Today Barbados is a cosmopolitan country with a strong character of its own. It is prosperous and progressive and still full of natural charm. The people are friendly, fun loving and warm. Discover an island of dreams, an intimate respite from the day to day you'll always remember. Follow sandy beaches and turquoise Caribbean waters to the west, rugged coastline to the north, pounding Atlantic surf to the east with grassy sugar cane fields surrounding historic Great House Plantations. You'll also find villages and cosmopolitan Bridgetown, museums & landmarks, & unparalleled sights amidst wildlife reserves, flower forests and fields with gullies. |
The history of the island will tempt you further. Enjoy the ocean views from the manicured lawns of our plantation houses, shop for souvenirs in the centuries-old, brightly painted chattel homes. Take a break from the sun, and step into our cool parks and forests for an afternoon. The Barbadian green monkey lives here, as do tortoises, agoutis and many more animals.
Also known for having some of the best nightlife of the Caribbean no matter what your tastes, your evening is sure to be a great time on this little island. From all night Bajan roots and rhythms to romantic moonlit cruises for two – there is a range of entertainment to suit everyone’s needs.
Whether it’s savouring the delights of the fish fry and dancing in the streets in Oistins at night, Rum tasting in one of the Islands many distilleries or simply chilling on one of the stunning white coral sand beaches – Barbados really does have it all.
