RIU Hotels & Resorts was founded in Mallorca, Spain, in 1953 as a small summer business for the
Riu family, and is currently owned and run by the third generation of the family. The company’s
business is focused on the holiday hotel sector and nearly 70% of its establishments offer the
renowned ‘All Inclusive by RIU’ service.
With the opening of its first city hotel in 2010, RIU extended its range of products with its own
line of city hotels called Riu Plaza. RIU Hotels & Resorts has over 100 hotels in 16 countries, and
employs over 27,107 people. Last year its hotels welcomed a total of 3.5 million guests.
RIU is characterised by its firm commitment to quality, by offering its guests carefully-designed
facilities in the very best beach destinations, varied and attentively-prepared cuisine, and a
highly personal service that is second to none. RIU’s staff are what distinguishes it from its
competitors. They are the hotel chain’s most valuable asset and their greatest source of pride.
We are Sandals Resorts.
We’ve always celebrated our home and everything that makes us quintessentially Caribbean.

We know the Caribbean because we are the Caribbean. Born and raised here, we love sharing our home with the world. Our deep knowledge of the region’s natural beauty and vibrant culture helps us bring guests closer. As we've grown, we've remained true to our founder's vision - to do things right and care for each other, our guests, and the islands we call home.
Our resorts are home to over 18,000 team members who bring passion to every experience and help to create memories that last a lifetime.
