Situated just east of the Caribbean Sea, Barbados is a coral island boasting some of the most breathtaking stretches of white sand beaches imaginable. But there’s more to this Caribbean gem than sun and sea.
Away from the luxury resorts and sunworshippers is where you’ll find what makes the island really special. Central Barbados has a rolling terrain of limestone hills and amid this lush scenery you can find some fascinating remnants of the island’s colonial past.
Barbados’ wild Atlantic-battered east coast is a hot spot for surfers, and the island is perfect for those looking for action, with activities such as wind-surfing, hiking, diving and more available to enjoy. Barbados is a great package of sun, sea, nature and adventure, and despite its popularity, you’ll have no trouble making it your own. Away from the glitz, it’s still a place to enjoy island rhythms, vibes and world-famous rums.
Half a million people can’t be wrong. That’s the number of visitors who flock to Barbados annually, and after a visit, it doesn’t take long to see why they come by the planeload: Barbados’ turquoise waters, white sand, stunning scenery and warm climate is the stuff dreams are made of.
