Barbados holidays
Barbados is a tropical island with a surprisingly British feel‚ where cricket and afternoon tea are as popular as sunbathing and watersports. With rugged beauty on the east coast‚ calm beaches in the west, and lively resorts in the south‚ plus colonial towns and plantations‚ holidays here are ideal for sightseeing. Picture yourself on a white sand beach with dazzling blue waters fringed by palm trees, and you’re almost there! Start planning your perfect Barbados holiday today.
If you're interested in history, don't forget to visit George Washington House during your Barbados holiday, where you can explore an 18th century plantation home that was once visited by George Washington, the first President of the United States. Or spend some time at St. Nicholas Abbey, a 17th century sugar plantation and mansion where you can learn about the history of rum. If you're a fan of horse-racing, visit the Garrison Savannah near Bridgetown, which holds the prestigious Barbados Gold Cub for Thoroughbreds and the Barbados Triple Crown series. Other places worth visiting are the Barbados Museum / Historical Society, the 18th century Morgan Lewis Windmill, and the unique Mallalieu Motor Collection.
