The luxury 5 star Merricks Beach Resort is situated in a stunning cliff top position in the south east of Barbados on the ruggedly beautiful Atlantic coast and enjoys spectacular panoramas forged over millions of years by the powerful Atlantic Ocean's winds and waves. Located in the parish of St Philip, 4km north of The Crane and next to Sam Lord?s Castle it?s just 20 minutes from the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport.

The Merricks Beach Resort will become one of Barbados?s most luxurious, family-orientated 5 star resorts and will offer state-of-the-art accommodation and amenities including a world class spa. There is currently a shortage of this level of accommodation on the island.

It will be managed and maintained to the highest standard by world-class hotel company OASIS HOTELS & RESORTS. They are confident in providing the highest standards of quality, style and comfort for guests. The resort will also benefit from the efficiency of their global booking system and established online presence which will ensure maximum occupancy throughout the year.

Several Environmental Impact Analysis projects are currently in progress to facilitate our application for planning approval. We already have the report and recommendations from a 3 month coastal study and proposal for creating a breakwater for the beach at Palmetto Bay to make a safe area for bathing.

Completion Date

We expect to receive full planning permission by the end of 2008 and to complete the resort by Christmas 2012.
