Barbados remains one of the most desirable vacation destinations in the world, making the island a real favourite among discerning travellers. Its natural beauty encompasses sparkling azure seas, white sandy beaches, pastoral landscapes and charming villages; while the east coast, wild and untouched, is a surfer’s paradise.
Drawn by the wealth of
accommodation including luxury hotels with relaxing spas, palatial beach side villas, all-inclusive resorts and self-catering options, Barbados is home-from-home for many returning visitors who love its culture and charm, the friendliness of
the Barbadian people, the multitude of activities and the great entertainment. Complementing this is the island’s gastronomic appeal to food-lovers. It is the first and only Caribbean destination to be Zagat rated. This famous restaurant guide shows the quality and diversity of dining on the island.
The island’s exceptionally rich culture and heritage is reflected in a full year of events covering the Barbados Jazz Festival, Gospelfest, Holders Season and Crop Over. Island tours and walks also offer an insight into the island’s history, with international sporting events featuring racing, golf, cricket and polo.
