The once popular Escape Hotel and Spa on the Platinum Coast of Barbados is being transformed to be home to the upscale Waves Resort, which is set for opening in February 2010.
One of the exciting features of the new resort which will complement the already multi-million dollar valued west coast of the island is the luxury Virgin Lounge, which is popular among jet-setters and top international business executives.
With $14 million in investment, the property is set to bring 70 rooms and suites, three restaurants, four bars as well a Spa with eight treatment rooms, a sauna and steam room and two outdoor massage pavilions and about 11 to 13 suites. This should be a welcomed addition to the island’s tourism product.
Since being closed in mid-2009, the hotel has been under construction with major upgrades to the west coast property.
The four-star luxury property will also bring the all-inclusive service as a main feature in its product offering. Moreover, the partnership which has been sealed with Virgin Holidays as part of a twelve-year contract is a major stepping stone for the property.
The new Waves Resort will become the second such resort world-wide to feature a Virgin Lounge, where guests will have a full-service leisure center in the heart of the resort.
The stylish luxury lounge will also offer Virgin Holidays customers a space of convenience and relaxation. With all of today’s modern technological conveniences, the new property is set to be a major attraction to the already bustling west coast.
