Rondoval Villas Coming to Sandals St. Vincent — November 2026
Sandals has just announced 20 brand-new Rondoval Butler Villas with Private Pools debuting at Sandals St. Vincent on November 1, 2026 — including 3 Sky Villas with private rooftop access. These are bookable now. We cover everything you need to know later in this guide.
If you have ever scrolled through Sandals resort photos and stopped dead at a round, thatched-roof cottage tucked into lush tropical gardens with its own private pool — you have found a Rondoval suite. They are one of Sandals' most distinctive and beloved room categories, and for good reason: there is simply nothing else like them in the Caribbean.
Unlike standard rectangular suites, Rondoval suites are circular villas with 20-foot conical ceilings, open-plan interiors, and a private outdoor sanctuary that feels genuinely removed from the rest of the resort. Paired with 24-hour butler service, they are the ultimate honeymoon upgrade. As Certified Sandals Specialists who have helped hundreds of couples book these suites, we have put together the most comprehensive guide available — covering all 9 current resorts plus the exciting St. Vincent launch coming in November 2026.
Most unique Rondoval: Sandals Dunn's River (Sky Villa with rooftop stargazing terrace). Best value: Sandals South Coast or Sandals Grande Antigua. Most scenic setting: Sandals Grande St. Lucian. Coming soon: Sandals St. Vincent Rondoval Villas open November 1, 2026.
What Is a Sandals Rondoval Suite?
The word "Rondoval" is a Sandals creation, blending "round" and "oval" to describe their signature circular villa design. Every Rondoval shares a few defining characteristics regardless of which resort you visit:
- Circular or oval footprint with a dramatic conical thatched roof
- Soaring 20-foot ceilings that make the interior feel palatial despite the intimate exterior
- Private outdoor space — almost always with a private plunge pool or pool sanctuary
- 24-hour personal butler service, with some locations offering swim-up access
- Tranquility Soaking Tub for two, fully stocked bar, and custom king bed
- Complete seclusion — most Rondoval villages are set apart from the main resort buildings
What changes between resorts is the setting, the specific suite variations available, and any unique features — like swim-up river pool access at South Coast, rooftop sky terraces at Dunn's River and La Toc, or beachfront positioning at Grande Antigua. That is exactly what this guide breaks down.

The Most Unique Rondoval in the Portfolio — Sky Villa with Rooftop Stargazing
If you could design your dream Rondoval from scratch, you might end up with something close to what Sandals Dunn's River has built. Freshly renovated from top to bottom, this resort offers two distinct Rondoval experiences — and the Sky Villa version is unlike anything else in the Caribbean.
The Coyaba Sky Villa Swim-Up Rondoval takes everything great about the standard Rondoval and adds a full second floor: a rooftop terrace complete with a bistro dining set, loungers, a Tranquility Soaking Tub for two, and a telescope for stargazing under the clear Jamaica night sky. Having your butler arrange a candlelit dinner up there is the kind of memory couples talk about for the rest of their lives.
Rondoval Suite Types at Dunn's River
- Coyoba Sky Villa Swim-Up Rondoval — swim-up river pool access + full rooftop terrace with telescope (5 available)
- Coyoba Villa Swim-Up Rondoval — swim-up river pool access + skylight above the tub instead of rooftop (7 available)
What to Expect
- Direct swim-up access to the resort's beautiful river-style pool from your suite
- Private pool sanctuary plus the shared river pool — best of both worlds
- Oversized king bed with spacious living area and full wet bar
- 24-hour butler service and in-room dining included
- Brand new renovation — everything feels immaculate and fresh
- Access to Sandals Ochi next door via the Stay at One, Play at Two program
Honest Pros & Cons
- Sky Villa rooftop terrace is the most unique Rondoval feature anywhere in the brand
- Swim-up river pool access — rare combination with Rondoval design
- Brand new renovation — everything fresh and modern
- Most affordable resort with Rondoval suites in the portfolio
- Only 12 Rondovals total — the hardest to book
- ~90 minutes from Montego Bay airport or ~30 min from Ian Fleming Airport
Starting price: ~$290+ per person, per night, all-inclusive. Rondoval suites carry a premium above this.

