Sandals Is Planning Overwater Villas Around the Caribbean

After debuting the Caribbean’s first-ever Over-the-Water Villas at Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay, Sandals Resorts has even bigger plans.

(Caribbean Journal got the first look at the villas — check out our video tour above).

The new bungalows made their debut Dec. 1, but they’re just the first of many around the Caribbean, according to the company.

On Monday, Sandals announced the development of additional Over-the-Water suites at new locations throughout the region, although it did not give specific resort locations yet.

Citing “unparalleled demand” and a drive toward continued innovation, the suites will be unveiled at select Sandals resorts throughout 2017 and 2018.

That’s along with the addition of 12 more Over-the-Water Bungalows at Sandals Royal Caribbean slated to open in March 2017.

“I have always said that being out on the water is where I am happiest, and with these suites, guests can experience a direct link to the Caribbean Sea,” said Gordon ‘Butch’ Stewart, Chairman and Founder of Sandals Resorts. “Being first is nice, and as a category leader we’ve enjoyed a lot of firsts – but what is more important is that we continue to evolve, continue to innovate, continue to upend the notion of what an all-inclusive can be and of course, continue to exceed the expectation of our guests.”
