This All-Inclusive Resort Just Might Be the Best-Kept Secret in Barbados 

By: Alexander Britell - September 1, 2024

One day you may be taking a journey through Barbados’ most impressive local spirits. Another, you’re hanging on a zip line at the island’s famous caves. Or maybe you’re enjoying a round of golf at one of the island’s championship courses. 

Here at The Club, Barbados, you’re in the perfect location to enjoy all of Barbados’ most fascinating adventures. But the longer you stay here, the more difficult you find it to want to leave the resort. 

This just might be the best-kept secret in Barbados. A complete, full-service all-inclusive tucked away in one of the most plum perches on Barbados’ Platinum Coast, an adults-only sanctuary with an emphasis on the thing travelers seem to want most these days: activity.

It’s miles away from the stresses of everyday life.

You can do everything right here at the resort, whether you’re taking out a Hobie Cat, exploring the undersea life right offshore, taking a dip in the trio of pools, or enjoying one of the island’s top gyms. 

You can also do nothing and let someone else pamper you: the Tranquility Spa has a full menu of treatments, from “cocoons” to wraps to a hydrotherapy circuit. 

The dining is anchored by Sunset, set right on the water with three meals a day and an international focus. Then there’s Enid’s, the eatery that’s all about the islands local fare. In the evening, it’s the Piano Bar that’s the destination, where a cocktail goes very well with a perfectly-timed request.

Or you can head for the Rum Shop, modeled on the myriad such establishments that you can find all over Barbados, where the emphasis is local spirits and energetic conversation. 

It’s a marvelously run, authentic, truly local hospitality experience, where you have more than everything you want but never forget where you are.

Barbados has been working to attract more American visitors in recent years, with much of the island’s tourism dominated by travelers from the United Kingdom — for whom Barbados has always been a far more powerful travel buzz word.

But it’s resorts like this one — with serious all-inclusive pedigree, without pretension, that are precisely the solution. Here you get all of the Platinum Coast’s beauty, serenity and magic in a trusted, expert, accessible package. 

After a few days at this resort, you realize it’s a rather aptly named property: it feels like you’ve discovered your own private club in Barbados. 

Why would you ever want to leave?
