The British island of Barbados greets you with warm hospitality, picture-perfect pink-sand beaches, rocky cliffs, rolling hills, verdant valleys, sugarcane plantations, and the bustling port city of Bridgetown. Elegant resorts and multiple golf courses dot the island, contrasting their modern day sophistication with the historic charm of old plantation houses and rum factories. The island also features vibrant nightlife and duty-free shopping.

Coral reefs almost completely encircle the island. The reefs’ protective presence coupled with contrasting wind conditions on the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts create a Mecca for water sports. On the west coast, you’ll find dozens of soft, white-sand coves and calm, clear water, perfect for waterskiing, parasailing, and snorkeling. The rolling waves on the rugged, rocky east coast are well suited for bodysurfing. Crane Beach on the southeast coast is notable for its rugged cliffs and that special, rare gift of coral reefs – beaches with pastel pink sand.



The topography of Barbados is one of Mother Nature’s most unique phenomena, consisting of sandstone rock and coral covered by a thin layer of topsoil only 12 inches deep. Amazingly, this small allotment of soil has supported the great sugar plantations of the past and continues to sustain diversified agriculture. Underground, a vast system of rivers and lakes provides an infinite supply of pure, clear drinking water along with sublime scenery. Grab the tram to Harrison’s Cave, which winds through an extensive system of subterranean chambers. The exquisite beauty of stalactites and stalagmites formed by eons of seeping rainwater and the underground waterfalls plunging into deep, emerald pools makes a lasting memory.
