 Waves Hotel & Spa by Elegant Hotels 

Barbados’ first all-inclusive wellness hotel

Relax and re-energise at this boutique wellness retreat, divided into adults-only and family-friendly sections.

Split into two sides, this all-inclusive spa retreat caters to couples as well as kids. Oceanside is home to family-friendly rooms and a pool with cabanas and day beds, while the adults-only area sits across the road with a spa, serenity pool and yoga pavilion. All guests get complimentary spa treatments, and there are various other activities included – from art classes and cooking demos to watersports lessons at the Aqua School. Dig your toes into the sand and let the Pool and Beach ambassadors wait on you; this is your time to unwind.

Why we love Waves Hotel & Spa by Elegant Hotels

  • Guests get complimentary spa treatments (up to four per person, depending on room category and length of stay)

  • All motorised and non-motorised watersports are included, from water skiing to kayaking, and the Aqua School offers free lessons

  • The resort caters to both families and couples, with a separate adult-only section for those seeking extra peace and quiet.

  • It’s ideally located on Barbados’ west coast, overlooking a sandy beach in Prospect Bay and 15 minutes from capital Bridgetown.
