The Sandpiper 

The epitome of luxury

Immerse yourself in a tropical paradise with a special stay at this luxe oasis

The Sandpiper Hotel is like something out of a magazine. Set amidst tropical palm-studded gardens and bordered by a bay of powdery white sands and shallow turquoise waters, it’s nothing short of paradise. You can hide away in your swanky treetop suite, sip Pina Coladas poolside, dine alfresco under the starry skies or snorkel through coral-filled waters – and that’s just the start. Younger ones are catered to as well, with a family programme of activities for ages two to 12 and watersports for those a bit older. Despite a secluded setting that makes you feel like you’re a million miles from anything, all the amenities of Holetown are just a courtesy ride away – that’s if you can bring yourself to leave this luxurious sanctuary

Why we love The Sandpiper

  • The luxurious Treetop Suites are perfect for an extra special stay with stunning ocean vistas and private plunge pools.

  • Harold’s Bar is a hotel hot spot where you can order a cocktail and soak up the easy-ging island atmosphere.

  • The hotel is located near to a range of amenities including incredible golf courses and breathtaking beaches. Holetown’s restaurants and shops are also just a short drive away.

  • If you fancy a salon or spa treatment, you can hop on a free shuttle to the sister hotel for a day of pampering.

Whats Included

Breakfast at The Restaurant

Head over to The Sandpiper’s sister hotel Coral Reef Barbados via complimentary luxury transfer to revel in the tranquil atmosphere of the spa. Alongside a menu of mind and body melting treatments, there’s an outdoor hydropool where you can experience the healing powers of water, and shady cabanas that make the ideal place to drift to when feeling totally zen post therapy. The thermal suite has a stream room and experience shower.

Head down to the sands to take part in the included non-motorised watersports; they have the kit for Hobie cate and Laser sailing, snorkeliing, kayaking and paddleboarding. A few adrenaline-inducing motorised watersports can be arranged on site at an extra cost, as can diving trips and Naui and PADI-accredited courses from the Coral Reef Barbados’ dive school.

The Sandpiper is a laid-back hotel for families who are looking for some low-key time together. They have thought of the little things here with children’s room service available between 5.30pm and 9.30pm which can be served on your private terrace or at the Restaurant Terrace (before 7pm); all you need to do is arrange it with the maitre d’ by midday that day.

If you have a special occasion planned, babysitting is available and you don’t need to travel with everything plus the kitchen sink as they have a selection of baby equipment available on request on a first come first served basis. Between the early summer months and late August (call for specific dates), there’s a specially designed family programme for kids aged between two and 12 years which includes sailing trips and swimming lessons.
