The Sandpiper

5 out of 5 stars

The Sandpiper sits on a calm sweep of St James sand, with gardens scented with frangipani. You step from sun to shade in seconds. Staff learn your pace and keep life simple. Mornings suit a slow swim and fresh juice. Lunch feels light by the sea. Evenings glow at Harold’s Bar, then drift to a table at The Beach Restaurant. The spa brings quiet, and the kids' club keeps play neat each day.
