WELCOME
Welcome to Barbados, famed for its easy-going relaxed lifestyle, where a strong sense of history and culture fuses with a sophisticated tourism product. Quality hotels and restaurants, supported by an array of bars and nightclubs almost guarantee that a successful night out will be had by all. Second Street in Holetown is a must and St Lawrence Gap is still buzzing. Pristine sandy beaches and glass-clear water are hemmed with palms and vibrant flora on a backdrop of impressive 18th-century colonial streetscapes, like in the capital, Bridgetown. Land-based attractions run from lush botanical gardens and historic plantation houses to sumptuous tropical spas and first-rate golf. Who hasn’t heard of Sandy Lane? But there is also Polo, Holders and Cricket.
