Welcome to
Fairmont Royal Pavilion

A multi-million dollar renovation at Fairmont Royal Pavilion has dramatically changed the hotel’s guest rooms and raised the bar for luxury hospitality in Barbados. In November 2017 the restoration, designed to significantly enhance the facilities of the Fairmont Royal Pavilion, Barbados was completed with the unveiling of newly restored guest rooms - all which are directly beach front.

Fairmont Royal Pavilion is delighted to announce that it has received a British Airways Holidays Customer Excellence Award for 2020, despite it being one of the most challenging years in the industry.
