Luxury St. Lawrence Gap Holidays

Rum and reggae

St. Lawrence Gap

Set on Barbados' south coast, St. Lawrence Gap probably ticks off every box on your Caribbean retreat wishlist. By day, relax on white-sand beaches and cool off with a spot of snorkelling (this area is packed with tropical fish), and when the sun goes down, embrace your inner Bajan with a night on the town. Make a beeline for The Gap (as hip as its nickname), a road lined with restaurants, rum shacks and clubs. Tuck in to a fresh fish supper, before ordering a rum punch or two and soaking up the atmosphere. For those who like to show off their moves, the nightclubs in the area play a variety of music genres, from reggae to dance. You’re only 10 minutes’ drive from Bridgetown, too, so exploring the island’s historic capital is nice and easy.
