Barbados - The Silver Sands Resort

 

On the Beach

Silver Sands Resort is located on the beach with a semi-private beach area. The beach of white coral sand is wide and deep, stretching for miles along the coast and sloping to the clear blue ocean waters.

During the winter months, the shifting patterns of the trade winds off the coast of Silver Sands create unique conditions for Windsurfing and Silver Sands is internationally recognized as a world class center for this sport.

Beautifully Landscaped Gardens

This Resort is spread over twelve acres of well-maintained gardens.
As you walk through the lobby, pass the water-fountain, you enter the spacious front garden facing the swimming pool, beyond which leads you to the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean ocean.

Mature coconuts, white cedar and casuarina trees, along with tropical palms, bougainvillaea and croton shrubs make way for a glorious informal sea-side setting.
