What We Recommend

Island Tour

With its two coasts, you get two very different experiences. The Atlantic side, or East Coast, provides ideal conditions for premium surfing. Bathsheba Beach, and particularly its famed breaker known as the Soup Bowl, is a haven for surfers, with Barclays Park and Bath being other popular beaches on this coast. The Caribbean side, or West Coast, is where you will find the calmer waters of such world-famous beaches as Brighton Beach and Miami Beach, as well as many of the island's most notable luxury hotels, resorts and villas, and high-end restaurants. And in between it all? Lush vegetation, historical landmarks, deep caves and a whole lot of fun! Hire a driver and take a day to experience what Barbados has to offer.

Submarine Tour

Once you glide to the ocean floor, you'll be treated to the sights of a wondrous aquatic universe. You'll be served a selection of fine champagne and hors d'oeuvres. What better way to enjoy the sunken ship wrecks and this marvelous marine universe?

Flying Lessons

Flying schools on the island take pride in their world-class training facilities and fleet of aircraft. Students of every age, from around the world take advantage of the quality flight education and beautiful island vistas in which they soar above.

Garrison Savannah

The influence of the English on Barbados is quite noticeable, with a good example being found in the island's national sport: cricket. Polo is also played here, and golf of course, with many fantastic courses dotting the island, but Barbados also offers a day at the races at Garrison Savannah. Even if you are not particularly into horse-racing, the atmosphere here is quite unique – sipping coconut water, indulging on Bajan cuisine, basking in the Caribbean sun and cheering on the competitors as they close in on the finish line.

Celebration

If you're planning a special celebration with friends such as a bachelorette, bachelor, stag party or birthday bash you definitely should focus your party on the South Coast where all the best nightlife (and some rollicking parties) go down. For more demure affairs, the West Coast offers luxury event venues that provide calming Caribbean vistas to complement your special event. Whether it's a wedding, milestone birthday, or just some well-deserved fun it will be perfect here.

Dining & Nightlife

Whether it's a super-romantic splurge you're after, or something casual and fun, Barbados' famed St. Lawrence Gap is a 1.3 kilometre stretch of road that delivers it all. Famous for its fine dining, good shopping and lively nightlife, 'The Gap', as it is commonly known, is home to the best rum shops, chic cocktail bars and day-till-dawn nightclubs and it is a place that should not be missed. Hop in a cab or rent a limo and experience it all! If you're lucky you could stumble upon one of the regular street parties that have become commonplace on this part of the island.
