Holidays to Barbados
Barbados is an idyllic island getaway offering a host of adventure activities, sandy beaches and delicious Caribbean food served everywhere you turn. Take a bike ride through lush national parks and discover plantation houses and museums, while enjoying the fruity cocktails and tiki bars dotted all along the coastline, late into the night.
The laid back island atmosphere always makes holidays to Barbados relaxing; you can sizzle and unwind on the beach, listening to the palm trees swaying in the sea breeze. The inviting turquoise ocean is a great place to swim and snorkel too, where you can discover tropical marine life or try watersports like surfing, or if you’re feeling a bit daring, jet blading.
Feast on perfectly spiced jerk chicken washed down with ice-cold cocktails and coconut drinks throughout your trip. You can embark on a jeep safari one day and a submarine adventure the next; after all, there is never a dull moment in this gorgeous island paradise.
