From the moment its first guests were welcomed in 1961, Sandy Lane has been considered the premier address in the Caribbean - preferred by royalty, movie stars and many of the business world's most discriminating personalities.

And now; after three years of redeveloping the entire property to ensure that it maintains its eminence in the 21st century, Sandy Lane Hotel and Golf Club has reopened as the premier luxury resort & spa in the world.

Sandy Lane is the complete resort … where you can be as active or relaxed as you wish; a romantic retreat for those seeking seclusion, a haven of tranquillity for couples, or the perfect location for families who desire the finest holiday experience with the widest choice of leisure options.

From the very first moment you arrive, you realize that Sandy Lane is no ordinary hotel. As your chauffeured limousine sweeps smoothly into the driveway, you glimpse, between the lines of mature mahogany trees, a Palladian-style building of cream coralstone shimmering in the sunlight and the sapphire waters of the Caribbean.
