All Sandals resorts are located on beautiful beaches, but the shorelines at Sandals Emerald Bay, Sandals Grande Antigua, Sandals Negril, Sandals Grande St. Lucian, and Sandals Montego Bay are among the best in the world.


1. Sandals Emerald Bay in Exuma, The Bahamas

You simply can't beat Exuma, Bahamas when it comes to powdery white-sand beaches, calm turquoise waters, wooden swings, and pure bliss! The water is so blue, you won't believe your own eyes! The beach at Sandals Emerald Bay is gorgeous, private, and gives you ample space to find a good spot.

Did you know?: Seven Mile Beach is technically four miles long, with the remaining three miles of this shoreline, an area known as Bloody Bay, being just as breathtaking. A two-for-one beach in gorgeous Negril? What could be better?



4. Sandals Grande St. Lucian in Saint Lucia

Amazing views, calm waters, pristine shores, and lots to explore. The lush island of Saint Lucia is easily recognized by its twin mountains, the Pitons, but the beaches are also a defining feature. As a guest of Sandals Grande St. Lucian, you can enjoy the picturesque beach at the property whenever you desire, and also discover new beaches nearby, like those on Pigeon Island.

6. Sandals South Coast in Jamaica

A long beach that’s perfect for a romantic walk along the shores. The beach at Sandals South Coast (and the rest of the resort) is part of a private nature reserve. As a result, the ocean bottom can be quite rocky (bring water shoes!), but there are plenty of areas where you’ll find a sandy spot to float around. There's also lots to explore when snorkeling offshore.

7. Sandals Barbados / Sandals Royal Barbados

Pristine white sand beach. Although there’s a rock barrier to protect the shores, you shouldn’t expect the waters to be perfectly calm at all times. This is the perfect beach to sip on a cocktail and listen to the calming sound of the waves.

Bonus: Sandals Barefoot Cay in The Bahamas

Right off the coast at Sandals Royal Bahamian, Sandals guests have access to a private offshore island named Sandals Barefoot Cay. The beach on the back of the island is a great spot to go on a snorkeling adventure. Guests often report turtle sightings.
