Overview of Sandals Destinations
Sandals Resorts is a luxury, adults-only, all-inclusive resort brand focused on couples, with properties located exclusively across the Caribbean. Founded in 1981 in Jamaica, the company has grown to operate 17 resorts across 8 island destinations.
What makes Sandals distinctive is its “Luxury Included” concept, which bundles accommodations, gourmet dining, premium drinks, water sports (including scuba diving), entertainment, and airport transfers into one price.
Each destination offers a different vibe—some are lively and social, others quiet and romantic—so choosing the right island is often more important than choosing the resort itself. Sandals locations span:
