Sandals Royal Barbados has opened a new wedding venue: the Sky Terrace. | The Sky Terrace is a semiprivate space overlooking the ocean for up to 50 people. Take a look.

I'd met Marksun, head gardener at Sandals Barbados, right after the resort opened in January 2015. He's still there, but now he has the gardens of two resorts to nurture, pamper and tend.

Events, including weddings and vow renewals, can easily be held at this property, with two 1,000 square-foot meeting rooms plus an additional 6,500 square-foot space at the Sandals Royal Barbados.

Sandals Resorts International has decided to "unbundle" its wedding package offerings, allowing betrothed couples to hand-pick all of the items for their destination weddings.

Some of its newest properties are located in Saint Vincent, Curacao, and Jamaica. Sandals Royal Barbados, which opened in 2017, is located on Maxwell Beach in St. Lawrence Gap.
