Call usThe Sandpiper, Barbados
Overview
A family-run jewel on the calm west coast, this boutique hideaway sits within 12 acres of tropical gardens and overlooks a pristine white-sand beach. Built in the 1970s by the O’Hara family, the hotel retains nostalgic Caribbean charm with whitewashed villas, rattan furniture, and vintage Barbadian artworks.
With just 50 rooms and suites – including private kitchenettes, garden lodgings, one- and two-bedroom suites, and the standout Curlew Suite with its oceanfront plunge pool – each space is designed for peaceful luxury. Guests are treated to personal touches from welcome juices and bedtime biscuits to locally inspired mocktails for children.
Low-key sophistication defines the experience. Water sports – from kayaking to turtle-snorkelling – are complimentary, while two swimming pools, beachside dinners at Harold’s Bar, and evening gatherings bring guests together in a warm, social setting.
