Overview
Tamarind by Elegant Hotels is set on a golden 750-foot stretch of beach along Barbados’s coveted Platinum West Coast (Paynes Bay), offering a stylish, all-inclusive family retreat where sophisticated design meets relaxed island living.
The resort features elegant suites and rooms, many with balconies facing the sea, and a full complement of amenities: three swimming pools (including an adults-only relaxation pool), a wellness-focused spa, and complimentary water sports—motorised and non-motorised—making it ideal for active families and couples alike.

Location
Located at 1 Paynes Bay in the parish of Saint James, Tamarind enjoys one of Barbados’s most desirable beaches, with calm turquoise waters and a prime west-coast location. It’s just minutes from the vibrant Holetown district (shops, restaurants and local culture) and around a 30-45 minute drive from Grantley Adams International Airport—making it both accessible and tranquil.

Family Highlights
Flying Fish Kids Club (ages ~3-12) and designated teen lounge (“Club Tamarind”) offering beach games, crafts, movie nights, console games, foosball and more.
Accommodations are family-friendly; options include One-Bedroom Suites and family-connected Ocean View Junior Suites that can host larger groups.
Water-based fun is plentiful: water trampoline, banana boats, kayaking, paddle-boarding, tubing and snorkelling are all included.
While kids are engaged, parents can relax in the spa, by the adults-only pool, or enjoy fine Caribbean-Mediterranean dining by the ocean.
