Sandals Resorts International (SRI) has unveiled more details about the multi-million dollar renovation of the all-inclusive Sandals Royal Bahamian, which is set to reopen on 27JAN 2022.
The resort, set in Nassau, the Bahamas, is being upgraded with modern design and new features, which include celebrations of local Bahamian lifestyle.
“We’re dialing up the luxury and leaning into the easy-going spirit of The Bahamas to deliver an incredible and authentic experience that as we like to say, makes love come easy,” said SRI Executive Chairman Adam Stewart.
“From an entirely new village of pastel-colored private villas and Coconut Grove, our innovative new outdoor lounge & entertainment area to our offshore island that has been transformed to a romantic hideaway, every moment, every point of guest touch and experience embodies this beautiful destination.”
According to Stewart, plans for the reimagined Sandals Royal Bahamian have been in the works for nearly three years and are part of a much larger strategy across the organization to reflect the resorts' Caribbean destinations in terms of design, product offerings and service.
According to Sandals, the renovated Sandals Royal Bahamian will feature:
All-New Suites & Island Village
Sandals Royal Bahamian has added accommodation options with river suites in the newly named East & West Bays, over 200 fully renovated rooms and suites and the all-new Island Village.
