So if you too have been blessed with the opportunity to experience a luxury vacation in Barbados let us see what this island has in store for you.....

Which Coast Is The Most Popular For A Barbados Luxury Vacation?

When planning a luxury vacation in Barbados visitors tend to choose The Platinum West Coast. This coast has the most beatuiful blue lagoon waters, powder-white sandy beaches and the most lavish amenities. This is Barbados' premier coast failing to disappoint and keeping the rich longing for more.

However the south coast of Barbados should not be ruled out as an option as it does have a handful of popular luxury hotels including The Crane Resort and The Hilton Barbados Hotel.

Climb Aboard Your Private Jet

A great start to any Barbados luxury vacation is a top class plane ride to the island. The best way to experience this is aboard a private jet charter flight.

Barbados private jet charter flights are definitely the most comfortable way to travel to Barbados. These private jets are spacious with leather seats and a friendly crew to serve you.

They also provide you with peace of mind.

You won't have to worry about a commercial airline losing your luggage as they tend to do these days. Your bags will be the only bags aboard your private jet. You also won't have to worry about that annoyingly long wait for your luggage to be taken off the aircraft and placed on the bagagge claim conveyor belt.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to own a private jet to fly to Barbados in one. You can simply rent one.There are a number of private jet chartering companies with a fleet of luxury aircrafts that you can arrange this through.

Whiz Through The Airport!

Now that you have safely arrived in luxurious comfort and style aboard your private charter jet why wait hours to get through customs and immigration in the airport?

You want to get your Barbados luxury vacation started as soon as possible!

Now the fastest way to get out of the airport is by using a Barbados luxury concierge service. This can usually be arranged through your private charter flight company or an independent local service.

Through such a service, a representative will meet you in the arrivals terminal and escort you and your family through immigration. This will mean you won't have to wait in line like everyone else.

You will then collect your luggage, which will only take a minute or two since you took a private jet, and be escorted through customs and out of the airport.

Sounds pretty sweet doesn't it?

You can also use a concierge service at the end of your Barbados luxury vacation for a relaxing departure back home from the island.

Off To Your Barbados Luxury Accomodation in Style

Now that you have made it to Barbados safe and sound and you have been escorted through the airport arrivals with your bags in hand, it is time to head off to your Barbados luxury accommodation.

You have two choices here. You can either arrange an exclusive Barbados luxury limosuine / car to pick you up or have your Barbados luxury rental car waiting for you outside the airport.

If you choose to be chauffeured to your accommodation by luxury airport pickup, you can have a concierge service arrange it. If you prefer to drive yourself and want to have a vehicle during your stay you can book your luxury rental car and have it ready when you arrive.

I Want To Stay Where The Rich And Famous Stay!

I consider the most important part of a luxury vacation in Barbados to be where you choose to stay. No matter where you are travelling too if you choose the wrong place to stay your vacation could be very far from luxurious. You therefore are going to want to stay at either a respected luxury Barbados hotel or Barbados luxury vacation villa.

When choosing a luxury hotel in Barbados , some of you may want to stay where the wealthy do for their Barbados luxury vacation.

Well as you know most stars choose world famous, exclusive Barbados luxury hotels and there is no other luxury hotel on the island that keeps Barbados in the spot light of the rich and famous like The Sandy Lane Barbados Spa and Golf Resort.

The Sandy Lane Hotel is undoubtedly the #1 choice by the wealthiest vacationers the island has been honoured to entertain.

This luxury resort is featured in almost every Caribbean luxury travel magazine and has hosted the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt as well as David Bechkam and Posh Spice.

But the most notable visit this Barbados luxury resort has seen was in Ocober of 2004. This was when world champion golfer Tiger Woods decided to book the entire resort for his wedding to swedish model Elin Nordegren!

The Sandy Lane Hotel is a 5 Diamond AAA rated Barbados hotel and currently is the most expensive hotel on the island averaging rates of $1,200 USD a night and up.

The luxury hotel has a spa, 4 restuarants and 5 bars. It also has 3 golf courses including the famous Green Monkey Golf Course and The Country Club Course, where the 2006 Golf World Championship was hosted.

There are a number of other Barbados luxury resorts along The Platinum west coast of the island that you could choose from to enjoy your Barbados luxury vacation.

The most noteable of these are owned by British multi-millionaire hotelier Michael Pemberton. Michael has established himself in Barbados as one of the greatest investors in the island's Tourism industry. He has a collection of Barbados luxury hotels under his belt.

These include The Fairmont Royal Pavilion Hotel. This is a convenient choice if you are a member of The Fairmont President's Club.
The Royal Pavilion is a 4 Diamond AAA rated Barbados luxury resort with 72 oceanfront guest rooms feauturing private balconies and terraces.

This luxury hotel has 2 restaurants with oceanviews and offers guest complimentary afternoon tea at the poolside. Royal Westmoreland Championship Golf Course is nearby where guests can book tee off times through the hotel. This is one of the island's premier 18 hole golf courses at par 72 and 6,870 yards.

One downside of The Royal Pavilion Hotel as compared to Sandy Lane Hotel is that there is no on site spa.

If you do decide to stay on the south coast of the island, The Crane Hotel is the top choice for a south coast Barbados luxury vacation.

The Crane Hotel is a 5 star Barbados luxury resort set atop a cliff overlooking the ocean and sandy white Crane beach. This Barbados luxury hotel is situated at the southern tip of the island.

The hotel has a great design resembling a large, majestic castle with its tall Roman style columns.

You can choose between the resort's 1887 Resort Apartments or its Private Residences. If you want the ultimate in Barbados luxury the private residences are the choice for you.

These oceanview private residences come with handcrafted mahogany furniture, four poster king size beds, multi head spa showers, private jacuzzis, marble bathrooms and much more.

However the most amazing feature of these residences are their private plunge pools.

These plunge pools are located in the towers of the luxury resort and provide you with a romantic lookout over the cliff top into the ocean.

But remember, you need to book one of the upstairs two-bedroom private residences to enjoy a private tower plunge pool at The Crane. This makes a great choice for enjoying a romantic luxury Barbados vacation.

Last, but not the least, I would like to mention The Hilton Barbados Hotel.

The Hilton Hotel chain has established itself as top notch in the luxury hotel industry.

The Hilton Hotel in Barbados is a 5 star beachfront Barbados luxury resort located at one of the most beautiful beach points on the island's south coast.

This hotel is great for families wanting to experience a Barbados luxury vacation with their kids.

The hotel has all of the ameneties and services that the Hilton chain is known for such as spa treatments, oceanview dinning, waterfalls and an infinity pool.

But it also has a Kidz Paradise Club offering baby sitting services so you and your hubbie can get away when you need too.

The most luxurious rooms at this Barbados luxury hotel are The Suites. These guest rooms offer a separate living room area, 2 separate bathrooms and 2 balconies.

The master bedroom has a separate private balacony while its bathroom has a a Jacuzzi tub.

So if you are looking to enjoy Barbados luxury with the kids, while keeping it a tad cheaper by not staying on the island's Platinum West Coast, don't rule out The Hilton Barbados.

So those are 4 of the best luxury resorts in Barbados that you can spend your Barbados luxury vacation relaxing at. However there are a handful of other smaller Barbados luxury hotels you can choose from along both the west coast and south coast of the island.
