The Fairmont Royal Pavilion Barbados

Hidden away beneath swaying palms in a sun-drenched Caribbean cove, The Fairmont Royal Pavilion specializes in sophisticated beach getaways with a proper British accent on Barbados. Each of the 72 luxury guest rooms on the 11-acre estate features a private balcony overlooking pink-tinted sands and turquoise waters. During high season (November through April), the AAA four-diamond hotel hosts couples only, with children under 13 prohibited.

Business meetings take on an island vibe at The Fairmont Royal Pavilion, with its mix of private meeting and dining rooms, pool deck, and beachside locations from which to choose. Although water sports top the list of incentives, the nearby Royal Westmoreland Golf Course guarantees a well-rounded retreat. Alfresco dining at The Palm Terrace comes with a spectacular Caribbean sunset.
