The Sandals Resort Collection

Sandals doesn't need much introduction. For decades, the company has built its identity around one part of the world: The Caribbean. And instead of trying to become everything everywhere, Sandals Resorts International has gone remarkably deep into what Caribbean travelers actually come here to do. Couples. Honeymoons. Weddings. Family vacations. Beaches. Pools. Food. Drinks. Water sports. Private villas. And the wonderful art of waking up and having absolutely no idea what anything costs because we already paid for it.

But there's an important distinction BlkTravel wants travelers to understand. Sandals Resorts International is bigger than Sandals Resorts. Sandals is the company's adults-only resort experience. Beaches takes the formula into family travel. And at the smallest, most exclusive end of the portfolio are private villa and island experiences that barely resemble the giant all-inclusive resorts most travelers associate with the Sandals name. So don't ask: “Do we like Sandals?” Ask: Which Sandals vacation are we trying to have?
