If you’re looking for a balance between desert island escapism and a comfortable base, Palm Island has the perfect recipe. The resort has some of the most glorious white-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters that we’ve seen, and our clients often comment that this is exactly what they had imagined the Caribbean to be. The peace and seclusion is accentuated by the fact that all the guest rooms are scattered across the island, offering even greater privacy and tranquillity.

Accessed by air from both Barbados and Saint Lucia to Union Island, followed by an 8-minute boat ride to the resort.

On a 135-acre private tropical island.

There are 43 air-conditioned rooms, suites and villas. Palm View Rooms are located in the gardens, set back from the beach, and have a king size bed, mini fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, bathroom with a bath and separate shower, terrace and a garden view. The Beachfront Rooms have a shower only and overlook the beach, whilst the Superior Beachfront Rooms have direct access to the beach with a day bed and outdoor shower. The larger Island Loft Rooms are raised up on stilts and have vaulted ceilings, whilst the spacious Sea Grape Suites boast a large living area with sofa bed, and are housed in two-storey buildings close to the beach. The two-bedroom Southern Cross Villa is set up on a bluff and has a private infinity pool and stunning ocean views, whilst the three-bedroom Sea Feathers Villa is steps away from the beach with contemporary interiors and shady external areas. Both villas have the convenience of a golf cart to get around the resort.

Royal Palm Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an open-air pavilion overlooking the beach whilst the refurbished Sunset Restaurant and Bar is right on the sand and offers a lovely, informal setting for lunch and dinner.
