Call us for prices & availability

Overview

Set on a 750-foot crescent of pure white sand beach, the Tamarind is your own luxurious haven on the West Coast of Barbados. Vacations here are everything you could hope for, whether you’re planning a couples retreat or a fun-filled family getaway. The rooms and suites are contemporary and spacious, with a choice of stunning views. The three expansive pools provide the perfect place to soak up the Bajan sunshine and we love the tranquil spa – the perfect place to unwind and indulge.

You can rest assured that the kids will be kept entertained with the addition of the Club Tamarind and the Flying Fish Kids Club. There’s also a wealth of fun attractions dotted along the Platinum Coast, which are easily reached from the resort, so why not explore the area? If you’re craving a bite to eat, head to one of the three restaurants serving authentic Caribbean or international dishes, or sip cocktails in the outdoor lounge.

Top tip: Situated on the beach, water sports are in abundance here, so why not test out your windsurfing skills or explore the marine life with a spot of snorkeling?
