Fairmont Royal Pavilion, Barbados

48 Deluxe Oceanfront Rooms – now with clear glass balconies – offer unobstructed views of the glittering Caribbean Sea, while 24 stylish Beachfront Junior Suites, complete with butler service, redefine the phrase ‘steps from the beach’.

Elegantly implemented and retaining the property’s authenticity, all the public areas have been refurbished and have been affectionately made anew. A welcoming staff, exceptional cuisine and an array of leisure facilities, make this resort perfect for romantic getaways, memorable celebrations and unforgettable family holidays.

Guests can enjoy delicious meals in one of the two restaurants. Taboras is a superb open-air, bistro style eatery, with a casual feel and relaxed atmosphere. Located next to the pool and close to the beach, the setting is simply glorious! Offering guests breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as complimentary afternoon tea served on the terrace, the menus are a perfect combination of Caribbean and international dishes. Guests can enjoy themed nights here, such as a Taste of Italy and Thai Night! Palm Terrace is the hotel’s recently refurbished fine dining restaurant serving new menus created by Chef Kirk Kirton. With panoramic sea views, visitors will not only enjoy locally inspired fare, they will also love the beautiful picturesque location!

With two tennis courts, an abundance of complimentary watersports, including hobie cat sailboats, windsurfers and kayaks, and a fitness centre that is open 24 hours a day, there need never be a quiet moment during a stay here! If relaxation is required, why not hit the stunning stretch of beach with a good book, or treat yourself to a superb in-room spa experience? Choose from an invigorating massage, a relaxing facial or a cleansing body scrub… whatever takes your fancy!
