Sandals luxury, six Caribbean islands, 15 fantastic resorts

Sandals have 15 resorts dotted across six different Caribbean islands, and while there are many similarities - including the adults’ only policy, incredible Luxury Included® restaurants, luxurious accommodation and unlimited land and water sports  - there are also some exciting differences.  Resorts with private islands, water villas, golf courses and fire pits for nightcaps under the stars are just a few of them.  Whichever Sandals resort you choose it’s sure to be full of white sandy beaches, sunshine and romance, so read on to plan your Luxury Included® Caribbean escape.

If you fancy leaving your beautiful sanctuary there are six pools to relax by, two laidback swim up bars and eleven great restaurants to choose from.  Just steps from the beach there are plenty of water sports to keep you busy, from Stand Up Paddle Boarding to sailing - or, if relaxation is your thing, Red Lane® Spa is the place to head to for pampering and indulgence.
