All are equipped with fans and air conditioning. As each accommodation is different, we recommend that you speak to us about which best suits your needs.

Facilities

Nature is a huge part of Castara’s appeal and the hotel is set in two acres of tropical gardens which offer excellent opportunities for bird and wildlife watching. The beach is just a few minutes’ walk away down a winding footpath and is a great spot for swimming, sunbathing or just getting to know the friendly locals. Castara Bay has a wonderful reef, teeming with life and colour, and the snorkelling here is particularly enjoyable. Castara Retreat’s Wellness Studio runs daily yoga classes, which can be booked on arrival, whilst 1:1 yoga sessions and a range of massage treatments are available on request. For those wanting to get out and about to explore the island, a wide variety of activities can be recommended, such as rainforest walks, birdwatching, diving, snorkelling, bioluminescence paddling boarding, island tours and boat trips. 

Important Information

The accommodation at Castara is located on a hillside and is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties. There is a small fee, payable locally, for the rental of sun loungers on the beach. There is a cash machine in Castara and credit cards are accepted at the hotel, but guests are advised to travel with sufficient cash for the duration of their stay.

"If you’re seeking an authentic Caribbean experience, you needn’t look further than Castara Retreats - supporting the local community is an important part of the hotel ethos and guests are encouraged to visit the bars and restaurants in the village and get to know the friendly locals."

"Castara Retreats provides a tranquil refuge for both humans and wildlife - the surrounding area is home to more than 200 species of birds, including boobies, frigate birds and osprey."

"Each of Castara’s apartments and lodges has a unique appeal, but we particularly like the one-bedroom Beachscape - it’s one of the closest to the beach and has fantastic views of Castara Bay from its private terrace."

"Be sure to watch the local fishermen haul their daily catch onto the beach, whilst stingrays gather in the shallow clear waters to catch any fish that get away."

"There’s an unexpectedly relaxed and friendly atmosphere at Sandy Lane - A-list celebrities and first-time guests receive the same warm Bajan welcome, and star treatment comes as standard from Sandy Lane’s wonderful staff. All Caribtours guests staying at Sandy Lane benefit from a complimentary VIP arrival service at Barbados airport."

"The elaborate beachside Sunday Brunch at Bajan Blue is an absolute must, as are the spectacular buffet evenings."

"Sandy Lane is a great choice for families, especially during the summer holidays when the resort offers an action-packed Summer Sports Camp for 7-16 yr olds."

"The Villa at Sandy Lane was relaunched in November 2024 and we are excited about the new look. After undergoing an extensive refurbishment, all five ensuite bedrooms and the spacious living, dining and entertaining areas have been refreshed with stunning soft furnishings. In addition, the pool and pool deck were completely redone; there’s a new pagoda style building for the ultimate in outside relaxation and lovely, newly transformed, landscaping surrounds The Villa."