The World's First Swim-Up Rondoval & Most Affordable Option
Sandals South Coast holds a special place in Rondoval history — it was here that Sandals first introduced the swim-up Rondoval concept, marketing it as the "World's First Swim-Up Rondoval Suites." The 20 Rondoval suites are grouped together in the Rondoval Village, connected by a winding river pool that you can swim directly from your suite.
Combined with South Coast's famously secluded setting within a 500-acre nature reserve and its 2-mile private beach, this is arguably the most romantic Rondoval experience in Jamaica — and at the most accessible price point of any Rondoval at Sandals.
What to Expect
- Swim-up access to the resort's meandering river pool directly from your suite
- Private pool sanctuary secluded behind a privacy wall
- 20-foot conical ceilings with thatched exterior and open floor plan
- Soaking tub, spacious walk-in shower, fully stocked premium bar
- 24-hour butler service and in-room dining
- Steps from the 2-mile private beach and resort's 9 restaurants
- Motorized water sports included — water skiing, wakeboarding, and more
Honest Pros & Cons
- Most affordable Rondoval entry point in the Sandals portfolio
- Swim-up river pool access — unique combination
- 20 Rondovals available — easier to book than Dunn's River
- Most secluded resort atmosphere — perfect for true escape
- ~90 minutes from Montego Bay airport — long transfer
- No rooftop terrace or beachfront Rondoval option
Starting price: ~$400+ per person, per night, all-inclusive. Rondoval suites carry a premium above this.

The Most Scenic Rondoval Setting — Beachfront with Panoramic Views
Sandals Grande St. Lucian offers something no other Rondoval resort can: direct beachfront access from your circular villa, combined with some of the most breathtaking panoramic views in the entire Caribbean. The resort sits on a narrow peninsula between Rodney Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, giving Rondoval guests front-row views of both bodies of water.
We personally spent time at Grande St. Lucian and were genuinely struck by the quality — the food was exceptional, the service warm, and the Rondoval suites, tucked along the beach with their own private pools, felt like a completely separate world from the main resort. The "Stay at One, Play at All Three" benefit adds even more value, giving you access to two additional St. Lucia resorts via complimentary shuttle.
Rondoval Suite Types at Grande St. Lucian
- Beachfront Grande Rondoval Butler Suite with Private Pool Sanctuary — directly on the beach with private pool and stunning bay views
- Grande Rondoval Butler Suite with Private Pool Sanctuary — set slightly back from the beach, more private, slightly more affordable
What to Expect
- Beachfront positioning — steps from the sand with private pool on your patio
- Panoramic views of Rodney Bay from both suite and private terrace
- Natural stone flooring, Roman soaking tub, outdoor hammock and shower
- Access to all three Sandals St. Lucia resorts — 27 restaurants total
- 24-hour butler service included
- Golf greens fees included at a nearby course
Honest Pros & Cons
- Only Rondoval resort with true beachfront villa positioning
- Stunning 360-degree water views from a dramatic peninsula
- Access to 3 resorts — the best dining breadth in St. Lucia
- Personal experience: exceptional food and service
- No swim-up or rooftop option for Rondovals
- ~45 minutes from Hewanorra Airport (UVF)
Starting price: ~$520+ per person, per night, all-inclusive for Rondoval suites.

