Why visit Barbados?

Barbados lures with stunning views at Bathsheba, tranquil waters at Carlisle Bay, and the excitement of Crop Over, the island’s most iconic festival. Discover the dramatic formations of Harrison’s Cave, tour historic Bridgetown, or sample rum at one of the oldest distilleries in the Caribbean. Deeply tied to the African diaspora, Barbados was one of the earliest sugar colonies and now stands as a republic reclaiming its identity. Travelers can visit the Newton Slave Burial Ground and explore local museums that chronicle the island’s path from plantation past to diasporic pride and Black cultural revival.
