Barbados’ West Coast is known for its beautiful beaches and calm, clear waters. It’s here you’ll find two exceptional all-inclusive resorts that each bring something special to your island retreat. Read on to hear how…
A canvas for creativity
Treasure Beach Art Hotel, Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort is an intimate, adults-only boutique hotel set beside the sand on Barbados’ Platinum Coast. With only 35 stylish one-bedroom suites, it offers a genuine sense of exclusivity while remaining open and welcoming - a creative sanctuary where you’re always looked after. From the moment you arrive, you are surrounded by art, with paintings from local artists and even fellow guests displayed in the lobby.
The atmosphere here is relaxed and friendly, whether you’re poolside, chatting to the chefs, or sipping something special mixed by the resident bartenders. Treasure Beach is designed for those who find joy in self-expression, offering the perfect setting to unwind, recharge, and explore your creative side amidst contemporary comforts.
The resort encourages you to unleash your inner artist. Miniature easels and canvases are placed in your suite, inviting you to paint in private whenever inspiration strikes. You can also join guided activities like a Mandala Art class, where you create colourful designs on smooth rocks, or a Bottle Art class for a relaxing, creative session. For a deeper dive into the local scene, the Treasure Art Crawl takes you on an island tour of galleries, museums, and local artisans. Every Saturday from 10am to 4pm, the hotel hosts a small arts and crafts market, where you can browse handmade jewellery and crafts from local vendors.
A modern wellness retreat
Waves Resort & Spa, Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort sits right on the beachfront and immediately impresses with its fresh, modern coastal vibe. With 70 spacious rooms and suites - many offering ocean views and private balconies - this is the perfect base for wellness seekers and anyone who loves a lively resort feel. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with an energy that makes you feel truly cared for from the moment you arrive. Here, balance is key: tranquil spa treatments and yoga sessions are as much a part of the experience as complimentary water sports and social beach bars. There’s also a world of dining to explore, from healthy, organic options to Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
Wellness is central to the Waves experience. Depending on your room category and length of stay, you can enjoy up to three complimentary spa treatments at the serene on-site spa. You can start your day with a yoga session on the beach, stay active with complimentary water sports, or simply unwind by the pool with the dedicated ambassador service. The dining here is also crafted with wellness in mind, offering everything from healthy, organic options to fresh Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
Best of all, these two resorts are connected by a complimentary water taxi, letting you explore freely between them and experience two very different, yet equally memorable, sides to Barbados.
The best of both worlds: the Dine Around Programme
One of the most valuable features of staying at either Treasure Beach or Waves is the access to the Marriott Barbados Collection’s Dine Around Programme. This unique offering allows you to explore the restaurants and bars at sister all-inclusive hotels along the West Coast, completely free of charge.
A complimentary water taxi shuttles you between the resorts during the day, making it easy to hop from one property to another. You could enjoy a creative culinary masterpiece at Tapestry Restaurant at Treasure Beach for lunch and then head over to Waves for an upscale Indian dinner at Dosa in the evening. This programme adds incredible variety to your stay, allowing you to experience a wide range of flavours and atmospheres without ever leaving the all-inclusive bubble. It turns your holiday into a culinary journey along one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful coastlines.

Grenada offers far more than beautiful beaches, with opportunities to connect with the island through its food, landscapes, and local communities. From cocoa farms and rainforest trails to underwater conservation projects, a holiday here can support the people and places that make Grenada so special, while giving you a more personal way to experience the island.
A short break to Malta can look very different depending on how you like to travel. You could check into a five-star hotel and build your days around art, architecture, and Michelin-starred dining. You could slow everything down, wandering through neighbourhoods, stopping for pastizz, and exploring historic towns. Or you could use Valletta as a base for hiking, kayaking, diving, and days spent discovering Malta’s coastline. Here are three ways to make a short break in Malta completely your own.
For a city break with plenty to see, eat, and experience, Valletta makes a wonderful choice. Malta’s compact capital is easy to explore on foot, with honey-coloured streets leading to grand palaces, historic churches, and harbour viewpoints. From its impressive fortifications to its lively restaurant scene, Valletta brings together centuries of history and a distinctly Mediterranean way of life, making it ideal for visitors who want more from a short break than simply sightseeing.
