Situated on one of the best beaches of the famed West Coast of Barbados, this vibrant and friendly hotel offers a whole range of facilities facilities that cater for everyone, especially those travelling with families.
Tamarind’s architecture has a subtle Mediterranean twist, with its eye-catching red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls. This distinctive setting is complimented by verdant, tropical gardens that will give you a scent of hibiscus and bougainvillea as you stroll through them to the beach.

This heavenly stretch of sand is fringed with azure waters accompanied by the hushing rise and fall of the gentle tides. Three picture-perfect freshwater swimming pools, give you plenty of options when it comes to taking a dip.
If you’d like to work up a sweat while catching some sun, you can take to the water by boat, waterski, or capture a unique view of the island’s underwater world while you snorkel. The fitness centre and gym give you alternatives if you’d rather stay ashore, or simply unwind in style in a serene setting. What's more, with the Elegant benefits of dine around programme, west coast water taxi, bespoke tours and beach & pool Ambassadors, your enjoyment is assured.
