Sandals Grande St. Lucian
St. Lucia
One of the best Sandals resorts for beaches is Sandals Grande St. Lucian. The island of Saint Lucia stands out as a gem in the Caribbean. Its lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and the iconic Piton Mountains create a backdrop that’s nothing short of breathtaking.
The island offers a harmonious blend of luxury and nature, ensuring couples experience both relaxation and adventure. Its rich culture, influenced by African, East Indian, French, and English heritage, adds a unique charm that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Sandals Resorts are adults-only and couples-only, so you won’t find families and kids here, but you will find a ton of things to do. In fact, the Sandals Grande St. Lucian is the biggest and most active of the Sandals locations on the island.
Beyond that, you’ll find a mile-long beach surrounding the calm and clear waters of Rodney Bay. Pair the amazing view with the iconic overwater bungalows on the property, and you’re sure to feel like you’re staying in paradise.
Sandals South Coast
Jamaica
Sandals South Coast rests on a 2-mile stretch of incredible beachfront, which we think is probably the best of all the Sandals resorts in Jamaica. This gorgeous stretch of beach is located on a 500 acre nature preserve, so you’ll feel worlds away while enjoying the paradise of Jamaica.
This resort is peaceful and private. It also has the super-luxe and romantic overwater bungalows, so this is one of the most popular Sandals resorts for honeymoons. It’s also one of the more affordable Sandals resorts.

St. Vincent and the Grenadines
The newest Sandals resort, Sandals St. Vincent is nestled in a lush valley between mountains and the ocean. The beach here is pristine and breathtaking, with soft white sand along clear blue water and plenty of lounge chairs.
You’ll enjoy a huge variety of watersports and other activities here, as well as extremely friendly service and luxurious accommodations including swim-up rooms, beachfront villas with private pools, and incredible two-story overwater villas.

Accommodations include beautiful suites with private plunge pools surrounded by tropical gardens.
Sandals Negril
Jamaica
Located on Jamaica’s famous Seven Mile Beach, you’ll love the beautiful white sand and aquamarine water at Sandals Negril. Lounge under a palm tree, go scuba diving, snorkeling, sailboating, wakeboarding, or any of the other included water activities on site.
Some suites include a private pool or a swim-up lagoon so you never have to get out of the water if you don’t want to. The cheapest room is the Caribbean Deluxe, located in the Paradise building.

Sandals Montego Bay
Jamaica
Sandals Montego Bay is where it all started. The first-ever Sandals Resort is set on a long stretch of pristine beach with offshore reefs that ensure calm waters. While Sandals Montego Bay opened in 1981, it has been renovated recently and feels modern and fresh; it’s still one of the most opulent resorts in Jamaica.
The sleek open-air lobby overlooks the Caribbean, many restaurants are waterfront, and there’s even an overwater bar. You don’t have to lose sight of the ocean here if you don’t want to and you can relax in the sun while enjoying the private, white sand beaches surrounding the resort.
Sandals Barbados and Sandals Royal Barbados
Both resorts are beachfront – nestled on Maxwell Beach – and guests at either resort have access to the areas and facilities at the other property. So even though you’ll end up picking just one resort, you might feel like you’re staying at both.
Let’s start with Sandals Barbados. This resort is located on the pristine Dover Beach where the Caribbean meets the Atlantic. This adult-only, all-inclusive resort caters exclusively to couples and provides an idyllic refuge to recharge and reconnect with your nearest and dearest.
Sandals Royal Barbados is located very close to Sandals Barbados. In fact, these resorts back each other, but the Sandals Royal Barbados property is located in the St. Lawrence Gap area, a vibrant and beautiful area of coastline. This resort has a high focus on luxury with many modern amenities and is a Sandals’ first in many areas, including the first rooftop pool and bar, the first 4-lane bowling alley, and the first health and wellness-inspired restaurant concepts.
Sandals Royal Barbados puts an emphasis on wellness evident through the resort’s unique health and wellness-inspired restaurant options and relaxed atmosphere.
Sandals resorts are top of the list for design, amenities, and beach access. These 7 resorts are often considered the Sandals resorts with the best beaches. Depending on what you’re looking for, you’ll find it at one of these great resorts while enjoying the sun and the sand!
