Full accommodation information
Hotel information
Nestled along Barbados' sublime Platinum Coast, Colony Club a Luxury Collection Resort transcends the conventional luxury resort experience, offering a sanctuary of understated elegance and timeless Caribbean charm. The moment you step onto the property, a profound sense of serenity descends. This is not a place of ostentatious displays, but rather one of whispered luxury, where the gentle rustle of towering palm trees and the soft lapping of the sea form the primary soundtrack.
The centre-piece of the resort is a series of meandering, crystal-clear swimming pools, connected by gentle waterfalls and surrounded by lush, tropical gardens. The accommodation, housed in low-rise, coral-stone buildings, feels more like a sophisticated private estate than a hotel. Rooms and suites open onto patios or balconies, offering direct access to the fragrant gardens, the meandering pools or serene water views.
Colony Club’s true magic lies in its seamless fusion of relaxed ambiance and impeccable service. Days can be spent lounging on the soft, white-sand beach, where the turquoise waters of the Caribbean invite you for a swim, or partaking in complimentary water sports. As afternoon melts into evening, the resort transforms. The legendary Sunset Ritual unfolds, a cherished tradition where guests gather to savor a complimentary rum punch as the sky erupts in a spectacular display of color over the sea.
Dining is an integral part of the experience, from the fresh, coastal cuisine at the beachfront restaurant to the more formal, lagoon-side settings. Here, gourmet meals are enjoyed to the soothing symphony of nature. Colony Club doesn’t demand your attention; it gently earns it. It is a haven of refined tranquility, a place where the pace slows to a restorative rhythm, and the art of understated luxury is perfected.

Book yourself onto the historic Holetown walking tour or visit the rum distillery and historic plantations dotted across the island. And if you’re feeling creative, get involved in a painting class on the beach.
