Royalton Plans Adults-Only Vessence Brand Debut Barbados 2026

Royalton Luxury Resorts has introduced Royalton Vessence, a new adults-only, all-inclusive brand designed to offer a calm, authentic, and creatively immersive experience that connects guests more deeply with the local culture through art and sensory engagement. The inaugural property, Royalton Vessence Barbados, an Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort, is set to open on Barbados’ Platinum Coast in summer 2026, evolving from the previously planned Royalton CHIC Barbados. The resort will feature locally inspired design elements, rotating exhibitions by regional artists, artfully styled luxury suites, and premium offerings such as personalized butler service in the Diamond Club suites and distinctive Chairman Suites. Unique amenities include a central Studio for art, pottery, and culinary workshops by day and live jazz performances by night, as well as glow-lit pools for late-night swimming, digital detox zones, and a wellness program called Moddo by Royalton FIT. Blue Diamond Resorts’ President Jordi Pelfort highlighted that this launch coincides with the company’s 15th anniversary in the all-inclusive sector and represents a forward-thinking concept that meets evolving guest expectations by blending luxury, creativity, and mindfulness. The resort also plans to provide complimentary airport shuttle service, enhancing the seamless, elevated guest experience.
