Sol Barbados at a Glance

Why Stay at Sol Barbados?

A large family-oriented hotel close to Calvià/Magaluf Beach, best known for its WaterLand area with splash features, slides and children’s pools. It combines a classic All Inclusive resort set-up with kids’ clubs and a busy entertainment programme.

For a Build Your Own Holiday, the hotel works as the accommodation anchor: choose the room and board basis you want, then compare flights, baggage and transfer options separately. That can be especially useful when you want control over flight times or departure airport.

Rooms & Accommodation

The hotel has modern rooms with balconies and categories that can include pool or sea views. Family room configurations add more sleeping space for parents travelling with children.

Room names, maximum occupancy and included extras can vary by booking provider, so check the exact room description before paying – especially if you need connecting rooms, a sea view, an accessible room or a specific bed configuration.

Swimming Pools & Sun Terraces

The stand-out feature is WaterLand, a child-focused pool area with splash play, bridges, waterfalls and slides. There are also adult swimming areas and several children’s pools, so different ages can use separate water spaces.

Pool opening dates, lifeguard hours, heating and access to premium areas can be seasonal. If the pool set-up is a deciding factor for your holiday, confirm what will be operating on your travel dates.

Restaurants, Bars & All Inclusive

A large international buffet restaurant forms the core of the All Inclusive meal plan, supported by two bars including an outdoor/pool-focused bar. Snacks, drinks and exact service times vary by package and season.

What to check before booking All Inclusive

All Inclusive normally covers the core buffet meals plus a defined selection of snacks and drinks, but branded drinks, speciality restaurants, late-night service and premium venues are not always included. Check the current supplier description for your exact dates and room/board package.

Entertainment, Sports & Wellness

Daytime sports, pool activities, family games, shows and live music are typical parts of the programme. Guests also have easy access to Magaluf’s attractions and can reach the beach in a couple of minutes.

Daytime classes, live shows, sports timetables and spa access can be seasonal or carry local charges. The current hotel or booking-provider programme is the best source for exact timings during your stay.

Magaluf: Beach, Resort & Location

Magaluf Beach – a broad sandy bay with watersports and a long promenade.

The hotel gives you a base for both resort days and wider Majorca sightseeing. Hiring a car is not essential in the main resorts, but it can make beaches, villages and inland attractions much easier to combine.
