Overview

Barbados

In the Atlantic Ocean, set slightly apart from the Antilles arc, the island of Barbados passes the time in tranquillity, while being a champion at cricket and hooked on tea-time. It has a very defined character, which makes it an original destination. 22.5 miles long and 15 miles wide, it is the English Caribbean of the Lesser Antilles. It is romantic, too! Coconut trees, fine sand, and turquoise water: the picture is idyllic. Without including, in the interior of the island, a luxuriant countryside holding old colonial homes and grottos connected by underground rivers.

pros

  •  A variety of beautiful coastline and beaches
  •  The sunshine!
  •  A small island, but a world apart.
  •  The peace and quiet

cons

  •  The tourist sites are somewhat 'overdone'
  •  Too much emphasis placed on shopping means the island feels like one big shopping arcade in some places.

Our Editorial team's advice

Take light clothing, but beware of air-conditioned places. Wear something more elegant in the evening. Be aware that even though Barbados lives at the rhythm of the Caribbean, it is still rather restrained.
