Location
About the surrounding area of AustrinusThe home of beautiful white sand beaches, championship golf courses and high-end nightlife and shopping, the St James area on Barbados’ west coast is a special place. Known as the ‘platinum coast’, there’s a lot to discover, particularly around Holetown.
A prestigious development in the heart of Holetown, the Limegrove centre brings shopping, dining and entertainment together. It’s filled with designer boutiques carrying all the labels you’ll know, as well as an array of great restaurants. It also houses the area’s best cinema and hosts regular live events from music concerts to art shows.
Beachfront walks are another great reason to visit Holetown, and they are particularly spectacular if you happen to be there at sunset. You can stop for a bite at eateries like Zaccios and Tides which occupy some of the prime ocean-view locations along the way.
The Holetown Festival comes around each February and is a wide-ranging and lively celebration, with fashion shows, vintage car parades, sporting events and a Police Tattoo. For a bit of excitement, the rest of the year, head down to First and Second Street where you will find an array of clubs and bars offering an upscale night out.
South of the town, you will find stunning beaches like Sandy Lane and Payne’s Bay. It won’t be long until you find yourself in Bridgetown – the island’s historic capital city is around 11km away. To the north, you will find Speightstown, a less developed destination with a real Bajan vibe, where you can enjoy fish fry nights or visits to its museum of gallery of Caribbean art.

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!
