Activities and Recreation at The St. James

Still not sure how to spend your time in Barbados? The St. James can provide everything needed to have an exciting time in their vibrant beachfront location. They offer plenty of recreational opportunities, so you'll have a whole list of activities to try.

Water and Fitness

Thanks to the hotel's proximity to the water, the fact that it doesn't have a swimming pool is barely noticed by most guests, who usually spend their time lounging beachside. Truthfully, even with access to a pool, many vacationers are so glad to lounge on sandy coast that they make little use of the swimming pool.

Fitness buffs won't have to put their routines on hold at this hotel; there is an on-site workout facility for health-conscious guests.

Tennis

Tennis enthusiasts will find an extra perk when booking this property, since the tennis facilities — located on-site — make for a fun afternoon outdoors that doesn't require travel time or extra funds. Guests will find 2 tennis courts on-site. Plus, the courts here are equipped with lighting so you'll never have to cut your match short.

Seeking more options like this? You may wish to compare this property to nearby hotels with this activity, including the Sandy Lane Hotel and the Royal Westmoreland.

Golf

Although the The St. James doesn't have a golf course on the property, you can always ask the hotel staff to recommend Barbados' best courses. The closest golf course is Sandy Lane Old Nine Golf Course, which is located a half mile north of this hotel.

Watersports

There are no watersports offered at this hotel, but in an area full of beach-happy tourists, it won't be hard to find places where you can hire an activity guide or equipment.

Family Activities

Vacationers traveling with kids might find exactly what they need at the The St. James, since it is stocked full of family-oriented amenities.

On the property, kids will be thrilled to find there is a playground just for them. It is a safe area for children to play and meet other guests their age while parents enjoy a bit of a breather. The hotel offers an organized kids' program, too. Some time during your stay at the The St. James, you may find yourself wanting to have some fun on your own, without worrying about the kids. The hotel provides a babysitting service, so that parents can have a chance for some peace and quiet, or a night out by themselves.

Vacationers who seek access to on-site entertainment won't find it here; live entertainment isn't offered by the The St. James.
