Have You Vacationed in Barbados Yet?
Indulge your senses in the luxurious splendor that is Barbados. From the simple yet artistic beauty of its sandy white beaches to the bustling sounds of the market district in Bridgetown, the exotic flavor of this Caribbean will entice you and urge you to explore all that it has to offer.
See the surfers dot the waves of the windy and wild Eastern coast , their surfboards creating a festival of colors across the horizon, or the majestic sandstone and coral cliffs as they rise from the water. If you are into a calmer, gentler ocean, try the south-west and west coast near the capital of Bridgetown, where the water is filled with tropical fish and sea turtles (and the occasional shipwreck). Go back in time and explore the limestone coral caves found at the innermost part of the island at Harrison’s Cave. Indulge your inner pirate and sail on a catamaran or a modern day pirate ship. Finish it off with a tour of the Mount Gay rum distillery, home of the oldest, finest and smoothest rum on the planet!
Hear the laughter and happy chatter of the Bajan people as they go on about their day, their enthusiasm for life is absolutely contagious! Listen to the soothing crash of the waves against coral rocks jutting out towards the sea from your hotel or luxury villa, creating a decadent rhythm with promises of heaven as it calms your mind. Dance to the beat of Caribbean music that flows through The Gap, bringing the night alive . The Gap, short for the St. Lawrence Gap, is the home to tourists and locals alike who like to dance, hear live music or just enjoy a cocktail. McBride’s is a favorite among tourists and plays a mix of modern and island music. If you are really lucky, you may end up there on pumping Wednesday or Thursday night. If you want a more relaxing and gentle evening, wander over to the Boatyard, where the beach awaits you, as well as all you can drink rum and coke.
Taste and surrender your palate to the succulent delights of world class restaurants including The Cliff, which consistently ranks among the best restaurants in the Caribbean. Enjoy five star dining here at the most romantic spot on Barbados and be sure to get there before sundown, so you can be treated to a beautiful sunset before dinner. Go for a more relaxed evening at Champers, a more affordable seaside dining experience on the island’s south coast. Be sure to try the flying fish at the Friday night Oistins Fish Fry, a local delicacy that is enjoyed in a variety of ways by the locals, from fried in a bun to part of an elaborate main dish.
Smell the clean Caribbean air, fresh from a pre-dawn shower with the winds rolling in from the Atlantic and the Caribbean with the promise of another relaxing, sun drenched day.
Feel the soft, sun warmed sand between your toes as you walk along the pristine white sand beaches of Barbados. Allow yourself to be enveloped in the warmth and zest for life that flows freely across the island. The people of Barbados welcome you and invite you to share the exquisite charm of their island home with a Barbados vacation!
