Barbados Holidays

Aside from the convenience, a Barbados holiday offers exotic beach life, great restaurants, outstanding landscapes and famously warm friendly locals. Barbados is fringed by coral reefs which makes it perfect for scuba diving and snorkelling. The tropical climate and light trade winds make for a perfect beach holiday. Why not take a tour and swim with turtles or go whale and dolphin watching?

Nightlife

There are no shortage of great restaurants in Barbados offering a unique Caribbean and European blend. Seafood comes high on the menu, whilst beef, pork and chicken dishes are cooked superbly in both the Caribbean and European traditions. Names such as Amanda's Creole Cuisine, Cuz's Fish Shack and Buzo Osteria Italiana go some way to demonstrating the diversity of the fare on offer.

The nightlife in Barbados is equally varied, offering something for everyone, from dinner shows, to reggae concerts to European style karaoke and clubs. The Bajan Roots and Rhythm dinner show offers both local food and a spectacular show typical of the musical and dance traditions of Barbados. A visit to Barbados isn't complete without visiting The Boatyard which is a great beachside venue perfect for lazing on the beach or taking advantage of their water activities and trampolines. They also serve great food and cocktails, and also have bands playing in the evening.

Landscape

The landscape in Barbados varies greatly: rocky coastlines contrast with sandy beaches, whilst rich green parks and forests meet with banana plantations. Typically, a reminder of home resides in the many large cultivated parks, resplendent with long green lawns and well kept shrubs. Whether you wish to stroll, hike, or just loll, your holiday in Barbados is sure to be remembered for the diversity of the landscape.

Barbados is an island located in the Western Atlantic and forms part of the Lesser Antilles chain of islands. Ruled by the British Empire for nearly 300 years, it has a strong British influence, sometimes being referred to by its colonial nickname 'Little England'. Here everything from British style formal suits to cricket, to gin and tonic can be found in a climate the Britons can only dream of when at home!

The Barbadians (or Bajans) have been ever loyal to Britain, sending a telegram to the U.K. at the outbreak of World War Two in 1939 reading: "Don't Worry. Little England is with you!" You can be sure that you'll be made to feel welcome in Barbados - the perfect choice for your Caribbean holidays!
