About the Island & Getting There
About Barbados
At first glance you could be mistaken for thinking that Barbados is purely a beach holiday destination, but you're urged to reconsider this common belief. The island of Barbados is peppered with astonishing landscapes (both coastal and inland), enchanting locals, sublime cuisine, intriguing rums, fascinating wildlife, symbolic architecture and a selection of striking holiday villas.
Delve deep into the history of the island and start your holiday by visiting Sunbury Plantation House & Museum. This former plantation was built in 1660's and the premises are scattered with antiquities that delicately detail a recent history of Barbados. St. Nicholas Abbey also provides an insightful representation of Sugarcane production, Bajan artefacts and a wonderful observation point at Cherry Tree Hill. If you’re keen to visit one of the oldest Parliamentary buildings within the Commonwealth and appreciate the democratic legacy of Barbados, drop by The Parliament Buildings. This neo-gothic congress can be found in Bridgetown and act as a representation of Barbados’s Independence. There is so much history present throughout the island and as a result, Bridgetown and its Garrison has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, which the locals are very proud of.
Great efforts have been made to persevere the natural beauty of Barbados, so if you’re drawn to the exploration of National Parks and multicoloured gardens, it won’t take you long to realise that Barbados is a haven for such paradises! Within the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Farley Hill National Park, Flower Forest, Hunte's Gardens and Welchman Hall Gully - visitors, and Botanist alike, will be lost for hours admiring these astonishing botanical parklands. Keep an eye out for the Dwarf Poinciana, or Peacock Flower…it’s the national flower of Barbados.
Bajan’s take their food very seriously! If you and your fellow travellers are enticed by the gastronomic aspect of holidaying, we believe you’ve selected the right island. With every aspect of cookery mastered; from pickling to freshly prepared dishes, sweet & savoury, fragrant & spicy and of course, the bountiful choice of seafood. Check out the food stalls in Paynes Bay Church – where vendors exhibit locally made dishes & street food that will scintillate the taste buds. At the end of every working week, locals and tourists both flock to Oistins, for 'Fish Fry Day'. This is a must for those who haven’t undergone the experience! The evening starts with barbecues and then ascends into a joyful party. This caps off a busy few days of work for locals as well as the 'strains' associated with serious holidaying.
Barbados is of course iconic for its Beaches & Rum…so why not bring them together? You will have to go out of your way not to be able to find a beach bar along the west coast of the island, as well as the countless Rum Shops. Yes, you’ve read correctly, Rum Shops! These small and locally run businesses embrace the Bajan spice of life, in liquid form. Very delicious! If you’re searching for something a little more special, take a trip to the east coast and visit Sand Dunes Bar and Restaurant at Windy Hill, for an unforgettable experience.
Barbados is a distinct and striking part of the Caribbean. It’s a great fit for all types of travellers, as the island really does have it all. For a little more information about this delightful island, check out our guide to a remarkable stay!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesBarbados is an ideal place to travel with children because there is something for everyone to enjoy. It’s also a place for children to learn and embrace a beautiful new culture, with locals who are more than happy to share and welcome holiday goers.
This villa is a great place for families, what more could you want for your children than a home away from home that features a state-of-the-art cinema, watersports equipment and so much more. Children can roam around the villa’s gardens, spend all day swimming in the private pool, play on the private Cove Beach or explore the gully. Once they’re tried out, they can relax in the cinema that comes with 150+ films, and also connects to Apple TV and Netflix – you won’t hear a peep out of them for hours.
For families travelling with children, the Tea House is the ideal cottage to call home, as it features a king bed and two Murphy beds. There are many other room options, spread around the house so you can decide upon the best place to dub the children’s area.
There’s plenty to do around the villa as well, as the villa is located close to the two main towns in Barbados – Speightstown and Bridgetown. Both areas offer plenty for families, from getting up close and personal with animals and nature at Barbados Wildlife Reserve or Welch Hall Gully to cultural offerings such as the countless museums in the area. Of course, what is a trip to Bali without hours spend on the beach, building sandcastles and frolicking in the surf. There are many family-friendly beaches in the area, other than the private cove at your villa of course, including Holetown Beach, Gibbs Beach, Paynes Bay Beach and Heywoods Beach.

Wonderful & Incredible
Our week in Barbados was truly wonderful and it was such a great way for us all to reunite. The food was incredible (maybe the best ever!). We enjoyed every bite, espeially the delicious fish. We had really fun boat rides with Trevor! Marlon, Keith and Ian made each day special with little treats by the pool, our beach picnic, and lots of rum punch to go around. Many thanks and best wishes to all of the staff, who make the experience so magical.

Have just celebrated my 60th Birthday with my family and close friends at Crystal Springs. What can I say ? from the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the Amanda and her team and felt at home immediately. This place lived up to all our expectations and more!! Every staff member greeted us all every day with a big smile and happy manner - you can tell they are happy with their work and this means a lot as it gives a great atmosphere. We have travelled the world and can sincerely say that this was the best holiday ever!! from the cleanliness of the rooms to the great cooking by the chefs and the interaction from the staff all contributed to ensuring that all our needs were catered for. The owners of this beautiful villa have got it spot on. The only downside to this holiday was having to leave - we cannot get used to being home and will be returning without doubt - so be ready - this is a warning to the staff - we have a new megaphone - you know what that means!! On a personal note to the owner we wish to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share your wonderful home and to congratulate you for employing such genuine and committed staff who made our stay even more special - we loved every minute!! Thank you again for a wonderful stay A*!
