It’s definitely not a coincidence that couples-focused Sandals Resorts and the family-oriented brand Beaches Resorts are rolling out a winter sale (and a holiday-specific deal) right about the time we’re starting to think about the cold season ahead. And what’s on offer gives an all-inclusive vacation a real affordability boost.

Unlike some of the brands’ sales, this Winter Escapes sale is good at all Sandals and Beaches Resorts. There’s also a Holiday Week Special, a sort of sale-within-the-sale that I particularly like because if you’ve ever tried to find any sort of deal during holiday periods, you know it’s next to impossible.
Sandals and Beaches winter sale details
The sale runs now through November 4. Here’s the breakdown:
At Sandals Resorts, the Winter Escapes sale gives you up to $1,000 off the total cost plus a bonus free night on seven-night stays (basically, pay for six, get seven). If you’re wondering what “up to” is about, it’s that bookings of seven nights get up to $1,000 off while six-night stays get up to $775 off. There are also incremental discounts on stays of four and five nights.
Meanwhile at Beaches, the winter sale has three parts:
- Up to 65% off regular rates at all three resorts for stays of three nights or longer,
- One free night at the two Jamaica Beaches resorts ( and) with bookings of six nights or longer,
- An additional discount depending on the number of nights. So it’s $400 stays of seven nights or more, $335 off six nights, or $135 off three nights.
Parallel to the Winter Escapes sale is the Holiday Week Special, which gives guests a free night on stays of four or five nights at any Sandals Resort or either of the Beaches Resort destinations in Jamaica. Like the other sale, you’ll need to book by November 4 to get the deal.
Which resort: Beaches or Sandals?
Beaches has amazing offerings for families, but is also great for couples and adult groups (I went last year with my two sisters and had a fantastic time). There are currently three Beaches resorts, two of which are in Jamaica: Beaches Ocho Rios, Beaches Negril in Jamaica plus Beaches Turks and Caicos.
Sandals, which is adults-only and geared toward blissfully relaxing beach vacations for couples, delivers an upscale all-inclusive experience at its 17 resorts in some of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beach destinations.
RIGHT FIT FOR YOU: How to choose the best Beaches Resorts
Here’s what’s true about both Beaches and Sandals: More than most, they’re an all-inclusive resorts that feel ultra-generous, and include, among other things, water and land sports, specialty restaurants, and premium spirits.
Who is this sale best for?
The best savings are for people booking for five or seven nights, but since weeklong stays are pretty standard at both Sandals and Beaches (a lot of activities and events built around the assumption that guests will have a full week to experience it all), this deal will be a good one for a lot of people.
