Barbados Vacations and Tourism

Barbados retains a whiff of British airs while offering visitors a curry of a culture that is uniquely Caribbean. This idyllic island is not only one-of-a-kind, it also includes all the ingredients for a perfect Caribbean vacation.

Are you looking for luxury shopping? Barbados has plenty. Looking for championship fairways? Barbados has some great courses that will challenge and delight even the most seasoned golfers. Beautiful resorts? You won't be disappointed with the selection Barbados offers.

Have you been fantasizing about jaw-dropping beaches? Barbados has that threefold: there are soft golden sand beaches, glistening white sanded shores, and pink-tinged shorelines to choose from. Is it lush, tropical nature that you are dreaming of? Barbados has an extraordinary variety of exotic flora and fauna.

If you want to immerse yourself in West Indian culture, Barbados is a great place to do so. If you want to see a slice of daily Bajan life, head to Oistins Fish Market. Located in a bustling fishing village, there you can enjoy the cuisine like a local: fresh from the water, fried at one of the shacks that line the market. Caribbean music floats through the air as does the enthusiastic celebration of life, aided by a little Barbadian rum, of course.

For a spectacular display of the local culture, don't miss the annual Crop Over Festival. Beginning in July and running for over a month, this long-standing tradition is a celebration of the sugarcane harvest that was once an essential part of Barbadian economy. Dancers in brilliant costumes vibrate to the exciting rhythms of calypso, and street parties are charged with the electricity of Carnival. It is a once in a lifetime experience!

Barbados has even more to offer: mouthwatering cuisine, fascinating remnants of colonial history, splendid scuba diving and snorkeling, and a vibrant nightlife. This tiny island is packed full with everything you need for an amazing Caribbean vacation.
