Lush Caribbean island coastline for Sandals and Beaches travel

Destinations

Islands

The resort brand is consistent. The islands are not. Flight time, transfer, beach, and hurricane climatology should pick the destination before the room category does.

9 resorts

Jamaica

Seven Sandals resorts plus Beaches Negril. Stay-at-one, play-at-many exchange in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. Best island if you want options, reggae, and a short flight.

3 resorts

Saint Lucia

The most dramatic scenery in the collection. Three Sandals properties — Grande St. Lucian, Regency La Toc, and Halcyon Beach — with stay-at-one, play-at-three.

2 resorts

The Bahamas

Sandals Royal Bahamian sits on Cable Beach in Nassau with a private offshore island. Beaches Exuma (the former Sandals Emerald Bay) is slated as a future family resort.

2 resorts

Barbados

Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados share a beach near St. Lawrence Gap. Stay at one, play at two. Lower hurricane exposure than Jamaica or the Bahamas.

1 resort

Antigua

Sandals Grande Antigua sits on Dickenson Bay. Famous for Rondoval suites and a long, swimmable beach.

1 resort

Grenada

Sandals Grenada is the only property on the island. Quieter than Jamaica, with a strong beach and a southern-Caribbean storm profile.

1 resort

Curaçao

Sandals Royal Curaçao is the usual recommendation for August–October. Colorful Willemstad, MINI Cooper exploring in select suites, and historically very low hurricane risk.

1 resort

Saint Vincent

Sandals Saint Vincent is the wild-card pick: newer build, dramatic coastline, and a southern-Caribbean location with lower storm risk than Jamaica.

1 resort

Turks & Caicos

Beaches Turks & Caicos is the flagship family property: multiple villages, Pirates Island waterpark, Sesame Street programming, and a new Treasure Beach Village.
