Why not? That’s the real question.
The hotel resort features 112 guestrooms and suites as well as a five-bedroom villa, a 47,000 sq. ft. (4,400 m²) spa, four restaurants, seven bars, and three golf courses.
With an astonishingly beautiful reef just off the coast from the Sandy Lane hotel, barracuda, as well as lobsters and several other species of small fish, inhabit the seas.
Sandy Lane is known as one of the Caribbean’s most stylish and family-friendly hotels, as well as being a haven for the rich and famous.
Past guests who are said to have stayed at the Sandy Lane hotel include Maria Callas, Andrea Corr (co-owner, Dermot Desmond’s daughter-in-law), T. S. Eliot, Queen Elizabeth II, Elton John, Rihanna, Jacqueline Kennedy, Aristotle Onassis, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Winner, Simon Cowell, Robin Van Persie, and Sidney Poitier.
On 5 October 2004, professional golfer Tiger Woods married his Swedish fiancée, Elin Nordegren, at the resort. It was reported that Woods booked out the entire hotel for his guests, who included Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and Michael Jordan. The owners of the hotel, who include Woods’ close friend J.P. McManus, reportedly threw the wedding at the hotel as a gift for the couple.
