Escape to the Islands
A Honeymooner's Haven in Barbados | By Nicole Poggi

Indulge in the dreamy bliss of a romantic honeymoon at Sandy Lane in the town of St. James on the island of Barbados. Since 1961, this resort has been a favorite among movie stars, musicians, sports stars, and royalty and it's a perfect place to relax, unwind and immerse in the romance of being newlyweds.

With alluring views of the sparkling blue Caribbean Sea and the highest quality accommodations, honeymooners won't have to worry about anything but enjoying the breathtaking experience and focusing on one another.

For this special occasion, the resort offers 60 luxury ocean rooms with views of the sapphire waters and sandy beaches. Each room features multi-spray showers, heated bathroom mirrors, and parabolic speakers for musical enjoyment. Watch the sun set from your own private verandah after arriving from a candlelight dinner for two at one of the resort's four elegant restaurants, or soak in a butler drawn bath with chocolate truffles.
Expect a bottle of champagne upon arrival and a full English breakfast every morning. For ultimate relaxation, couples can take advantage of a couples spa experience provided at the on-site Romanesque-style spa with highly skilled therapists using traditional cultural therapies of the Caribbean and Far East.

Being in the Caribbean is all about enjoying the water, so even when couples are finished relaxing on the beach or at the free form pool, there is still plenty to do on the water. Take a stroll down the shore to the beach club and grab a two-seater kayak or enjoy a Catamaran sailing excursion together. Get in tune with nature and swim with sea turtles or let the resort staff arrange a scuba diving adventure. The resort also boasts three championship golf courses and nine tennis courts so if couples are looking to get active on land they have plenty to choose from.

No matter how beautiful the scenery or how posh the rooms at Sandy Lane, the key here is service and it's why so many honeymooners will not be disappointed with a stay at this resort. From the moment couples arrive they are whisked away to the resort in a Bentley and treated to every desire by the accommodating staff. Leave planning to the concierge who is available to do everything from unpacking your luggage to arranging a helicopter ride around the island.
