Discover a realm of refined elegance at Sandals Royal Caribbean, where British colonial grandeur meets Caribbean soul in Montego Bay. This extraordinary all-inclusive resort features not only a magnificent beachfront property but also its own private offshore island, creating two distinct experiences in one unforgettable destination. From overwater bungalows to beachfront suites, every moment here is designed to exceed the expectations of the most discerning travelers.
Two Resorts in One Paradise
Sandals Royal Caribbean offers a unique dual-resort experience that sets it apart from any other property in Jamaica. The mainland resort exudes British colonial elegance with its Georgian-style architecture, manicured gardens, and sophisticated ambiance. Just a two-minute boat ride away lies the private island, a tropical paradise featuring pristine beaches, overwater bungalows, and an authentic Thai restaurant transported piece by piece from Indonesia.
This innovative concept allows guests to enjoy the best of both worlds – the energy and amenities of the main resort combined with the secluded tranquility of a private island. Regular boat service operates throughout the day and evening, making it easy to explore both properties and discover your favorite spots, whether it’s a hidden beach cove or a lively swim-up bar.
Overwater Luxury and Beachfront Elegance
Five-Star Global Cuisine
With eight restaurants spanning both the mainland and private island, Sandals Royal Caribbean takes guests on a culinary journey around the world. Royal Thai, the resort’s signature restaurant on the private island, serves authentic Thai cuisine in a stunning pavilion setting. The structure was handcrafted in Thailand and reassembled on the island, creating an atmosphere that transports diners to Southeast Asia.
On the mainland, Spices offers beachfront dining with Caribbean fusion cuisine, while Le Jardin provides French culinary excellence in an elegant garden setting. Soy Sushi Bar brings contemporary Japanese cuisine to the Caribbean, and Kanoo showcases international favorites in an open-air pavilion. Each restaurant maintains Sandals’ high standards with premium ingredients, skilled chefs, and impeccable service, all included without reservations or additional charges.
The Private Island Experience
The private offshore island at Sandals Royal Caribbean offers an exclusive escape within an escape. This intimate paradise features pristine beaches, a beach bar, pool with swim-up bar, and hammocks strung between palm trees for ultimate relaxation. The island’s beaches offer different experiences – from the lively pool area to secluded coves perfect for romantic moments.
Water sports enthusiasts can launch kayaks and paddleboards directly from the island’s beaches, while snorkelers can explore the surrounding coral reefs. The island also features private cabanas available for day rental, offering an even more exclusive experience with dedicated service, premium amenities, and unparalleled privacy.
Red Lane Spa and Wellness
The Red Lane Spa at Sandals Royal Caribbean provides a comprehensive wellness experience inspired by Caribbean traditions and international techniques. The spa features treatment rooms for singles and couples, offering everything from traditional Swedish massages to innovative body treatments using indigenous ingredients.

Beyond traditional spa services, the resort offers fitness facilities with state-of-the-art equipment, yoga classes on the beach, and water fitness sessions.
