Full accommodation 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.
