Full of casual elegance, the O2 Beach Club & Spa offers an all-inclusive experience with a sophisticated vibe. Just footsteps away from the soft white sands and warm turquoise waters of Barbados’s south coast, this upscale hotel has sweeping views of the famous Oistins Bay.
Resplendent with contemporary style and modern comforts, the beach club has been designed to satisfy a wide range of holiday wishes, with personalised service and an all-inclusive offering that includes several glittering pools, memory-foam loungers, six dining options, premium wines and spirits, rooftop bar, fitness centre and non-motorised water sports.
The hotel has a total of 130 rooms and suites, which include swim-up rooms, an adult-only Luxury Collection of Junior Suites, and a Concierge Collection, which both come with a range of upgraded services. All feature contemporary furnishings, colourful décor, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, ceiling fan, large comfortable bed, private balcony, or terrace, modern ensuite bathroom, Satellite TV, fridge, and tea/coffee making facilities.
Entry level Club Rooms sleep up to two adults, with Deluxe Club Rooms including both a rainfall shower and a Jacuzzi bathtub.

Guests can choose from Pool, Oceanview or Oceanfront options. There is also a Junior Swim-Up Suite, offering direct access to the adult-only river pool and swim-up bar. While the suites sleep up to three adults, those travelling in larger groups can book a Two-Bedroom Suite.
Alternatively, the top of the range, Concierge Collection features a range of One and Two-Bedroom Suites, with coastal chic décor and a choice of Bayview or Oceanfront locations. Guests also enjoy a Personal Experience Ambassador Service, in-room stocked grocery items on request and one 45-minute masterclass per suite, per stay.
The choice of restaurants is extensive. Elements is the culinary heart of the resort serving local and international cuisine overlooking the beach, while Bluefin captures the laidback Barbados charm with burgers, salads and pizza served on the terrace. For wonderful views accompanied by small plates and cocktails, head to Brisa, an inviting rooftop lounge or for those looking for more of a fine dining experience, Oro on the 9th floor serves a fusion of modern European and Caribbean flavours against a backdrop of sweeping views. For all day drinks and snack, Oasis is the ideal anytime retreat, again with those lovely ocean views.
Guests in Luxury and Concierge Suites staying four nights or longer can also dine at the hotel’s sister property, Sea Breeze Beach House, which offers another five dining experiences. Those celebrating a special occasion can also indulge in Private Dining on the beach for an additional cost.
There are many benefits of the O2 Beach Club’s premium all-inclusive offering. Fine wines and premium spirits, a daily programme of ‘How To’ lessons based on the island’s culture, such as steel pan playing and rum punch making, along with nightly entertainment are all included. There is also a 24-hour fitness centre, teen lounge, non-motorised water sports, three swimming pools (two are adult-only), whirlpool tubs and a rooftop deck.
The Acqua Spa offers a range of relaxing treatments overlooking the ocean, including a Hammam treatment room. While treatments are charged separately, guests staying in the Luxury Collection get $75 spa credit per adult, per stay and those in the Concierge Collection get $125 per adult, per stay.
