Mouthwatering Fare
There is no cuisine in the world like Caribbean food. When settlers from around the globe flocked to the region hundreds of years ago, they all brought their own unique flavors. As Caribbean cuisine developed, it fused these elements together into a distinctive taste all its own. There is no better place in Barbados to experience high-end Caribbean food than Taboras Restaurant. And with the open kitchen and stunning view of the water, the experience shall not disappoint!
Palm Terrace Restaurant also has a Caribbean flair, albeit a more casual atmosphere for breakfast. Built along the beach, the eatery has an extensive view of the sea. Combined with the lush gardens, it is a stunning place to eat. And in the evening, the restaurant alters the casual ambience and turns into a semi-formal dinner spot. The perfect spot for a date night!
Don’t forget to experience a bit of tradition while you’re staying at this luxury hotel on your beach vacation. Inspired by the island’s British connection, the afternoon tea service is not to be missed. And if you’re just in need of a bite while lounging on the beach, look no further than Beach Club.
Indulgent Spa Services
This luxury hotel does not have a dedicated spa. Instead, treatments and sessions occur within the privacy of guest’s rooms. Guests can choose from a variety of services on the extensive menu including the expected standards, such as aromatherapy, swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone therapy, facials, mineral salt scrubs and body wraps. However, the list of treatments extends to the unexpected as well! Enjoy some reflexology or work on total body wellness for the ultimate vacation experience.
Fairmont Royal Pavilion is also proud to be the home of the world famous Sass Beauty Salon. Established by celebrity hairdresser Donna Smith and widely considered the most prestigious salon in St. James, the salon offers hair, makeup, manicure and pedicure services.

Fairmont Royal Pavilion guests can try a large variety of non-motorized water sports like kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boating, Hobie wave sail boating and stand-up paddleboarding. And don’t forget to arrange a swim with the sea turtles! However, since the turtles are migratory, this incredible experience is seasonal.
