BEACHES® RESORTS SELECTED AS A 2024 OPRAH DAILY BEST HOTEL O-WARDS WINNER

Sandals Resorts International announced today that the family-friendly Caribbean all-inclusive Beaches Resorts was named as a winner in Oprah Daily’s 2024 Best Hotel O-Wards.

With three sprawling properties across Turks & Caicos and Jamaica, editors recognized Beaches for its enriching and inclusive family-friendly programming, listing the brand as “One of the best-known all-inclusive family resorts in the Caribbean.” As the first and only Caribbean resort company to undergo the IBCCES Advanced Autism Center Certification, Oprah Daily editors celebrate Beaches’ program catering to children on the autism spectrum, along with new programming such as Sesame Street Sunrise Yoga - a playful movement-and-mindfulness program designed for families with youngsters, and one of many exciting activities within the brand’s Caribbean Adventures with Sesame Street.

For Oprah Daily’s first annual 2024 Hotel O-Wards, editors selected 68 hotel and wellness resorts in and near North America that can transform, teach, and serve as catalysts for becoming, in the words of Oprah herself, “the person you were always meant to be.”

These properties touch on every aspect of self-care: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, even sensual. As with all things travel, they wanted to balance the aspirational with the tactical. Oprah Daily believes the right trip at the right moment and with the right people can feel like a year’s worth of therapy, meditation, and salsa lessons packed into just a few days.

A Caribbean home-grown and family owned brand, Beaches Resorts welcomes and embraces the bonding that takes place over a family getaway and caters to groups large and small, from multi-generational families to friends that feel like family. Encouraging guests to soak up every moment of togetherness, most recently, Beaches Negril in Jamaica, has introduced its oceanfront Eventide Penthouse Suites and Firesky Reserve Villas, sleeping up to 16 guests with unique amenities and experiences like private che-cooked meals, villa-front pools, and telescopes for stargazing. All three Beaches Resorts are a playground for all things fun under the Caribbean sun, including on-resort PADI-certified dive shops that include scuba diving and snorkeling for all resort guests, teen clubs, sprawling waterparks, unlimited landsports and more. Beaches Resorts is also an incredible platform for uplifting Caribbean communities via its non-profit, the Sandals Foundation, dedicated to empowering locals in the areas of Environment, Education and Community. 

“Beaches is a brand founded on family above all and our family just grew a little bigger as we, in great company, earn a coveted spot on Oprah Daily’s first ever Hotel O-Wards,” said Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International, parent company to Beaches Resorts. “It’s always an incredible honor to be recognized in the family travel space, but to have Oprah’s stamp of approval, it’s a proud and humbling moment and an uplifting one as we continue to hone in and evolve the Beaches brand and its power to bring families together with our beloved Caribbean as a backdrop.”
