Turtle Beach by Elegant Hotels

Turtle Beach, an all-inclusive retreat on Barbados' vibrant south coast, pulses with contemporary Bajan warmth, offering a soulful escape where a 1,500-foot Dover Beach hums with sea turtle nesting grounds.

The 161 suites glow with modern tropical style, featuring air-conditioned comfort, flat-screen cable TVs, mini-fridges, minibars, and private bathrooms with showers, hairdryers, and premium toiletries. Private balconies or patios open to ocean, pool, or garden views, crafting an intimate haven for couples or families. Two freshwater pools, a kids' splash pool, a whirlpool, and complimentary Wi-Fi create a connected yet tranquil setting.

Five dining venues ignite the senses. Chelonia serves international buffets with themed nights and fresh starfruit breakfasts, while Asiago's crafts refined Italian dinners. Sand Trap offers beachfront Caribbean and Mediterranean fare, Half Moon Coffee Bar & Deli provides snacks, and Freeze tempts with ice cream sundaes. Three bars pour cocktails, wines, and local beers, paired with live calypso or cultural shows, with the Taste of Elegance Dine Around Programme unlocking sister resort venues.

The spa soothes with coconut-infused massages and facials in a breezy setting, while a 24-hour fitness centre, floodlit tennis courts, and beach volleyball keep energy high. Complimentary boogie boarding, kayaking, and hobie cat sailing, with aqua school lessons, spark adventure. Concierge-led mixology classes or tours to Bridgetown's markets weave in Barbados' lively spirit.

Situated steps from Dover Beach, three minutes from St. Lawrence Gap, 8 km from Bridgetown, and 10.1 km from Grantley Adams International Airport, Turtle Beach offers free parking and seamless access to Barbados' coastal gems. This intimate retreat balances relaxed comfort with the vibrant rhythm of the island's soul.
