HOTELS Great Honeymoons Three hotels sure to ignite the passion in your newlywed clients. At Sandy Lane (www.sandylane. com) in Barbados be sure to secure a stay in one of the Dolphin Suites for your lovebirds; since they offer a separate living area and kitchenette. However, for more space, and bragging rights to boot, the 7,300-square-foot Villa can’t be beat. The Digs: This prime pick has its own private entrance and his-and-hers bathrooms, complete with their own dressing rooms; unmatched ocean views present newlyweds with a pretty backdrop while they prepare for a romantic night out on the town. For a cozy night spent in, the Villa also features a private pool with an oversized Jacuzzi. Romantic Touch: The veranda, off the main living room, leads to a gazebo, where your clients can toast their new union with a private dinner. The resident chef can cater to every whim. If your clients are all about the view, we hear that the Seahouse, Turtle and Dolphin wings all lend themselves to postcard-perfect views of the ocean or an awe-inspiring Caribbean sunset. Those sending their clients to the property should contact General Manager Robert Logan (rlogan@sandylane.com; 246-444-2004). Pampering should be a top priority regardless of the vacation type. Couples can enjoy the Signature Sandy Lane Romance Ritual, which just so happens to be a couples’ massage, in the property’s 11-treatment-room spa. The spa director is Jo Bullock (jbullock@sandylane.com; 246-444-2087). For romantic dinners, Bajan Blue, part of the property’s recently unveiled culinary program, features indoor and outdoor dining and a beach bar with sea views. Bajan Blue also includes a wine bar, great for post-dinner drinks. For an ultra-luxurious, off-site dining experience, have clients try The Cliff (thecliff@sunbeach.net; 246-432-1922), with its perched setting and modern cuisine. For a more exotic take on the honeymoon experience, try The Royal Livingstone Hotel (www. suninternational.com) in Victoria Falls, Zambia. All standard rooms offer a balcony or terrace, which have views of the lawn leading down to the Zambezi River, as well as butler service. If your VIPs want to celebrate their nuptials with a little more luxury, the three standard suites have a separate living room, and the Presidential Suite is about double the size of a standard room. Presidential Perks: This top suite also has a telescope—perfect for viewing the majestic African landscape—a patio with a table that seats nine, a Jacuzzi in the 24 LUXURY TRAVEL ADVISOR | January 2009 http://www.sandylane.com http://www.sandylane.com http://www.suninternational.com http://www.suninternational.com
