Sandals' newest 'Sandals 2.0' flagships—Sandals Saint Vincent and Sandals Dunn's River—introduced two-story overwater villas, rooftop stargazing terraces, and Buccan family-style dining. See how they compare against iconic Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals Royal Curaçao.
A first for Sandals: 1,248 sq. ft. across two levels over a quiet Caribbean bay, featuring glass floor panels, an upper-level observation deck, and private boat transfers.
Book Sandals Saint Vincent if you want Sandals' newest, most luxurious suites (including Two-Story Overwater Villas in a private rainforest cove) and farm-to-table dining at Buccan. Book Sandals Grande St. Lucian for calm, postcard-perfect turquoise water on a private peninsula and single-level Over-the-Water Bungalows, or Sandals Dunn's River for an easy 10-minute transfer from Ian Fleming Airport (OCJ) and Coyaba Sky Pool Butler Rondovals.

SANDALS SAINT VINCENT • 2-STORY OVERWATER VILLA
A first for Sandals: 1,248 sq. ft. across two levels over a quiet Caribbean bay, featuring glass floor panels, an upper-level observation deck, and private boat transfers.
SANDALS DUNN'S RIVER • COYABA SKY RONDOVAL
Circular private villas with a zero-entry swim-up pool, private soaking tub, and an open-air spiral staircase leading to your own rooftop sunning and telescope deck.
SANDALS GRANDE ST. LUCIAN • OVERWATER BUNGALOW
Set over calm, glassy Rodney Bay with overwater hammocks, glass floor viewing panels, Tranquility Soaking Tubs, and 24-hour Personal Butler Elite service.
SANDALS ROYAL CURACAO • AWA SEASIDE BUNGALOW
Overlooks the Spanish Water lagoon and Caribbean Sea with a private infinity plunge pool, Butler Elite service, and a complimentary MINI Cooper to explore Curacao.
The #1 complaint from first-time visitors to St. Lucia is the 90-minute winding mountain road transfer from Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) to Rodney Bay—which our Chairman's Royal Club desk solves by arranging a 12-minute helicopter transfer or a scenic west-coast luxury catamaran ferry straight to the resort pier. By contrast, at Sandals Saint Vincent, Butler Elite guests step off their flight at Argyle International Airport (SVD) and board a private motorboat that whisks them along the lush volcanic coastline directly to the Buccament Bay dock in under 40 minutes. Moreover, Sandals Saint Vincent is the only Sandals resort featuring Two-Bedroom Butler Beachfront Villas designed specifically for two couples or adult families traveling together.
“Our clients were torn between Sandals Grande St. Lucian and Sandals Saint Vincent. We secured a Beachfront One-Bedroom Butler Villa Suite with Private Pool at Sandals Saint Vincent during a 7-7-7 window and stacked their Free Anniversary Night—saving $3,150 USD.”
