Enjoy Pink-sand Beaches and Turquoise Waters at the Best All-inclusive Resorts in Barbados

Sandals Barbados

Also available to book at Hotels.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, and Kayak.

The Sandals resorts are known for providing luxurious and romantic all-inclusive resort packages around the Caribbean. Sandals Barbados is no exception. A unique offering of Sandals Barbados is access to the brand's other Barbados property, Sandals Royal Barbados, located right next door in the St. Lawrence Gap. Guests of either resort can go back and forth to use amenities at both locations, gaining access to 11 pools, 21 restaurants, 14 bars, and a wide stretch of secluded beachfront. Two Barbados all-inclusive resorts for the price of one? Sign us up.

Sugar Bay Barbados

Also available to book at Hotels.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, and Kayak.

Sugar Bay Barbados is an all-inclusive resort located in the central and historic Garrison district, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a prime location for shops and lively restaurants. (That is, if you ever make it off the property.) Sugar Bay sits on the south shore of the island, right along a gorgeous aqua lagoon with a protected beach and calm waters ideal for swimming.

Many of the bright and spacious 138 rooms feature beach views, and even those that don't face the ocean have spacious patios. For couples or families looking for a casual, all-inclusive resort with a tropical and contemporary feel, Sugar Bay can offer the ideal Barbados experience.

Sugar Cane Club Hotel and Spa

Also available to book at Hotels.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, and Kayak.

Whether you're childless or taking a trip to get away from your own little ones, you might be drawn to the adults-only Sugar Cane Club Hotel and Spa. Located on Barbados' West Coast, Sugar Cane Club offers a more casual and relaxed atmosphere than some of the bigger resorts, and it has options for all-inclusive or room-only rates. Even at this smaller resort (about 40 rooms in total), you will still enjoy two outdoor pools, a stellar full-service spa with outdoor treatment areas, and a tranquil, relaxing atmosphere with a reasonable price tag.

One thing to note is that the child-free policy tends to attract a slightly older crowd who come more for R&R than socializing, so if you're looking for a lively bar scene or hordes of young adults, this might not be the Barbados vacation for you.

Bougainvillea Barbados

Also available to book at Hotels.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, and Kayak.

For travelers looking for a less expensive all-inclusive resort in Barbados, the Bougainvillea Resort is a solid choice. The sister property to Sugar Bay Barbados, Bougainvillea boasts 100 spacious rooms and is known for personal touches and exceptional service. Located on a pristine white beach and filled throughout with its namesake bougainvillea flowers and colorful gardens, the resort is beautifully kept and has a lush, tropical vibe. Bougainvillea Barbados is a green hotel, certified platinum by EarthCheck, so you can rest easy that your leisurely Barbados vacation is also easy on the planet.

The House by Elegant Hotels

Also available to book at Hotels.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, Marriott, and Kayak.

A secluded getaway for adults only on Barbados' West Coast, The House by Elegant Hotels oozes luxury with chic white leather furnishings, daily champagne breakfasts, a complimentary massage for the jetlagged upon arrival, and afternoon teas followed by evening canapés — all included in the price of your stay. All suites open up to a view, either of the lush tropical garden or of the sparkling blue water. And did we mention the butler? Every guest gets one of those, too.

Around the resort, House guests get access to sports equipment both motorized (water skis) and not (kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear), plus fitness classes and bespoke activities crafted by the resort. If you ever get bored (unlikely), you can ride the complimentary water taxi off the property to explore the greater surroundings.
