Royalton Luxury Resorts has launched Royalton Vessence, a new adults-oriented brand that reimagines the all-inclusive experience.

Royalton Vessence Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort – Adults Only will be the first property to bring the new brand vision to life. It will debut in summer 2026 at a resort formerly introduced as Royalton CHIC Barbados.

“We’re truly excited to introduce our new brand at a time when we celebrate 15 years of trajectory in the all-inclusive industry,” said Jordi Pelfort, president, Blue Diamond Resorts. “This reflects everything we do best. We create forward-thinking concepts that speak to evolving guest expectations while pushing the boundaries of what an adults-oriented escape can be. From being the first in the region to offer late-night swimming under the stars to introducing designed spaces for digital detox and reconnection, this is about embracing what matters most in new and meaningful ways.” 

Located on the island’s Platinum Coast, Royalton Vessence Barbados will offer a blend of coastal elegance and Caribbean soul. Highlights of the resort include:

• Diamond Club™ suite category with butler service, access to exclusive areas, and premium benefits;
• Chairman Suites decorated with art pieces;
• The Studio, a signature space at the heart of the resort, offering hands-on workshops in art, pottery, and culinary creativity by day, and live jazz and acoustic performances in the evening;
• glow-lit pools for late-night swimming under the stars;
• dedicated spaces for digital detox created to encourage conversation and reflection;
• artwork that tells the story of the destination, including rotating exhibitions by regional artists;
• and Moddo by Royalton FIT, a holistic wellness program featuring yoga, breathwork, and expressive movement sessions led by expert coaches.

Royalton Vessence Barbados will also be the first resort in the destination to offer guests complimentary airport shuttle service.

“We’ve been deeply inspired by the creativity, energy, and warmth of Barbados,” added Pelfort. “This brand was created to bring each destination to life through every experience at the resort. From the artwork on the walls to the music that plays after sunset, it’s all about living the culture without ever having to leave the hotel.”
