BARBADOS
The jewel in the Caribbean crown, Barbados is a multi-faceted gem with a wonderful climate. Its west coast beaches of fine sand are lapped by the gentle warm waves of the Caribbean and embrace luxury hotels and sophisticated restaurants and bars, whilst the rugged east coast has been sculpted spectacularly into stunning scenes by the powerful Atlantic rollers. Contrastingly, the white sands of the south coast boast foaming surf, favoured by windsurfers and beachlovers alike. Browsing in the boutiques of Bridgetown and calling into a quayside bistro for a fresh seafood lunch is a favourite pastime for visitors, or a train trip through the mile-long underground splendour of the eerie and impressive Harrisons Cave. To appreciate the wonderful nature the island has to offer, wander through the mahogany forest of the Barbados Wildlife Reserve amongst monkeys and macaws, or visit the Graham Hall Nature Reserve. For a more dramatic adventure, a four-wheel drive discovery of the island's less visited treasures, such as the pastel washed houses of cliff-top Bathsheba, and the scattered idyllic churches and beautiful gardens of surrounding parishes will enchant. A sunset horseback ride along the sands will also prove a stunning and memorable experience. Blissful beaches and some of the finest hotels and speciality restaurants in the Caribbean such as the Cliff and the Fish Pot are Barbados' signature dishes, alongside the unique Oistins Friday night fish fry. Excellent golfing and fabulous dining opportunities have evolved, juxtaposed against expanses of cane fields, dotted sugar plantations, time-less caves and spectacular shipwrecks. Barbados is superbly placed for a fabulous twin or triple centre tailormade island-hopping experience. Islands such as Antigua, Tobago, St Lucia and St Kitts are easily reached by air. If an alternative island encounter is required then the peaceful shores and deserted bays of the Grenadines would be a perfect accompaniment to this stylish island - whatever your unique yearnings we can find a holiday option perfect for you. Unbeatable diversity, colonial charm and exceptional standards ensure Barbados' continuous popularity as a World Class Caribbean island.
