2023 is flying by and we cannot believe we are now well into the summer season. If you are still looking to get away this summer, there is still limited availability but for peak dates for the best choice of flights and accommodation, we would recommend looking sooner rather than later.
Last month, we had the pleasure of meeting with the UK representative from Barbados Tourism to discuss all that is happening and what’s new on this beautiful Caribbean Island as they remove all covid requirements when travelling from the UK.
Whether you are thinking of a first-time visit to Barbados, or if you have experienced the local hospitality previously, here’s why you should consider Barbados for your next Caribbean break:
Located in the parish of St. Philip, Sam Lord’s Castle was a beautiful Georgian mansion built in 1820 by the notorious buccaneer Samuel Hall Lord, known as ‘Sam Lord’. Recently opened on the castle grounds, you will find the new Sam Lord’s Castle, Wyndham Grand Resort.
This 442-room, all-inclusive beachfront resort offers a range of rooms and suites alongside an array of dining options for all tastes – whether you crave tantalising seafood and sushi, or a refreshing speciality cocktail at the sun-kissed poolside bars. Also catering to families, they have a shallow children’s pool, family-friendly activity programme, and a kids club to keep the little ones busy.
If a more adult-focused resort is what you have in mind, the O2 Beach Club opened in December 2021 and this 5-star property, located in St Lawrence Gap, has a choice of three swimming pools, two of which are adult-only. The stunning hotel boasts 130 rooms offering a choice of pool view rooms to luxury ocean view suites. The famous Oistins Fish Fry is just a short taxi ride away where you can sample fresh tuna, swordfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, or flying fish.
Villa-style accommodation is becoming more popular in Barbados whether for larger families or groups of friends travelling together. From being located by the golf courses of Ape Hill or at the famous Sandy Lane.
If you’ve decided to make Barbados your next destination of choice here are three attractions to consider adding to your plans: Eco Adventure Park, Zipline and obstacle course at Harrison’s Cave, Sushi Under the Sea with Atlantis Submarines, and an Island Time Rum Tour.
With direct flights available from Manchester and London offering economy, premium, and business class cabins, there has never been an easier time to head for Barbados.
