What Are the Best Sandals Resorts for Nightlife?
While Sandals resorts offer unlimited drinks and nightly entertainment, some properties have cemented themselves above the others as the best Sandals Resorts for nightlife. From lively outdoor bars to nightclubs to bonfires on the beach, Sandals knows how to entertain.
On our last trip to Jamaica, we were pleasantly surprised at how many options there were for fun in the evening. In this article, we’re covering the top 5 Sandals Resorts for nightlife activities:
Sandals Ochi
Sandals Ochi Night Entertainment (Credits: Sandals 2024)
We’ve found the unrivaled champion for nightlife is Sandals Ochi, the largest Sandals resort, which is located in Ochos Rios, Jamaica. The place to be is the Ochi Beach Club, a non-stop party zone with day and night beach parties, pool parties, live DJs, fire dancers, a swim-up bar and even a mechanical bull! With a large property and 11 bars (the most of any Sandals), there are plenty of spots to have some fun.
Must-try: The Rabbit Hole, the Caribbean's first speakeasy bar, is a fun spot for craft cocktails.
Vibe: Young and energetic, spring break for couples.

Sandals Montego Bay (Credits: Sandals 2024)
Just minutes from Montego Bay in Jamaica, Sandals Montego Bay offers the best of both worlds - a perfect beach setting and access to Jamaica's party capital. On property, you can gather around the bonfire for nightly live shows, hit the piano bar, or try your luck at Carnival Night.
Must-try: Hop on the complimentary shuttle to Sandals Royal Caribbean to double your fun with a total of 12 bars.
Vibe: Classic Sandals feel with a bit of local party flavor.

Sandals Grande St. Lucian (Credits: Sandals 2024)
Positioned on its own peninsula in St. Lucia, Sandals Grande St. Lucian has an array of nightlife options, including the 10,000 sq. ft. Palladium nightclub. Dance the night away or sing along at the piano bar. Our favorite spot is relaxing around a beachside fire pit.
Must-try: The Sunset Party happy hour at The Jerk Shack for Caribbean entertainment.
Vibe: Romantic elegance interlaced with a hint of party.

Sandals Royal Bahamian (Credits: Sandals 2024)
Sandals Royal Bahamian is found just minutes from Nassau's nightlife and gambling halls. On property, catch live music over cocktails in the new Coconut Grove lounge area, or head to the offshore island for a chic beach party under the stars. We actually spent hours in the piano bar just people watching!
Must-try: Stay up late at the Crystal Room piano bar.
Vibe: Refined feel with British charm.
Sandals Royal Barbados Piano Bar (Credits: Sandals 2024)
You’ll find twice the amount of options at these two resorts, both found right in the heart of Barbados' nightlife district, St. Lawrence Gap. A "Stay at One, Play at Two" policy means access to both resorts' restaurants, bars and party spots. For a unique twist, try the Lover's Lane bowling alley or the rooftop bar and pool. I’m personally a sucker for a good rooftop bar in the evening.
Must-try: A pint and pub fare at the traditional British Merry Monkey pub.
Vibe: Upscale tropical with a dash of quirkiness.
