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 AgesThis villa is only suitable for children over the age of 12, however, it is a great space for families with older children because there’s plenty of space for the whole family to have their dream holiday. Located inland in a gated community, this villa offers stunning gardens, a spacious home and a private pool - what more could you want on holiday.
This villa has everything you, and the kids, could need. Whether holiday time is a no-phone zone or if scrolling and gaming is allowed, there is WiFi offered at the villa as well as iPod compatible stereos in each bedroom. If a little downtime is needed, movie night can be had in the living room which boasts a large television and plenty of seating space for the whole family.
Barbados has something to offer all aged children travellers, from those who are happy building sandcastles all day to those who want a little adventure and exploration. The best family-friendly beaches include Mullins Bay, Bathsheba and Paynes Bay, all of which have plenty of space for lazing by the sea and a spot of sports, as well as safe oceans and some even offer useful amenities such as change rooms, cafes and restaurants.
This villa is also near Holetown, a small town that offers international brand shopping, banks, vibrant nightlife and an excellent choice of restaurants.
Travelling with older children, it’s exciting to give them a little education in the local culture. The Barbados Museum is well worth a visit, it offers countless tales of Bajan history including child-friendly exhibits in the Children’s Gallery. You can also immerse yourself in a local experience at the Oistins Friday Night Fish Fry. Bajans put on a show with their Caribbean dance moves to live reggae, and guests indulge in the island’s specialty, flying fish.
