Luxe island living
Holidays in Barbados bring you the idyllic white sandy beaches and lively culture the Caribbean is so well known for, as well as some of the world’s best rums and a unique cuisine. There are 92 kilometres of beach to choose from, as well as sparkling blue waters for those who want to explore. Alternatively, head into the emerald green interiors and hike past waterfalls and little lagoons, taking in the striking natural beauty of the island.
The west coast of the island is home to the chic and elegant town of St James, where you’ll find a selection of upmarket restaurants to choose from. Enjoy fine dining as you choose from menus featuring international dishes and local favourites which include a unique blend of sweet and spicy flavours. Alternatively, simply take in the lively atmosphere of the local bars where you can listen to Caribbean music as you sip local rum cocktails. During the day, soak up the sun on white sandy beaches or head to one of the local golf courses.
It's no surprise that luxury holidays to Barbados come as standard, given the beautiful location you'll find yourself in. Immerse yourself in the serenity of the island and head to one of the white sandy beaches. If you want to enjoy a lively side of the island, St Lawrence Gap has some fantastic bars, restaurants, and dance halls, where you can dance away your evenings or try some of the island’s famous rum.
