SAMPLE ITINERARY

 

Linked to London with regular direct flights, Barbados is a Commonwealth country that offers a truly magnificent Caribbean holiday experience.

Historic Bridgetown is the capital, with a well-preserved Old Town dating from the 17th century. The Bridgetown Garrison is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is well worth exploring. You can also see the Parliament buildings here and shop at an array of duty-free shops and local stalls that sell just about everything.

The western Platinum Coast has attracted the rich and famous for years, with palm-fringed white sandy beaches lapped by millpond waters, aquamarine bays, sophisticated hotels, world class restaurants and a tropical interior. The fashionable beaches of St James is where you’ll find the crème de la crème of luxury hotels and restaurants. The main town is historic Holetown, which was the first settlement in Barbados.

The rugged east coast feels like a completely different island, with its Atlantic breakers that draw in the surfers. At Bathsheba you can take in the dramatic scenery as turbulent waves pound the beaches.

Oistins is a bustling fishing town on the south coast, where you can enjoy fresh fish, sample some local rum and sway to irresistible calypso music. St Lawrence Gap, also on the south coast, is the nightlife capital of the island, buzzing with bars, live music and restaurants.

Located in the north of the island, Speightstown offers a unique view of the architectural heritage of Barbados. Spend half a day browsing the shops, visiting the art gallery or eating at one of the many great restaurants.

Cricket is the national sport and polo is played to a very high level, with several clubs dotted about the island. Barbados is also wonderful for golf, particularly at secluded Sandy Lane. A short drive from the west coast, but a world away from its hustle and bustle, Royal Westmoreland is another golfer’s paradise, with exclusive villas dotted around a championship course.

Sea turtles bob along the waves and schools of colourful fish swim in the lagoon, while on land the botanical gardens offer tropical sights, sounds and smells. You can absorb the grace and elegance of historic plantation houses, or board the Atlantis submarine.

When it comes to Barbados, you will never be hungry. You can dine on the freshest seafood at world-famous eateries like The Cliff, Cin Cin by the Sea and Lone Star, followed by a locally brewed Banks beer or Mount Gay rum cocktail.

Lively but laid-back, Barbados is definitely an island for foodies and music. Whether you’re a mellow music lover, or want to party the night away, a mix of steel drums, soca and the annual Jazzfest offer something for everyone.
