An accessible holiday on the tropical island of Barbados is synonymous with visions of the glorious sun, sipping coconut cocktails on the shore and absorbing romantic sunsets from beachside restaurants. 

There are numerous ways to while away the hours in Barbados: tropical spas and relaxation vacations are common, rum tours are interesting and a tease for the tastebuds, the area of Bridgetown is a UNESCO world heritage site, there is plenty to do in the water, and there is always something exciting to choose from within the island’s bustling nightlife.

Barbados is a tax-free haven, and due to its links with many of the world's major business houses, provides great shopping opportunities for fine jewellery, fragrances, electronics and clothing.
