Sandals South Coast Resort

Where you can find some of the best Sandals rooms ever made.

Sandals South Coast is almost like a Sandals hidden gem in Jamaica. Most guests that are looking for a beach resort in Jamaica head to Sandals Negril, Sandals Ochi or Sandals Montego Bay. Poor Sandals South Coast. It sits on the south coast of Jamaica, and doesn’t get as many visitors as all the others. Wait a minute…. maybe that is actually great news, right?

Sandals South Coast is one of the most unique and underrated Sandals in the Caribbean. It’s a big resort, known for its amazing beaches, excellent snorkeling opportunities and gorgeous gardens. I’m not kidding, you will see trees, flowers and well-maintained grounds everywhere. This entire combination makes Sandals South Coast one of the most romantic resorts in the Caribbean, and it constantly makes the podium when magazines talk about the best places for a honeymoon in Jamaica.

Do you know what’s also great? Sandals South Coast also offers some very affordable rooms and is considered the second most affordable Sandals in Jamaica. You know what’s also great? This resort also has some of the most luxurious and expensive Sandals rooms in the world. This resort has the iconic Overwater Butler Villas that you may have seen on Instagram. These are ocean-set villas with glass-bottom floors, beds positioned right above the ocean and a unique charm that is hard to beat.

The beach is great, as it curves around the resort and rivals Seven Mile Beach in beauty. The sand is soft and warm, with calm water perfect for snorkeling. While technically not private, Sandals South Coast is far away from the busy areas of Jamaica, meaning that you'll almost always find only Sandals guests enjoying the beach with beach vendors rarely making an appearance.

The pools are also very good. South Coast features one of the largest pools in the Caribbean, right in front of the resort and acting as a central landmark. There are also rooms with new private swim-up pools that create a canal-like feel with crystal-clear water. This resort is one of the rare cases where both the pools and the beach are amazing.

The biggest drawback is the 90-minute transfer from Sangster International Airport. Well, that’s the price for enjoying a very secluded, quiet and romantic beach resort. For a lot of guests, the 90-minute trip is worth it if it means enjoying one of the most romantic resorts Sandals has to offer.

Sandals South Coast is amazing. If you want a very secluded resort in Jamaica that is very, very romantic, then this is the place to be. That’s also the resort for those that want some of the best, most luxurious rooms Sandals has to offer. If you’re planning a honeymoon or want a special wedding, you can also stop reading now and get to booking. You won’t be disappointed.
