Accommodation
A romantic hideaway nestled amongst swaying palms and vibrant tropical gardens, The Fairmont Royal Pavilion, Barbados is ideal for couples seeking a quiet yet sophisticated sanctuary. The feeling at this luxury retreat is one of being a privileged guest in a private home, where colonial charm blends seamlessly with the modern comforts expected of an exclusive resort. The real draw here is the accommodation – the hotel is one of few in Barbados with rooms offering direct beach access. Step straight from your Beachfront Junior Suite onto the sand for a sunrise swim in front of your terrace or enjoy uninterrupted sea views from the glass-fronted balcony of your Oceanfront Room. Dining at Taboras restaurant is an unpredictable venture, with menus changing on a daily basis; regular evening entertainment is presented by local artists and the popular Sunday Brunch is accompanied by the lilt of steel pans. For romantic dining, reserve a top table at the acclaimed Palm Terrace Restaurant and savour haute cuisine and enviable sunset views. Relaxing days on the golden sand beach are enlivened by sets of tennis on floodlit courts, a few laps of the large freshwater pool, complimentary non-motorised watersports in the warm Caribbean Sea or a daily swim with turtles from the shore.
The Fairmont Royal Pavilion is located within close proximity to Lone Star, one of Barbados's most renowned restaurants and now also a boutique hotel. After your meal, head to nearby JuJu's bar for a laid-back vibe and an ice-cold sunset beer.
For interrupted bliss, indulge in a private spa treatment in the comfort of your own guestroom. A number of reenergising and relaxing treatments are available for your pleasure, including aromatherapy sessions, soothing body massages, skin care holistic treatments and energy balancing with crystals. Continue the pampering at the prestigious Sass Beauty Salon, where you can make the most of the professional makeup, hairdressing and manicure services.
If you enjoy the British tradition of Afternoon Tea, then make sure you head to Taboras Restaurant to enjoy an elegant selection of baked scones with jam, butter and cream, cakes, biscuits and pastries; all washed down with a refreshing pot of the finest English tea. We recommend the Darjeeling.
Surrounded by lush vegetation, the tennis courts at The Fairmont Royal Pavilion are open for all guests from morning to night, on a complimentary basis. Play with family and friends at a leisurely pace or take advantage of dedicated tennis lessons with the hotel’s tennis professional. Please note that reservations are required.
Characterised by warm, generally dry days, visitors can fully enjoy the sweet, slow rhythm of Barbadian life during the peak months between January and April. Although prices are at their highest, tourists are guaranteed sun kissed days, which is perfect for making the most of the water sports and attractions to discover.
