The Sandpiper

St James, Barbados

This hotel is seasonal welcoming guests from October to July.

An intimate, family owned hideaway on a stunning beachside setting

A discreet and exclusive hideaway, The Sandpiper is a small, privately-owned hotel with a stunning beachside setting, close to Holetown. Providing privacy and seclusion in rooms and suites set in lush, tropical gardens, the hotel also has one of the best restaurants in Barbados and a spa at its nearby sister hotel.

A stroll through the tropical gardens provides a real feel for this charming retreat. Wander through orchid and swaying coconut trees, past tranquil koi ponds down towards a beach of glistening white sand set against a deep blue sea and sky. Choose from a garden, pool or sea view room, a suite, a Tree Top Suite with its own pool, or a Beach House Suite.
