Barbados TRAVEL GUIDE AND DEALS

Pear-shaped Barbados, long popular with fishermen and royalty, offers glittering beaches, equally sparkling resorts, and striking seascapes lined with hulking boulders and cave-strewn cliffs. From afternoon tea and cricket to landscaped gardens and preserved Victorian architecture, the island’s English heritage remains pronounced.

Why Go

Experience the British high-life infused with West Indian culture, lots of sunshine, and superb hospitality.

Barbados Hotels

Barbados is one of the Caribbean’s pricier destinations thanks to its plethora of high-quality, Old World British resorts which, unlike many tropical destinations, tend not to offer all-inclusive options (expect nightly rates to top $700). The rugged East Coast is dotted with homey, family-run inns, while the south coast is known for affordable apartments (although rare, we have identified a few quality properties that provide rooms for under $150 per night).Top-notch villas and condos exist throughout island and are often the best choice for large groups and families spending more than a week in paradise.

Barbados Restaurants

Barbados is that rare destination where hotels take great pride in their dining rooms. Expect yummy fare from beach, sidewalk, and roadside vendors, including the ubiquitous fried flying fish and conch fritters. Befitting the cosmopolitan international crowd, you’ll also find a U.N. of culinary options.
