Royalton CHIC Barbados

Blue Diamond Resorts, boasting the Caribbean’s most diverse portfolio of all-inclusive brands, is excited to announce its expansion into Barbados with the introduction of Royalton CHIC Barbados, a posh and vibrant adults-only all-inclusive resort set to open in Spring 2026.

Located just 30 minutes from Barbados International Airport on the island’s coveted Gold Coast, known for its tranquil Caribbean waters, this exciting new property promises to redefine the island's luxury travel scene by blending the vibrant energy of Barbados with the effervescence and exclusivity of Royalton CHIC Resorts, including the brand’s signature ‘Party Your Way’ concept—a unique approach that has quickly gained prominence in the hospitality industry.

Guests at this all-inclusive resort will experience energy and luxury from the moment they arrive. The resort will feature 220 modern suites designed with elegant touches and nods to the local culture, reflecting both privacy and sophistication. Each suite will offer either oceanfront views, swim-out access, or ocean views, with spacious balconies to enjoy the serene surroundings. Those seeking elevated indulgence can book the exclusive Diamond Club™ suite category, which provides personalized butler service, access to a private lounge, secluded areas, and premium amenities designed to enhance every aspect of their stay.

"We are thrilled to bring one of our brands to Barbados. Its people, rich culture and history, natural beauty, and privileged location fill Blue Diamond Resorts with pride as we finally incorporate this destination into our portfolio,” said Jordi Pelfort, President of Blue Diamond Resorts. “This iconic destination is the perfect location for an exciting resort like Royalton CHIC Barbados.”

Evolving from a traditional all-inclusive model, Royalton CHIC Resorts offers a unique combination of laid-back relaxation and energetic entertainment. This distinct balance of leisure and excitement has attracted a diverse array of modern travelers.

When it comes to dining, the resort will boast an impressive array of high-class venues that honor the exquisite local and international gastronomy Barbados is known for. Guests will enjoy a variety of options, including an international buffet, a specialty steakhouse, and a French-Island-Fusion restaurant. However, the showstopper will be Level 12, a dazzling rooftop bar and lounge, open to the public, inspired by the wildly popular Level 18 at Royalton CHIC Cancun. With sweeping, panoramic views, this venue is set to be the ultimate hotspot for electrifying daylife, high-energy events, and vibrant gatherings.

With its prime location, Royalton CHIC Barbados will offer guests the perfect setting to unwind in paradise while enjoying an atmosphere infused with non-stop entertainment. Whether lounging by the pool, indulging in world-class treatments at The Royal Spa, or energizing with lively Royalton FIT classes, there will always be something happening. To heighten the excitement, the brand’s signature entertainment team, the CHIC Angels, will host a dynamic lineup of events and activities designed to celebrate every moment.

“This will be the place to be for adult travelers who crave the Caribbean’s unique appeal while immersing themselves in a modern and exhilarating environment,” added Pelfort.

This innovative resort marks a significant moment for Barbados, as it will be the island's first new all-inclusive adults-only property of its kind. With its vibrant energy, luxurious amenities, and stunning beachfront location, Royalton CHIC Barbados is poised to redefine the island’s hospitality landscape and become the premier choice for adults seeking a one-of-a-kind Caribbean escape.
