Visit Barbados 2016 Edition

VISIT

Welcome to Barbados

Thanks

to a year round climate of near perfect temperatures, a salubrious natural environment and a safe, tolerant and harmonious society, Barbados has become one of the world’s most aspirational destinations. For an island of just 166 sq. miles Barbados offers a refreshing mix that goes beyond sun, sea and sand.

Scratch the surface and discover a vibrant culture and fascinating heritage that has even earned us a UNESCO World Heritage Inscription.

are considered the warmest and friendliest people in the Caribbean and in 2016 we have a special reason to celebrate with our visitors. Building on a proud history of 340 years as a British colony, Barbados can now boast of a fine record of accomplishments since declaring Independence in 1966, including free universal health care and education for all.

Adventure in Barbados

Island Safari Jeep at Cove Bay Hunte’s Gardens Animal Flower Cave Bathsheba

Discover

the meaning of adrenaline as you zoom along in a safari jeep through forest trails, fly over the island in a Microlight aircraft, careen across sea cliffs on a segway or test your skill around the leading circuit-racing facility in the English-speaking Caribbean. You might also meander through four tropical gardens, take a stroll alongside some monkeys or take a swim in sea caves that open out to the Atlantic Ocean. Roaming around working potteries, exploring underground streams, driving through vast stalactite filled caves, sampling rum in a refinery or exploring the cockpit of a supersonic aircraft - sounds like fun?

There’s all that, and so much more to do, in the small island of Barbados!

Heritage & History in Barbados

Dinner with George at George Washington House Changing of the Sentry at the Garrison’s Main Guard The Garrison Tunnels St. Nicholas Abbey

UNESCO

declared Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison a World Heritage property. You can enjoy visits to the oldest synagogue in the western hemisphere, the third oldest parliament in the British Commonwealth, the home where America’s founding father, George Washington, stayed in 1751 at the impressionable age of 19, a well preserved Garrison that was the largest British military facility in the Caribbean, and 11 state-of-the-art museum attractions.

Barbados, the birthplace of rum, was one of the first economies to produce sugar and its ‘spirited’ by-product around 1640. Today there is a rich fusion of African and British colonial heritage. St. Nicholas Abbey, open to visitors and where they produce single barrel rum, is the third oldest Jacobean house in the Americas.

There are also over a hundred historic churches with fascinating grounds and graveyards to explore.

When the sun goes down, the night heats up, and Bajans love to party! There is no shortage of nightclubs, lounges and ‘liming’ spots. Whether you ‘belly up to the bar’ at one of our late night hotspots or dance barefoot on the beach during a dazzling dinner show, the night is yet young - all night long.

Health & Wellness in Barbados

The Spa at Sandy Lane Hotel Crystal Steam Room at Coral Reef Club Barbados Fertility Centre boasts one of the highest success rates in the world Yoga on the beach

Rejuvenate

yourself in Barbados’ salubrious climate, as our visitors have done since the seventeenth century when travellers sailed for weeks to ‘take the airs and waters’. In 1751, George Washington, aged 19, brought his ailing brother Lawrence and rented accommodation in the historic Garrison area in Bridgetown, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Barbados is, by very nature, a health haven, and still has that almost magical effect on people’s sense of well being with its year round sunshine and sea breezes. Several top notch spas offer the most luxurious ways to pamper yourself, and some therapists provide a mobile spa service right to your villa or hotel. Barbados is also home to several specialist medical facilities such as the Barbados Fertility Centre, which boasts one of the highest success rates in the world. The primary health care facility, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and private clinics and wellness centres provide very high quality all encompassing health care.