The Intimate, Boutique Rondoval Experience
Sandals Halcyon Beach is the smallest and most boutique of the three St. Lucia resorts, and its Rondoval suites reflect that intimate character perfectly. Added as part of a recent expansion, the five Koko Rondoval Villas feel truly hidden within lush, natural surroundings — an all-natural feel with rounded walls, thatched roofs, and a private patio with plunge pool.
As a smaller resort, Halcyon Beach benefits from the "Stay at One, Play at All" program, meaning you can enjoy the wider dining and amenities of Grande St. Lucian and Regency La Toc — giving you a boutique retreat to come home to each evening but a much larger resort experience throughout the day.
What to Expect
- 5 Koko Rondoval Villas — small and exclusive, very intimate feel
- Natural, organic design aesthetic — the most nature-integrated Rondoval at Sandals
- Private patio with plunge pool surrounded by tropical gardens
- Access to all three Sandals St. Lucia resorts via complimentary shuttle
- Butler service included
- Calm, laid-back beach perfect for couples wanting a quieter atmosphere
Honest Pros & Cons
- Most intimate and boutique Rondoval experience in the portfolio
- Lush, natural setting with the most organic design aesthetic
- Access to 3 resorts — great dining variety despite smaller size
- Only 5 Rondovals — very limited availability
- No beachfront or swim-up option
- Smaller resort may feel limited without the exchange program
Starting price: ~$400+ per person, per night, all-inclusive for Rondoval suites.

Sky Villas with Rooftop Terraces & Telescope Stargazing
Sandals Regency La Toc received a major upgrade with the addition of 22 new Rondoval Butler Villas, eight of which feature their own private rooftop terrace — making it the other resort (alongside Dunn's River) that offers this spectacular Sky Villa experience. Set on a stunning 210-acre estate with dramatic bluff views, the Rondoval Village here functions as a true "resort within a resort."
The Sky Villa rooftops include a bistro dining set, loungers, a Tranquility Soaking Tub for two, and telescope stargazing under St. Lucia's clear night sky. For couples who want the rooftop experience but prefer St. Lucia over Jamaica, La Toc is your answer.
What to Expect
- 22 Rondoval Villas — 8 with private rooftop terraces (Sky Villas)
- Rooftop terrace with soaking tub, dining set, loungers, and telescope
- Private pool sanctuary at ground level
- Set alongside the existing golf course — peaceful garden surrounds
- Access to all three Sandals St. Lucia resorts
- Butler service and 24-hour in-room dining included
Honest Pros & Cons
- Sky Villa rooftop — only one of two resorts offering this
- 22 Rondovals available — much more booking flexibility than Dunn's River

- Access to 3 St. Lucia resorts
- No swim-up or beachfront Rondoval option

Starting price: ~$450+ per person, per night, all-inclusive for Rondoval suites.

The Most Lavish Rondoval Bathroom — Jacuzzi with Waterfall
Ask seasoned Sandals guests which Rondoval has the most impressive bathroom and the answer is almost always Grenada. The South Seas Grande Rondoval Butler Suites feature a large soaking tub carved out of solid stone, his-and-hers vanities with backlit mirrors, and — the showstopper — a Jacuzzi with waterfall and plunge pool on the patio with an infinity edge. It is the kind of detail that makes your jaw drop when you step outside for the first time.
Set in the South Seas Village against the backdrop of Grenada's lush tropical landscape and Pink Gin Beach, these Rondovals are consistently rated among the most popular in the entire Sandals portfolio.
What to Expect
- Stone-carved soaking tub — arguably the most beautiful bathroom at any Rondoval
- Jacuzzi with waterfall feature on the patio plus infinity-edge plunge pool
- 20-foot conical ceilings with ivory patika and porcelain plank flooring

- Pink Gin Beach just steps away — one of Grenada's finest stretches of sand
- 10 restaurants, 6 bars, 5 pools, and complimentary SCUBA diving
Honest Pros & Cons

- Beautiful, less-touristy island atmosphere
- Pink Gin Beach is stunning — right at your doorstep
- Consistently among the highest-rated Rondoval experiences
- Higher starting price than Jamaica and some St. Lucia options

The Rondoval Suites here, located in the South Seas Village added in 2021, are surrounded by lush foliage for a sense of private escape even within this lively resort.

The Best Value Beachfront Rondoval — On Dickenson Bay
Sandals Grande Antigua has been voted the "Caribbean's Most Romantic Resort" seven years running, and its beachfront Rondoval suites make a strong case for why. Located right on Dickenson Bay — one of Antigua's most beautiful beaches — the Caribbean Beachfront Butler Rondovals sit alongside the sand, giving you a private beach space just steps from your circular cottage.
Alongside the beachfront option, Grande Antigua also offers honeymoon-specific Rondoval suites with a more secluded private pool sanctuary. With a starting price of around $522 per person per night, it is the most affordable beachfront Rondoval experience in the portfolio.

