Blue Diamond Resorts has announced an exciting addition: the launch of Royalton CHIC Barbados. This upscale, adults-only, all-inclusive resort is set to open on Barbados’s Gold Coast in Spring 2026, bringing a vibrant and luxurious experience to the island’s highly sought-after west coast.
Located just 30 minutes from Barbados International Airport, Royalton CHIC Barbados will blend the island’s unique culture and beauty with the dynamic, high-energy vibe of Royalton CHIC Resorts. The new property aims to set a new standard for luxury and entertainment, introducing its signature “Party Your Way” concept, which merges the thrill of daytime activities with an elegant, relaxed atmosphere—perfect for modern travelers seeking both serenity and excitement.
Royalton CHIC Barbados will feature 220 sophisticated suites, each with oceanfront views, swim-out access, or expansive ocean-view balconies. Designed to exude privacy and refinement with nods to local Barbadian culture, the suites promise guests a sense of comfort and opulence. The resort will also offer the exclusive Diamond Club™ suite category, which includes personalized butler service, access to private lounges, and secluded areas for the ultimate in luxury and exclusivity.
Jordi Pelfort, President of Blue Diamond Resorts, expressed his enthusiasm for the expansion: “We are thrilled to bring one of our brands to Barbados. Its people, rich culture and history, natural beauty, and privileged location fill Blue Diamond Resorts with pride as we finally incorporate this destination into our portfolio. This iconic destination is the perfect location for an exciting resort like Royalton CHIC Barbados.”
In addition to its lavish accommodations, the resort will offer an extensive lineup of dining options that blend local and international flavors. From an international buffet and a specialty steakhouse to a French-Island-Fusion restaurant, guests will have diverse culinary experiences to choose from. A highlight will be Level 12, an open-to-the-public rooftop bar and lounge inspired by the renowned Level 18 at Royalton CHIC Cancun. Level 12 will offer stunning panoramic views of the Caribbean, making it the island’s ultimate destination for high-energy events and social gatherings.
In keeping with the Royalton CHIC brand’s promise of excitement and entertainment, guests can unwind by the pool, indulge in the treatments at The Royal Spa, or join fitness classes through Royalton FIT. Meanwhile, the CHIC Angels, the resort’s signature entertainment team, will host a wide array of engaging events to keep the atmosphere lively and memorable.
“This will be the place to be for adult travelers who crave the Caribbean’s unique appeal while immersing themselves in a modern and exhilarating environment,” Pelfort added.
Royalton CHIC Barbados is set to become Barbados’s first all-inclusive adults-only resort of this kind, combining luxurious amenities, a vibrant entertainment lineup, and an idyllic beachfront location. With this new resort, Blue Diamond Resorts is redefining the hospitality lands
