Blue Diamond Resorts is expanding into Barbados with the introduction of Royalton CHIC Barbados, a “posh and vibrant” adults-only all-inclusive resort set to open in Spring 2026.
The 220-suite property will be located just 30 minutes from Barbados International Airport on the island’s coveted Gold Coast, known for its tranquil Caribbean waters.
Blue Diamond says the new property “promises to redefine the island’s luxury travel scene by blending the vibrant energy of Barbados with the effervescence and exclusivity of Royalton CHIC Resorts, including the brand’s signature ‘Party Your Way’ concept.”
Each suite will offer either oceanfront views, swim-out access, or ocean views, with spacious balconies to enjoy the serene surroundings. Those seeking a further elevated experience will be able to book the exclusive Diamond Club suite category, which provides personalized butler service, access to a private lounge, secluded areas, and premium amenities.
“We are thrilled to bring one of our brands to Barbados. Its people, rich culture and history, natural beauty, and privileged location fill Blue Diamond Resorts with pride as we finally incorporate this destination into our portfolio,” said Blue Diamond President Jordi Pelfort,. “This iconic destination is the perfect location for an exciting resort like Royalton CHIC Barbados.”

Royalton CHIC adults-only resorts promise a unique combination of laid-back relaxation and energetic entertainment.
“Whether lounging by the pool, indulging in world-class treatments at The Royal Spa, or energizing with lively Royalton FIT classes, there will always be something happening. To heighten the excitement, the brand’s signature entertainment team, the CHIC Angels, will host a dynamic lineup of events and activities designed to celebrate every moment,” Blue Diamond says in a press release.
When it comes to dining, Royalton CHIC Barbados guests will enjoy a variety of options, including an international buffet, a specialty steakhouse, and a French-Island-Fusion restaurant. But Blue Diamond says the showstopper will be Level 12, a dazzling rooftop bar and lounge, open to the public, inspired by the “wildly popular” Level 18 at Royalton CHIC Cancun.
“This will be the place to be for adult travellers who crave the Caribbean’s unique appeal while immersing themselves in a modern and exhilarating environment,” added Pelfort.
