Fairmont Royal Pavilion, Barbados

The 75 well-appointed rooms and suites all offer breath taking unobstructed ocean views of the glittering Caribbean Sea through clear glass balconies. The sunsets simply fill the sky! The Beachfront Suites are our favourite at Turquoise offering butler service and redefining the phrase ‘steps from the beach’. For elevated views of the beach and sea, opt for the Luxury Oceanfront Room positioned on the third floor. Personalised service and luxury amenities create a calm and indulgent retreat for guests at Fairmont Royal Pavilion.

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. Palm Terrace is Fairmont Royal Pavilion’s fine dining restaurant serving tantalising gastronomy. With panoramic sea views, guests will not only enjoy locally inspired fare, but they will also love the beautiful, picturesque location! Live entertainment is also available a few times a week.

For those who prefer to dine out, a fleet of restaurants and bars in nearby Holetown are only a short taxi ride away – it is well worth venturing out to experience Barbados’ varied and delicious food scene.

With two tennis courts, a beautiful swimming pool and an abundance of complimentary non-motorised water sports, including hobie cat sailboats, windsurfers, and kayaks as well as snorkelling with turtles in the bay, you’ll be spoilt for choice of activities. The hotel also has a fitness centre that is open 24 hours a day. 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!

Children can while away the day on one of the best beaches in Barbados at Fairmont Royal Pavilion. With a raft to swim out to and the softest sand to build their sandcastles with, what more could you ask for! The open plan Beachfront Suites are perfect for two adults and up to two children, or older families can benefit from interconnecting Luxury Oceanfront Rooms. With a variety of water sports on offer, a kids activities program available during school holidays, and snorkelling with resident turtles in the bay, families will have plenty to enjoy. Babysitting services are also available.
