Situated on the finest stretch of Barbados’ Platinum (West) Coast, Colony Club is a timeless retreat restored from a former private Colonial Club. Its sophisticated ambiance extends to all 96 tastefully appointed guestrooms and suites. Four lagoon style swimming pools meander through seven acres of tropical, palm-filled gardens. Its location is just 40 minutes from Grantley Adams International Airport and 20 minutes from Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados.
It also has a modern, beachfront character too, with rooms angled to look over the meandering pool (with its swim-up bar) to the sea. Some of the 96 rooms and suites, which are stylish and very comfortable, have steps straight down into the pool from their patios. For all the air of long-established Bajan refinement (it is quite a social place and also makes a fine setting for a Barbados wedding), the hotel is actually quite informal and leisurely. There is good activity on property - entertainment and watersports are right there.