What to Expect

The Most Unique Island Setting — Dutch Caribbean Charm
Sandals Royal Curaçao stands apart from every other resort in the portfolio — both in its setting and its character. Curaçao is a Dutch Caribbean island with a distinctly different personality to Jamaica or St. Lucia: colorful colonial architecture, world-class diving, and a sophisticated European flair. The Asombroso Rondoval Butler Villas here reflect that unique aesthetic beautifully.
Our founder Laura personally stayed at Sandals Royal Curaçao last year and was blown away by the quality — the glass infinity pool, the food, and the overall sense of refinement set it apart from what you might expect. For well-traveled couples who want something genuinely different, this is a compelling choice.
What to Expect
- Asombroso Rondoval Butler Villas — private pool, outdoor soaking tub, secluded hideaway feel
- Dutch Caribbean design aesthetic — distinctly different from other Sandals properties
- Glass infinity pool — one of the most striking pool designs at any Sandals
- Mini Cooper included with select suites — a uniquely Curaçao touch
- World-class SCUBA diving and snorkeling off the island

- Great for well-traveled couples wanting something different
- Further from US East Coast than Jamaica or Antigua

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Sandals Rondoval suites different from other rooms?
Rondoval suites are circular or oval villas with a distinctive conical thatched roof — completely different from the standard rectangular suite buildings found at most resorts. Inside, the 20-foot ceilings make the space feel palatial despite the intimate exterior. Every Rondoval also includes butler service and a private outdoor space, usually with a private plunge pool. They are designed for couples who want a genuine sense of seclusion and romance without the overwater bungalow price tag.
How much do Sandals Rondoval suites cost?
Rondoval suites start at roughly $522–$833+ per person, per night all-inclusive depending on the resort, season, and specific suite category. Sandals South Coast and Sandals Grande Antigua are typically the most affordable, while Sandals Grenada and Sandals Royal Barbados tend to run higher. Peak season (December through April) can add 30–50% to these base rates. All prices are all-inclusive, meaning food, drinks, butler service, water sports, and SCUBA diving are all covered.
Which Sandals Rondoval has swim-up access?
Only two resorts offer swim-up Rondoval suites: Sandals Dunn's River (swim-up to a river-style pool) and Sandals South Coast (swim-up to a winding river pool that connects the Rondoval Village). South Coast was actually the original swim-up Rondoval concept, marketed as the "World's First Swim-Up Rondoval Suites" when it launched.
Which Sandals Rondoval has a rooftop terrace?
Two resorts currently offer Sky Villa Rondovals with private rooftop terraces: Sandals Dunn's River in Jamaica (5 Sky Villas) and Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia (8 Sky Villas). Both rooftop terraces include a soaking tub, bistro dining set, loungers, and a telescope for stargazing. Sandals St. Vincent will also offer 3 rooftop Sky Villas when their Rondoval Villas open in November 2026.
Are Sandals Rondoval suites good for a honeymoon?
Absolutely — they are one of the best honeymoon suite categories in the Caribbean. The circular design, private outdoor sanctuary, and 24-hour butler service create an incredibly intimate experience. Most couples who stay in a Rondoval tell us they barely left their villa — and that is exactly the point. The best approach is to treat the Rondoval as your private retreat and venture out for meals and activities, then come back to your own little world each evening.
Can I do a split stay — a few nights in a Rondoval and a few nights in another room?
Yes, Sandals allows split stays within the same resort. This is a popular option for couples who want to experience the Rondoval without paying the premium rate for their entire trip. Book 2–3 nights in a standard suite and end with 2–3 nights in the Rondoval as a special honeymoon treat. Just plan well in advance — Rondoval availability is limited at most properties.
📅 Ready to book? Rondoval availability is limited — especially at Dunn's River (only 12 suites).
