The first international destination from Pendry Hotels & Resorts, this island oasis will bring Pendry’s signature sensibilities and contemporary luxury offerings to a stunning Caribbean setting in St. Peter, on the country’s coveted west coast.

Pendry Hotels & Resorts will reimagine the existing Port Ferdinand Luxury Marina & Residences, and will develop a new luxury beachfront resort and residences with architect, Robert Glazier, and a U.S.-based private investment and development team. Pendry Barbados will consist of approximately 74 oceanfront guest rooms and suites along with 46 private Pendry Residences.

An enchanting island of white sand beaches, timeless caves and coral reefs, and an abundance of aquatic adventures, Barbados is also home to cricket, polo, horse racing, golf and a distinguished culinary scene—all of which will be embodied in the thoughtfully designed, amenity-rich, Pendry Barbados. The resort will offer private membership to an exclusive marina club in Port Ferdinand, featuring a variety of yacht berth sizes. Special amenity highlights include well-appointed dockside boat storage and dedicated individual vessel services to provide the ultimate sailing and boating experience with personalized access to onboard provisioning, dining, housekeeping and assistance with family excursion planning.
