Barbados is the place for you if you value tradition combined with a warm welcome from people who know how to have a good time.

Come find an island steeped in history, with beaches that seem to never end, and discover some of the finest watersport opportunities in the Caribbean.

The island has its very own gold coast for swimmers, named after the fabulous sands. Visitors come from all over the world to take part in windsurfing, surfing and sail boarding competitions. Sports fans can also play golf and tennis and watch some of the world’s best cricketers.

Visitors from Britain will find other reminders of home, from the wigs and robes worn in parliament, to the statue of Nelson in Trafalgar Square. The architecture in the capital of Bridgetown and second largest town, Speightstown, and names such as Brighton beach also offer many reminders of links between the two nations.

The biggest annual event in Barbados is the Crop Over Festival, celebrating the harvest of sugar cane, formerly the island's main industry. The five-week summer celebration is a fiesta of colourful floats, parades and people in costume dancing and enjoying themselves to the background of music and fireworks. It also offers the opportunity to taste the finest island cuisine, including the national dish of Flying fish and Cou-cou. Everyone is encouraged to join in. Music lovers can hear the world's best artists at the annual Paint it Jazz festival.

Many of the grand homes built by the sugar kings are open to the public. Plantation mansions such as Sam Lord’s Castle contain many of their original gilt and mahogany fittings. You can still see a working sugar plantation on Arbib Nature and Heritage trail and all over the island you will find rolling green fields for a relaxed stroll.

If you prefer formal settings, there are the famous cliff-set Andromeda Gardens. The finest hotels are also positioned in beautifully planned tropical landscapes.

And if you're still raring to go when evening comes there is another Barbados of waterfront restaurants, nightlife, music, gaming – and more than 1,000 rum shops to consider.

Barbados has a wonderful climate, great beaches and a variety of good quality restaurants and bars as well as lively nightlife in the south of the island. Barbados is the most easterly island in the Caribbean chain and as a former British colony, it retains many familiar characteristics. Don't be surprised when you stumble across Nelson's column in the main Square or strangely familiar place names such as Hastings or Scotland!

The famed west coast offers white sand beaches lapped with warm, turquoise waters and some of the most sophisticated hotels in the Caribbean. South of the capital, Bridgetown, the coast boasts palm fringed beaches and foaming surf, a combination favoured by windsurfers and beach lovers alike. The east of the island provides a dramatic contrast with the rugged beauty of the treacherous Atlantic coast.

Venture away from the resorts and there is much to captivate you, from familiar cricket grounds, plantation houses and a multitude of nature reserves. What's more the Bajan people are full of life and are renowned for their warmth and hospitality, creating an all-round carnival atmosphere.

Barbados is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands, a coral and limestone-capped isle lying in the path of cooling trade winds. Though the island measures only 34 km (21 miles) by 22 (14), its shores are blessed with almost 100 km (60 miles) of shimmering white strands. The dramatic, windswept east coast is washed by Atlantic waves and dotted with huge boulders—a photographer's dream—while the tranquil Caribbean beaches of the west coast, edged with palms, are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing.

We also have a wide range of Luxury Villas In The Caribbean.
