Sandals Royal Plantation, Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Offering just 74 ocean-view suites, this stunning beach resort puts a premium on privacy. Each of the enclave's suites comes with a private butler devoted to your comfort, and oversized patios and balconies invite eating out-of-doors. For couples who care to venture outside their rooms, five world-class restaurants offering international flavors await. You also have your choice of two of the island's most beautiful beaches.
Sandals Emerald Bay, Great Exhuma, Bahamas
Situated on a mile-long white-sand beach in the storied Exhumas, this adults-only resort offers plenty of excitement for couples. PADI-Certified SCUBA diving, professional instruction in water sports, snorkeling, and kayaking are all available, as is day- and nighttime entertainment. An award-winning on-site golf course offers additional amusement, while three beautiful pools allow for plenty of sun-drenched lounging.
Sandals Grande St. Lucian, Gros-Islet, Saint Lucia
One of our favorite draws for this St. Lucian estate is the over-the-water Tahitian-style bungalows that boast glass floor panels, outdoor showers, over-water hammocks, and elite butler service. An oceanfront Presidential Suite offers 2,199 square feet of interior space along with an expansive veranda. Unlimited fine dining at 12 restaurants, exchange privileges at two nearby Sandals Resorts (including roundtrip shuttle service), and unlimited house wines, premium liquors, and gourmet coffee round out the offerings.

The newest resort in the Sandals portfolio is lush with exclusive amenities. A bowling alley, rooftop pool and donut shop constitute some of the "firsts" offered, while a series of all-suite accommodations lavish guests with luxury. Private pools, outdoor soaking tubs, and swim-up access are just a few of the extravagant features available. Guests enjoy access to the nearby Sandals Barbados Resort, adding a bevy of restaurants and beaches to the premium offerings at the Royal.
