Designed for the modern traveler who values tranquility, this offering invites a deeper connection with the destination through art, local flavors, and the senses.
The first resort to bring this vision to life will be Royalton Vessence Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort – Adults Only, scheduled to open in summer 2026. Previously known as Royalton CHIC Barbados, this resort has evolved into an experience more aligned with the essence of the destination, offering an environment where authenticity, tranquility, and creativity seamlessly intertwine.
“We are excited to introduce this new brand as we celebrate 15 years of experience in the all-inclusive industry,” said Jordi Pelfort, President of Blue Diamond Resorts. “This reflects what we do best: creating visionary concepts that respond to changing traveler expectations while redefining what an adult-only getaway can be. From being the first in the region to offer pools for evening enjoyment to designing spaces for digital disconnection and personal reconnection, it’s about valuing what truly matters, in a meaningful and memorable way.”
From the very beginning, Royalton Vessence Barbados will differentiate itself with thoughtful design and local artwork that tells the story of the destination, including rotating exhibitions by regional artists. Each suite has been conceived as a luxurious art stay, combining refined comfort with a strong sense of place. At the top of the category, the Chairman Suites will integrate artwork, offering a distinctive, elevated retreat with panoramic views. Guests will also be able to upgrade to Diamond Club™ status, which includes personalized butler service, access to exclusive areas, and premium benefits.
Throughout the resort, immersive details invite guests to connect on a deeper level. The Studio, a signature space at the heart of the resort, will offer art, pottery, and cooking workshops during the day, and at night will transform into an intimate stage for live jazz and acoustic music performances. This all-inclusive, adult-oriented resort will also be the first in the region to feature illuminated pools for nighttime swimming, as well as dedicated spaces for digital disconnection, encouraging presence, meaningful conversation, and reflection.
The experience is complemented by Moddo by Royalton FIT, a comprehensive wellness program that includes yoga, conscious breathing, and expert-guided expressive movement sessions. To top it all off, Royalton Vessence Barbados will be the first resort in the destination to offer complimentary airport transfers, ensuring a seamless arrival at this revitalized adults-only getaway.
“We were deeply inspired by the creativity, energy, and warmth of Barbados,” added Pelfort. “This brand was conceived to bring each destination to life through every detail of the resort. From the artwork on the walls to the music that plays after dark, it’s about experiencing the culture without ever leaving the hotel.”
Located on the island's coveted Platinum Coast, Royalton Vessence Barbados fuses coastal elegance with Caribbean soul. It's not just the debut of a new resort, but the beginning of a new standard in adult-oriented travel.
