Barbados Beats...

Lively, sophisticated, friendly, rhythmic and perfect for travellers of every taste and budget. 

Welcome to Barbados, the Caribbean island that is big on personality, adventure, good vibes and world-famous rum. With lashings of warm Bajan hospitality, a host of water sports, award-winning restaurants and breathtaking white-sand beaches, holidays to Barbados are unlike any other. Pack in adventures full of authentic Caribbean experiences with our round-up of reasons to visit this incredible island. 

Best time to go

Barbados typically enjoys year-round warmth, with temperatures generally in the late 20s. The most popular time to visit is from December to April when the weather is dry and humidity is low. Crop Over Festival between June and August is another exciting time to discover the island as it celebrates the end of the sugar cane season.  

Food and drink

The “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean” certainly doesn’t disappoint across the board, from street food to fine dining experiences. Whether you’re after fresh seafood, coconut shrimp, Bajan fishcakes, spicy sauces and more, there’s a foodie experience to tickle your palate. Friday nights are for the legendary Oistin’s fish fry, known among both locals and tourists as the place to be. Wash it all down with rum, and make sure you take an exciting mixology session where you can learn to say sip, sip hooray to the perfect rum cocktail. An afternoon spent touring the iconic Mount Gay Rum Distilleries, the oldest existing rum brand in the world, is also perfect for those who want to enjoy guided tastings and learn more in a cocktail workshop.

Shop till you drop

If you love to shop, you will revel in Barbados’ options for duty-free shopping. Whatever your taste, Barbados offers plenty of retail therapy, from souvenirs to rum, jewelry, perfumes, clothing, crafts and more. What’s not to love?

Attractions

Barbados is jam-packed with attractions that leave you hungry for more. Top activities include historic sites, otherworldly caves, gardens, plantations and more. Hit the sea for exciting water adventures like snorkelling, diving, swimming and fishing. Wander down colourful St Lawrence Gap, taking in the restaurants and shops which make up this lively area in the south coast. Or, hop on a “reggae” bus for an authentic way to get around like a local. From beaches to rhythmic beats, there’s always something on in Barbados.
