Treasure Beach, Barbados

A secluded gem on the sought-after Platinum West Coast of Barbados, this adults-only retreat is certainly one for the romantics. Centred around an inviting pool, suites come with private balconies or patios, while upgrades add in sweeping beach views and your own private plunge pool, perfect for honeymooning couples. And, for that extra slice of romance you can catch a classic film under the stars.

With the work of local artists adorning the walls of its sleek modern rooms and complimentary tours introducing guests to the island’s art galleries and museums, Treasure Beach is a resort for those looking to immerse themselves in Bajan culture without compromising on luxury. What’s more, the early morning Paynes Bay Beach Walks provide an ideal opportunity for guests to take postcard-perfect pictures of stunning Caribbean scenery.

Dining at Treasure Beach is an a la carte affair. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served in Tapestry ­– the resort’s on-site restaurant – and feature seasonally inspired menus as well as a continental buffet at breakfast. Their award-winning chef is even willing to share his expertise through culinary experience classes that provide guests with the opportunity to learn the art of both food styling and pastry making.

As night falls, guests can either savour the warm Barbadian evenings at the Batik Bar or opt for the cosiness of the Wine Cellar. Both offer an extensive drinks selection including artisanal cocktails crafted by expert mixologists.
