Ultra Luxury Barbados Holidays
Perfect for honeymooning couples and families looking for long-haul fun in the sun, the island’s abundant resorts and hotels cater to every kind of traveller. Barbados promises a luxury beach holiday like no other with jaw-dropping scenery, delectable island cuisine, and the smoothest spirits you’ll ever taste—after all, this is the birthplace of rum!
Plunge into the Bajan culture and absorb its rich heritage through food, sights, and entertainment. St. Lawrence Gap – ‘The Gap’ to locals – is synonymous with the island’s nightlife and is home to an abundance of tantalising barbecue eateries that you’ve got to try.
Its water sports activities are second to none, with near-perfect weather conditions all year round. Dive and snorkel beneath the azure Caribbean Sea or glide along the glittering surface for some non-motorised pursuits such as paddle-boarding, windsurfing or kayaking. And if you fancy taking a leaf out of James Bond’s book for a faster pace, crank up the adrenaline with an array of motorised water sports like jet-skiing and parasailing.
Barbados is a tropical haven waiting to be explored. Go on an island tour and soak up the sights or hire a car and explore at your own pace. Did you know, driving is on the left in Barbados, so navigating the roads is much simpler? Get your explorer’s hat on at Harrison’s Cave, the island’s underground natural wonder, wander the streets of the capital city Bridgetown and pretty Holetown, and head up to Cherry Tree Hill for spectacular views over the island and beyond.

Barbados In A Nutshell
Hire a car and journey around the island to discover its rich history and cultural landmarks. St. John’s Parish Church is a beautiful 17th-century gothic-inspired church—one of the oldest in Barbados—that has been rebuilt over the years due to fires and hurricanes. Set high up in St. John, you can also witness stunning panoramic views over the east coast.
St. Nicholas Abbey is a triumph of Caribbean architecture and one of Barbados’ most impressive old sites. Set in the parish of St. Peter towards the northeast of the island, it encompasses a plantation house, museum, and rum distillery and is set within 400 acres of sugar cane fields, manicured gardens, trickling gullies, and forests of mahogany trees.
Wherever you go in Barbados you’ll find excellent food, from walk-up beachfront shacks and high-end restaurants to cosy cafés and legendary rum shops. Try locally caught and farmed fish and meat, sweet plantains, spicy West Indian curries, rice and peas, and delicious rotis.
On Friday nights, drop by the sleepy fishing town of Oistins for its weekly ‘Fish Fry’ event. What began as a modest gathering to celebrate the day’s catch has become one of the island’s most well-known traditions. Full of smiling locals and curious visitors, check out local music, crafts stalls, and barbecue food stands offering beautifully seasoned fish and more.
Ascend to The Cliff restaurant—one of Barbados’ premier fine dining experiences. This striking eatery is perched elegantly in the clifftops overlooking the Platinum Coast in St. James, offering spectacular views while you dine and drink from its world-class à la carte and sushi menu.
For laid-back eating, visit one of the island’s many beachfront shacks where the dress code extends little beyond swimsuits and bare feet. Try the iconic Bombas, Johnny Cool Bar, and JuJu’s Beach Bar for tasty local cuisine and impeccable cocktails.
The south coast is home to Hawksbill turtles. Take a serene boat tour from Bridgetown and get up close to these majestic creatures. Climb aboard and sail to Carlisle Bay before slipping into the water with your snorkelling gear to swim with your new friends, feeding them as you go.
On dry land, visit the Barbados Wildlife Reserve in St. Peter for a unique opportunity to see the island’s natural wildlife at close range. This popular attraction lets you meander freely throughout the reserve and witness turtles, parrots, deer, reptiles and more. Keep a lookout for the cheeky Barbados Green Monkeys – and hold on to your hats!
