Boutique hotels in Barbados are not as numbered as the hotels, apartments  or luxury villas on the island but they sure do hold their own when it comes to quality service and repeat visitors. With most of these hotels opening up to beachfront views, this alone lends itself easily to the creation of the ideal ambience.

Along with all the amenities that boutique hotels in Barbados offer, it is safe to say that the experience is comparable with that of the larger hotels on the island as they do function within the capacity of being a hotel but on a smaller scale.

One such boutique hotel in Barbados is Sugar Cane Club Hotel and Spa. Nestled graciously on the exotic West Coast of Barbados, this boutique hotel enjoys a prime location in a secluded setting and tranquil tropical ambiance. Sugar Cane Club Hotel and Spa boasts accommodation of forty (40) one-bedroom, two (2) two-bedroom suites and one (1) private villa all with cosy living rooms and fully equipped kitchenettes to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The accommodations have breathtaking views of the exotic flora and fauna and many have a view of the Barbados coastline.

Another such boutique hotel in Barbados is Little Arches, which was built in a Mediterranean architectural style unique to Barbados. Nestled on a hideaway bay with trappings of ten (10) well-appointed rooms and suites, this intimate property has upscale facilities of internationally acclaimed dining and a championship golf course at Barbados Golf Club.

The island of Barbados offers a lot in the way of accommodation. As your comfort is of upmost importance to us, there is therefore no end to personalised service on the island at our boutique hotels as they offer you a different style of vacationing along with intimate, luxurious settings and pristine amenities. Of course, boutique hotels throughout Barbados are not just for the purpose of having a vacation but can also be utilised for the purposes of honeymoons or business meetings. Car rentals or tours are also available through boutique hotels in Barbados.
