With breathtaking sunsets, silky sandy beaches and glistening clear waters; Barbados is the most perfect destination for an unforgettable, romantic holiday in the sun with the one you love.

Whether you are planning a Caribbean wedding, jetting off for your dream honeymoon or are simply looking for a romantic escape in a luxury private holiday villa; Barbados will create memories with your soul mate that will last a lifetime. From the extravagant and luxurious, to simple and low-key, below is a list of the most romantic activities on this special Caribbean island.

Sunset strolls and stylish cocktails

The beautiful Barbados boardwalk is located on the southern coast of the island in Hastings. It’s best to arrive before 5.30 to stroll up the quiet, tranquil boardwalk where you can take a seat to fully immerse yourself in the moment and enjoy one of the best views of a Caribbean sunset anywhere on the island.

The Barbados Boardwalk

Inspired by the mesmerising Caribbean waters, Drift Ocean Terrace lounge in Holetown has a fabulous beachfront deck, perfectly positioned to sit hand in hand with a cocktail as you watch the sun disappear over the horizon. This sophisticated lounge overlooks the stunning west coast of Barbados and exudes an effortlessly seductive atmosphere with a dress code of ‘No effort, no entry’, giving you the perfect excuse to get dressed up for special date night.

Enjoy an elegant evening of drinks with the mixologists at Lime bar who are famous for being spirit connoisseurs that craft heavenly flavor combinations. This chic west coast bar serves every drink with precision and panache, we recommend a mean mojito, cool caipirinhas or devilishly good rum punches, to be enjoyed alongside the live music by the islands calypsonian masters. Be careful though…these potent punches and enticing Caribbean rhythms have been known to cause increased heartbeats and dancing feet!

Happy Hour!

The Food of Love

Barbados may be a remote tropical island, but it is renowned for having some of the most exceptional, high-end restaurants offering a deliciously diverse range of worldwide dishes…with a side serving of incredible sea views. 

Experience the ultimate romantic dinner date at the highly-exclusive restaurant ‘The Cliff’. Start your evening of romance with a pre-dinner cocktail at the upper-level bar to take in the breath-taking sea views. Your torchlit cliff-side table then awaits to delight all your senses. Hear the sea gently rolling against the rocks whilst watching sting rays elegantly dance in the lit up clear waters below as you savor the restaurants’ world-class cuisine. 

The Cliff Restaurant

This is one of the most famous restaurants on the island, so we recommend that you make a reservation as far in advance as possible, especially if you would like a seafront table as in high season as there will be a waiting list.

Long, Lazy Beach Days

Barbados is famous for having some of the best beaches in the Caribbean so whether you are prefer a surfers paradise or a tranquil sunlit bay, it is the perfect place for any sun seeking visitor.

The Platinum Coast is the most glamorous and luxurious area of Barbados and is home to the world-renowned Sandy Lane Hotel. The Sandy Lane beach club is famous for its signature pink beach towels, immaculate white sand and exciting choice of water sports; making it a popular destination for celebrity guests and the world elite. Sit back and relax with flawless beach service delivering a fabulous array of perfectly chilled drinks and delicious snacks directly to your sun lounger as you soak up the Caribbean sunshine whilst people watching.

Sandy Lane Beach

If you prefer a more secluded and scenic beach day, we recommend the incredibly picturesque Bottoms Bay. This beautiful, expansive stretch of soft white sand is lined with gentle swaying palm trees and vibrant turquoise waters. Tucked away on the south coast of Barbados and sheltered by the high coral reefs, this quieter beach is an idyllic picnic spot followed by a romantic afternoon stroll in the sunshine with calm turquoise waves gently lapping at your feet.

Bottom Bay Beach

Relax and Unwind

The award-winning spa at Sandy Lane Hotel will transport you to another world. This decadent retreat is 47,000 square ft with polished marble, rapturous winding staircase and large luxurious treatment facilities nestled in a beautiful landscaped oasis. Treat your loved one to a truly relaxing, decadent day of bliss with personalised, world-leading treatments and luxurious tranquil surroundings.

For couples, we recommend the ‘Signature Romance Ritual’. This unique treatment is a bespoke couples treatment that will leave you truly relaxed with the warmest memories. It begins with a foot ritual in a candle lit room with rose petals and soothing aromatherapy followed by side by side full body massages using Sandy Lane’s signature sunrise and sunset oils before finishing with a wonderfully relaxing scalp massage. If that wasn’t romantic enough, you are then treated to a feast of chocolate covered strawberries and sip on a refreshing mocktail while relaxing in your own private hydro pool. If this sounds like something you would enjoy contact our Sandy Lane Barbados experts who will be delighted to make reservations for you.
