“World’s Best All-Inclusive Resorts for Food”

Though the resort only has five restaurants, they are superb with French specialties, gastro pub offerings, international fare, and grilled dishes. And you won’t want to miss the afternoon tea service.

The resort is also renowned for its unparalleled luxuries. All butler and all beachfront? That’s hard to beat. Coupled with golf at the nearby Sandals Golf & Country Club, a private beach, and unlimited premium drinks and Mondavi® wines, Sandals Royal Plantation isn’t just one of the world’s best all-inclusive resorts for food.

Meet Sandals’ Newest Chef

Being the best means always striving to create and enjoyable experiences. Sandals Barbados, which opened in January after an extensive renovation to the property, has the brand’s first Indian restaurant, the Bombay Club. The kitchen is overseen by 24-year-old Sous Chef Vinoth Venkatapuram Gajendiran, who began cooking at a very young age in Thiruvallur, India, with his grandmother. He entered the culinary world at 17 with a diploma in hotel management from the Canan Fort Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology and went on to work at 4-star luxury hotels and even the YMCA International Chef House in Purasavakkam. Chef Vinoth eventually came to the Caribbean to blend Jamaican and Indian flavors at Total Treat in Ocho Rio, blending Jamaican before becoming head chef at Ocho Rios Passage, a well-known Indian restaurant in Jamaica.

Sandals Barbados may be secluded, but it stands out with the Bombay Club, Sandals’ first Indian restaurant.

Now at the Bombay Club, Chef Vinoth creates spectacular dishes with traditional Indian flavors such as saffron, cumin, cinnamon and more. The restaurant serves popular dishes such a slamb samosas, chicken tiika , shrimp vindaloo, and vegetable pakora.

The Bombay Club and its Indian spices join British pub fare, Japanese Teppanyaki, Caribbean seaside dining, and Italian favorites to create an all-inclusive, culinary journey around the world, in Barbados.
