5 of the Best Honeymoon Hotels in Barbados

What makes the perfect honeymoon hotel? Easy to get to? Romantic? Pampering? Intimate? Great facilities? Great food? Great value? Great kids club? The perfect ‘one’ will be different for every couple, which is why our Hotel Gurus recommend Barbados as a great Caribbean island honeymoon destination — there’s so much choice when it comes to accommodation! And of course it’s trendy, cosmopolitan and surrounded by beaches and tropical landscapes that are nothing short of paradise. To help convince you the Gurus have come up with recommendations for the best honeymoon hotels in Barbados, and we think you will definitely find ‘the one’ here.

For a complete escape

• The House is the perfect spot to unwind and luxuriate in your new status, by the chic lagoon pool, in the cool beach bar, along the paradise-perfect beach, and in your elegant suite. There are only 34 suites here, all designed for two — this is an adults only property — with large beds, white linen and marble. The pampering starts with your complimentary jet-lag massage, and won’t stop until you have to leave. All inclusive romance.

For luxury

• Sandy Lane is an opulent, un-faultable, five star, beachfront hotel complete with elegant marble pillars, chandeliers, a palatial spa, a pool with a waterfall, tropical gardens, three golf courses and sublime food and drink. There are all sorts of add-ons for honeymooners, like sailing trips, beach picnics, intimate private dining and enough facilities to keep you in the resort.
• The Coral Reef Club is an elegant hotel, with 12 acres of landscaped tropical gardens on one side and a daydream-like white, sandy beach on the other. The main hotel building houses the restaurant and luxurious spa, plus some of the rooms and suites, and surrounding it are a collection of colonial-chic plantation cottages — for optimum privacy and your own plunge pool. This is a super stylish spot, offering both total pampering and/or the opportunity to try lots of watersports, improve your tennis game, explore the local nature reserve, and dance the night away in the bar.

For Something a bit Different

• The fact that Lone Star has been converted from a garage seems incongruous to the fact that it’s also one of the best restaurants in the Caribbean — but both are true! This fabulous conversion, in a stunning west coast position overlooking a pristine beach, has just six rooms tacked onto the restaurant, but they’re intimate and extremely luxurious, so definitely don’t feel like an afterthought if you’re staying there. Switch off and be pampered!

For Great Value

• Edging onto a beautiful white, sandy beach on Idyllic Paynes Bay, Treasure Beach’s 35 suites have wonderful ocean views. It’s elegant inside and out, with dark wood floors and original artworks in all the rooms, and a beautifully landscaped pool — though the deluxe suites have private plunge pools too. The restaurant is award winning, and bar lively, the facilities are varied and they have a wedding license… and it’s all inclusive.
