The pear shaped coral island of Barbados is recognised around the world for its sheer natural beauty, rich culture and delightful climate. With the Caribbean Sea lapping its tranquil shimmering white beaches on the west coast, and the Atlantic waves creating a dramatic, windswept coastline dotted with huge boulders on the East Coast, we invite you to discover the diversity of this destination, often regarded as the "Little England" of the Caribbean.
Barbados offers an impressive range of historic sites, such as old plantation houses, superb botanical gardens at Andromeda, military forts and signal stations at Gun Hill and Grenade Hall. Away from the mostly gentle rolling landscape discover striking scenery in hidden caves, cliffs and gullies. Set on Carlisle Bay, Bridgetown - the capital is worthy of exploration. It's an architectural mishmash of colonial and modern, with side streets full of residences, gothic parliament buildings, an Anglican cathedral, rum shops and chattel houses. The west coast bestows brilliant white sandy beaches edged with palm trees- perfect for swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing.
