Colony Club

ile-high casuarina trees line the grand driveway to this beautiful resort, set in seven acres of landscaped gardens. On arrival, the sight of Koi Carp weaving among water lilies i n the entrance hall sets the tone for the tranquil atmosphere within.

The most sophisticated of the Elegant Hotels group, the Colony Club’s 96 rooms and suites are housed in charming whitewashed buildings with a pink gingerbread trim. Tropical furniture and wooden ceilings create a colonial feel, with tropical flowers adding a splash of Caribbean colour. Some rooms have four poster beds, while others have patios leading right to the poolside or chairs where you can sit and admire the garden’s flowers and mango trees.
With no fewer than four freshwater pools dotted among the grounds – the main one featuring a swim-up bar – it’s easy to find a quiet corner to relax in. Otherwise, head to the sandy beach for some sun worship or complimentary water sports, from sailing to water-skiing. Other active pursuits include tennis on floodlit courts or a workout in the air-conditioned fitness centre. In addition, a daily water taxi operates to the Colony Club’s sister hotels, Tamarind Cove and Crystal Cove, where guests can enjoy all the facilities and restaurants.
A trail of orchids leads to the Colony Club’s own fine dining restaurant, The Orchid Room, which offers a romantic candlelight atmosphere. In this elegant setting, the award-winning chef presents Barbadian food with French nuances, accompanied by fine wines. Alfresco dining comes at the Laguna restaurant, with its superb views over the gardens and pools to the sea beyond.
Enjoy a pre- or post-dinner drink in the Planters Cocktail Lounge and enjoy the sounds of li ve piano music, calypso or jazz, which add a special resonance to the balmy tropical evenings.

Highlight
The luxury poolside rooms are ideal for couples and honeymooners, thanks to their private location towards the rear of the hotel. The highlight of these spacious rooms is their unique patios, which spill out into rock pools, with some leading directly down to the freshwater swimming lagoons.
