More About Barbados
Barbados is the easternmost island in the Caribbean and undoubtedly a firm favourite with holidaymakers. With its aquamarine waters, sugar-white sands, calypso rhythms, seemingly endless sunshine and ultra-laid-back atmosphere it keeps us Brits returning year after year. There‘s a wide selection of nightlife and restaurants to choose from along with a host of activities for the sports enthusiast including golf courses, surfing, diving, cricket and horse racing. This wonderful destination is a tale of two sides - the platinum west coast is graceful and cosmopolitan and home to some of the world’s most exquisite hotels, finest golf courses, excellent shopping boutiques and distinguished restaurants. Bridgetown, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the island's lively capital where you'll find plenty to see and do and it's one of the best spots for diving and discovering shipwrecks. Holetown has beautiful white sand beaches and a wonderful boardwalk. Speightstown is the second-largest town on the island and boasts and long and intriguing history. The east coast is wild with windswept palms and desolate yellow sands and is a surfer’s paradise. Hire a car to drive along and take in the dramatic scenery on the coastal road. Bathsheba lies in the parish of Saint Joseph and has some quaint churches to explore as well as a number of attractions nearby including the Botanical Gardens, the Barbados Flower Forest and the Cotton Tower Signal Station. It's also home to the major surfing spot known as the Soup Bowl. Foodies won't be disappointed either with a mouthwatering selection of fish and seafood available such as red snapper, shrimp and lobster. Make sure you try 'pepperpot', a delicious stewed meat dish bursting with flavours from spices and hot peppers. Plus, as Barbados is the birthplace of rum, you should follow your meal with a rum cocktail (or two)! Let Designer Travel help you plan an unforgettable break in Barbados.
