spellbinding treetop suites, you’ll have a choice of beautifully appointed private spaces in which to while away your time.
Spend your time indulging your senses in the myriad garden paths, seeking out little corners for a moment’s peace, surrounded by breathtaking tropical flowers. Or soak up the sun on the stunning white sandy beach that fringes The Sandpiper.
When you’re ready for a cool drink and a spot of shade, make your way to the tree-shaded deck to breathe in the ocean views with a cool drink in hand and to treat your taste buds, delicious cuisine can be found at the iconic Harold's Bar. By night, fairy-tale gas torches light the way to the restaurant, guiding you through the hotel’s private gardens and epitomising the hotel’s inimitably serene ambience.
To fully experience everything the area has to offer, take a leisurely stroll along the pristine sand of the West Coast Beach, or hop across to the Coral Reef Club to immerse yourself in the spa, just one of the facilities shared by both resorts. Energetic types can work up a sweat playing tennis or on the water.
Room Options
With 50 rooms and suites catering for the highest level of luxury, The Sandpiper is made with pure relaxation in mind. Many feature private kitchenettes for maximum comfort, contemporary stylings. You can settle in at a family-friendly suite, or in the sumptuous Tree Top Suites with private plunge pools and wrap around terraces.

The Sandpiper’s open-air restaurant is set amongst torch-lit tropical gardens and tranquil koi ponds, and is regarded by discerning diners as one of the very best in Barbados.
Make sure to be part of The Sandpiper’s weekly cocktail party, and Sunday night barbeque complete with steelpan music.

Sourcing the best local ingredients and using creatively inspired recipes, you’ll be able to sample delicious dishes that delight and inspire.
Harold’s Bar
Sitting back to a relaxed lunch with a sunny vista is best served at Harold’s Bar. One of the best-loved beach bars in Barbados, this is the place to grab a sunset cocktail made to Harold’s own recipes, or a tasty snack. With its beach setting, charming thatched roof and bamboo stylings, it’s the epitome of Bajan class

Tennis
Tennis courts and complimentary coaching from the hotel’s resident pro leave no excuse for keen players to brush up on their technique. If you fancy a game after dusk, the courts are thoughtfully lit.
Watersports & Pools
Take time out at one of the two gorgeous pools at The Sandpiper. Choose your own slice of paradise alongside the 60-foot lap slate pool, or the quaint mosaic tiled pool. Each is bordered by waving palm trees and manicured lawns. During the day, check out the complimentary motorised water sports down at the beach and get your adrenaline pumping.
Golf
Play a spot of golf amidst lush surrounds. Choose between world-leading courses including famous Sandy Lane, the immaculate, new Apres Hill Club, or the tropical Royal Westmoreland complete with resident monkeys.
Spa and salon
Just two minutes’ drive away, you’ll be able to treat yourself to a pampering session at the Coral Reef Club’s spa or salon. While you’re there, you can shop for beautiful beachwear, gifts and essentials for your stay.
