colours We are a vibrant place and a colorful people— probably thanks to all the beautiful shades and tones that surround us.

We have every kind of hue imaginable from dreamy pastels and rich jeweled tones to earthy browns and sun kissed golds. Every day on island is a day spent with the kind of views that photos simply won’t do any justice. From sunrise to sunset, from the crystal-clear Carlisle Bay to the rugged limestone hills of the Scotland District, Barbados is the kind of place you simply must see for yourself!

fish cutter

First the catch of the day, then seize the day!

From coconut water to coconut bread, true Bajan cuisine is taking simple ingredients and transforming them into meals you will never ever forget. The truth is, we take our food very seriously in Barbados; because we believe that a good day, a great experience or a new adventure starts with a delicious meal. You haven’t really had fish, until you’ve had our fried flying fish in a warm salt bread with a drop or two of Bajan pepper sauce. We call it a flying fish cutter, and lucky for you, it’s just the beginning of the best gastronomic experience of your life. Hey, they don’t call us the culinary capital of the Caribbean for nothing!

the best We have stories…and lots of them. Like the one where we invented, then perfected, rum.

And the way we took a tiny island, with few natural resources and transformed it into something truly special. Our walls and our shores tell the stories of adversity and triumph—and the best part is that our story is still being written—as is yours. We promise that Barbados will be the backdrop to your very best memories and your favourite stories; such is the nature of our beautiful island.
