Spring at Casablanca
Fantasizing about a tropical vacation getaway? Casablanca at Sandy Lane Barbados will check all of your dream vacation boxes!
Spring is now in full swing in Barbados, even as temperatures drop in northern locations around the globe. Staying at Casablanca in the spring means you’ll experience the lush, tropical beauty, spend a relaxing vacation at a luxury estate, and you’ll get to escape the snow.
During the spring, temperatures in Barbados average between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius — perfect for sunbathing, ocean dips, and hikes through the forest. And while the island is always a tropical paradise, it is especially beautiful in the spring when all the vegetation is lush and in bud.
Enjoy an afternoon picnicking on the grounds at Casablanca, immersed in the gorgeous flowers and greenery in the gardens. You might spot Bougainvillea, ginger lilies, hibiscus, and even the Pride of Barbados, the Bajan national flower. It’s the perfect way to take in all the natural beauty the island has to offer, and the Villa and gardens are completely private to you and your guests.
If you’re looking for more information about the gardens, ask the gardener at Casablanca for a tour! You’ll be able to learn about the native Bajan plants that grow in the Villa’s backyard and the fresh herbs that will make their way into your meals.
Casablanca’s gourmet chef can prepare a personalized meal for you to enjoy on the verandah, complete with your favourite dishes or local Bajan cuisine. Soak up the sunshine, take in the views of the garden, and enjoy an exquisite meal. No need to stress about cooking or meal planning when you have access to fine-dining and a personal chef right at your fingertips.
Up for exploring the lush vegetation across the island? The concierge staff and butler at Casablanca can plan day trips and excursions. They can book you a spot at botanical gardens like Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Hunte’s Gardens, and Flower Forest or direct you to Coco Hill Forest that features over three kilometres of trails to explore or Welchman Hall Gulley, where you can feed green monkeys.
For other attractions in Barbados during the spring, stop by the Oistins Fish Festival, which takes place during Easter weekend. It’s a way to celebrate everyone in the fishing industry, which is a huge part of the culture of Barbados. Try local delicacies like flying fish with cou cou, fish cakes, seared Mahi Mahi, roti, and more. There are also craft fairs to check out during the festival, and you’ll hear traditional music from Tuk-tuk bands.
An Easter egg hunt also takes place at Sandy Lane Estate Beach Club during Easter weekend, and by staying at Casablanca, you have exclusive access to the private beach. Relax in a beach cabana, rent water sports equipment, or simply splash in the waves.
