Sandals Cay, Private island near Montego Bay, Jamaica
Sandals Cay is a private island near Montego Bay featuring white sand beaches with clear water, accessible by boat in just two minutes from Sandals Royal Caribbean resort. The island offers a Thai restaurant, Balinese-style pools, beach cabanas, and spa treatments for guests.
The island was acquired by Sandals Resorts International in the 1980s and transformed from a simple offshore spot into a luxury destination. This development added a separate retreat component to the resort experience.
The Royal Thai Restaurant on the island brings Caribbean surroundings together with Southeast Asian cooking traditions, where Thai chefs prepare specialized meals for diners.
Guests can reach the island through regular boat transfers from the main resort, with services running from early morning until late evening. The short travel time makes it easy to spend the day moving between the island and main resort facilities.
The island features Balinese-style pools and beach cabanas paired with spa treatments using local Jamaican ingredients such as island sand. This blend of Asian and Caribbean elements creates an unusual wellness experience found nowhere else in the region.
