With its luxury hotels, fabulous palm-fringed beaches and wonderful choice of activities, it’s no surprise that Barbados remains one of our clients’ most favoured holiday destinations. Here you can savour the true tropical experience within the unique ‘Bajan’ atmosphere that makes Barbados so special. The island offers everything from magnificent, tranquil beaches to dramatic cliffs, beautifully rugged, rolling hills and picture-perfect golf courses.

Out and About
Whether you come here to relax in the sun or enjoy the superb watersports, nightlife and other activities, Barbados has so much to offer. Here are just a few suggested activities:

• Oistins, a fishing village on the south coast, is the place to be on Friday evenings when they serve succulent seafood in a great party atmosphere.

• Let your children swim with turtles on a luxury catamaran cruise, or take a trip on the Atlantis Submarine.

• Explore the island’s grand plantation houses or the impressive Harrison’s Cave.

• See the Barbados Green Monkey and other exotic animals at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve.

• Visit Bridgetown, the island’s capital, with its historic public buildings, colourful harbour and fine boutiques.

• Take a drive along the rugged Atlantic east coast.

• The Andromeda Botanic Gardens boast an excellent collection of indigenous tropical plants and flowers.

• A day trip to the Grenadines is unforgettable.You can breakfast on magical Mustique and take a catamaran cruise around the fabulous Tobago Cays.

Food and Drink
Bajan cuisine is a deliciously spicy combination of European, African and Asian influences.The island has a real passion for fresh seafood, but watch out for the local pepper sauce – it’s seriously hot! There’s an abundance of delicious tropical fruits and the chance to wash it all down with the locally brewed Banks’ beer and the legendary Mount Gay rum.

Dining out can be smart or barefoot, with reservations essential in high season. We highly recommend The Cliff, simply the best restaurant in the Caribbean. But you’ll be spoilt for choice as we can also recommend the contemporary Lone Star Garage, Daphne’s, Sassafras, The Tides and The Fish Pot. For real Bajan cuisine, Angry Annie’s and Ragamuffins in Holetown are great fun. Or sample the widely acclaimed Pisces at St Lawrence Gap, Zen at the Crane or Champers overlooking Accra Beach.
