How to Get to Each Sandals Resort

Each Sandals Resort is located near a major international airport. You'll find that, depending on the island, a few international airports in the United States fly direct, such as Dallas, Atlanta, and JFK in New York. However, we see the most traffic out of Miami, so to keep it simple, we are sharing flight distances from that airport. Here’s a breakdown of the flight times from the U.S.:

  • Jamaica: 1.5 hours from Miami (MBJ Airport)

  • Bahamas: 50 minutes from Miami (NAS Airport)

  • Saint Lucia: 3.5 hours from Miami (UVF Airport)

  • Antigua: 3 hours from Miami (ANU Airport)

  • Grenada: 4 hours from Miami (GND Airport)

  • Barbados: 3.5 hours from Miami (BGI Airport)

  • Curaçao: 3 hours from Miami (CUR Airport)

  • Saint Vincent: 4 hours from Miami (SVD Airport)

Pro Tip: For Jamaican resorts, consider Club Mobay for VIP fast-track service through customs.
