Ocean Hotels Group, which includes O2 Beach Club & Spa, Sea Breeze Beach House and South Beach Hotel in Barbados, has introduced a variety of new offerings including accommodations updates, new resort programming, meeting spaces, local collaborations and more across its portfolio of hotels.
O2 Beach Club & Spa, Barbados’ newest luxury boutique all-inclusive resort, will unveil this month its new Hawksbill Conference Room, featuring panoramic ocean views, an accessible deck for fresh air meeting breaks, a signature “Re-Fuel” station for attendees to hydrate and caffeinate, and a corner offering brain stimulator games and tools. The resort offers a new Meet & Play concept for intimate Caribbean retreats, designed to counteract the growing intensity of corporate burnout. With 130 luxury rooms and suites, three pools, seven restaurants and bars, and the Acqua Spa, O2 Beach Club & Spa opened in November 2021 as the newest hotel from Ocean Hotels Group and specializes in a la carte, personalized and authentic experiences encouraging guests to ‘breathe it all in’—with true Bajan culture, exclusive beach access, and a prime South Coast location.
For couples, O2 Beach Club & Spa has introduced its brand new Proposal Concierge. This dedicated program features an array of amorous offerings such as a ‘bubble on the beach’ dinner for two, personal photographer, a violinist, customized dessert surprise, and a free night towards the couple’s next stay. Beyond the on-property arrangements, the team at O2 has partnered with local jewelry company, Diamonds International Barbados to provide guests with special access to their Exclusive Crown of Light & D Diamond Jewelry, as well as personalized shopping support (virtual or in-person) to make the proposal extra special.
Additionally, in the works for O2 Beach Club & Spa is a redesign of its notable Luxury Concierge Suites, formerly known as the “Concierge Collection.” These one- and two-bedroom beachfront accommodations will debut a bright and fresh new look later this year.
Sea Breeze Beach House, known for its lush gardens, expansive stretches of white sands and immersive experiences, is a family-friendly hotel with a calendar of weekly activities that engage every guest. The resort’s beach bar, Tipsy on The Beach, has recently introduced “Tipsy Tuesdays,” with a specially created menu and live local entertainment every Tuesday from 6:30-9:00 pm. Additionally, the acclaimed Sea Breeze Beach House Kids Club and teen lounges are back this season with new activities primed for full-day excitement or laid-back leisure. The 122-room boutique all-inclusive resort embraces a contemporary Caribbean style and features six dining outlets, more than 1,000 feet of white sand beach, and a full range of Bajan-inspired activities for guests of all ages.
South Beach Hotel, a 49-room all-suite contemporary hotel located steps away from Accra beach, will unveil a rebrand and transformation later this year, with an anticipated completion for Winter 2023.
Additionally, O2 Beach Club & Spa, Sea Breeze Beach House, and South Beach Hotel have been awarded the Blue Seal of approval by Oceanic Global, making all three properties Blue verified businesses. These Blue Seals are a symbol of recognition highlighting the hotels’ commitment to protecting the planet through responsible business operations and sustainable tourism. The Blue Seal has been delivered to the Ocean Hotels Group portfolio in partnership with UNDP Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean as a result of continuous actions taken to protect the blue planet, the island of Barbados and the vital ecosystem surrounding it.
For those inspired to visit the island of Barbados, both JetBlue and American Airlines have added new nonstop flights for 2023. JetBlue has added a second direct flight to Barbados from New York’s JFK International Airport and beginning later this season, American Airlines will introduce daily flights from Miami International Airport in Florida and Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina.
