 Fairmont Royal Pavilion 

A timeless spot in the heart of St James

This elegant beachfront hotel has wonderful oceanfront dining and spacious accommodation spread across rooms, suites and villas.

Pastel-pink architecture framed by towering palm trees characterise this award-winning, colonial-style hotel, set among 11 acres of tropical gardens. Spend your time lazing on the powdery sand, keep an eye out for mischievous green monkeys clambering in the fig trees, or choose a book from the hotel’s library and relax in your own private spot. The emphasis is on unwinding here, with superb dining and local musicians playing under the stars each night.

Why we love Fairmont Royal Pavilion

  • The resort sits on an idyllic beach lapped by turquoise water in the heart of St James, close to historic Holetown.

  • Accommodation is spacious and elegantly designed, ranging from Oceanfront Rooms to a lavish Three Bedroom Villa.

  • Guests get various complimentary perks, including Platinum Fast Track service through the airport (excluding those staying in the Luxury Oceanfront Rooms), all non-motorised watersports and a weekly Manager's Cocktail Party. Some room types add in daily afternoon tea, private airport transfers and butler service.

  • The oceanfront dining is great, with regular live music taking place as the waves lap the shore.
