Earlier this year, Virgin Holidays announced they would be launching the world’s first such facility in Barbados, allowing customers to maximise their holiday and lap up every last drop of sunshine before having to catch a flight home.
Now the facility on Brownes Beach is up and running and popular with holidaymakers.
Most flights out of Barbados don’t leave until the evening, and with many travellers required to check out at midday, hours of precious holiday time were being lost at the airport.
Now, Virgin’s customers are able to hang out on a private, branded area of beach, sipping their drinks and taking a final swim in the sea before flying back home.
Along with sun loungers, there’s a restaurant and bar, shower facilities, complimentary towels, an air-conditioned lounge, a gaming room and Wi-Fi. A transfer will collect you from your hotel after breakfast and take any hold luggage directly to the airport. Then, all you have to do is check in at the beach and relax for the day. Staff will let you know once it’s time to wave goodbye, transferring you to your flight.
Entry is complimentary for any customers staying at Savannah Beach in Barbados or those on a Virgin Cruise that terminates in Barbados. Other customers can add The Departure Beach to their booking from £25.
