Barbados is a tiny Caribbean island full of colorful culture and enticing local flavors. The beautiful island is noted for its remarkable beaches and warm, hospitable community. Christ Church is one of the eleven historic parishes of the island, situated about nine miles away from the capital of Bridgetown. Christ Church serves as the main port of entry to the island nation, but all cities throughout are easily accessible.

Discover Historical Hotspots for Hidden Treasures

Featuring powdery white sand and vivid turquoise bays, Barbados immerses visitors in the beauty of untouched paradise, while treating them to a mix of exhilarating activities, including wild surfing on the east coast, a sensational nightlife and an exploration of the island’s lush inland gardens.

Visitors must visit St Nicholas Abbey, the top historic site on the island, with grounds that highlight various botanical gardens. At the northern tip of the island, where the Caribbean and Atlantic meet, visitors encounter Animal Flower Cave, a large waterside cave carved into a cliff face ideal for spelunking and for daring travelers.

Shark Hole beach features a small stretch of delicate white sand enclosed by a perfectly secluded cove with calm waters that create a natural saltwater swimming pool. Miami Beach – sharing its name with the iconic American city – is a shaded and intimate gem hidden away from the busier southern coast. The capital, Bridgetown, is a UNESCO World Heritage site that boasts of notable neo-Gothic style Parliament buildings showcasing the island’s distinctive heritage.

Treat Your Palate to Savory and Spicy Eats

Barbados is known for its flavorful dishes, loaded with exotic spices and an array of colors. After trekking through the island, visitors can enjoy a classic Caribbean meal at Fish Pot, a picturesque seaside restaurant along the coastal highway that offers fresh island catch and panoramic views to complement your dining experience. The Tides restaurant is noted as one of the most beautiful restaurants on the west coast of the island, renowned for its spectacular, spiced Thai curry and mouth-watering bread pudding. For a classic, three-course meal, explore The Cliff Restaurant, famed for its spicy tuna tartare and Cajun salmon.
