Yet all offer that perfect mix of stunning scenery and breathtaking natural wonders, beautiful beaches, crystalline turquoise waters, plus the best in luxury breaks, from incredible cuisine to unique experiences and adventures you’ll remember forever.

With 18 adults-only beachside resorts spread across each of these beautiful destinations, luxury holiday experts Sandals Resorts provide the ultimate Caribbean getaway. Not only is each resort in an incredible tropical setting, but they are all-inclusive, taking your holiday to the next level.

Once you arrive at your chosen resort, refreshed and relaxed, you’ll check into one of several luxury accommodation options. It might be a butler-serviced beachfront villa with a private pool overlooking the ocean, an over-water villa perched over the Caribbean Sea, or a swim-up suite that gives you direct access to the resort’s pool.

With everything included, the most taxing part of your day will be deciding what to do. As part of the all-inclusive Sandals package guests can enjoy unlimited watersports, including scuba diving for certified divers, snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing and windsurfing.
