The Best Places to Visit in Barbados
The Beaches of Carlisle Bay
- When looking for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, ensuring that your hotel has everything you need to have a good time is essential.
- At the Beaches Resorts in Barbados, our guests don't need to look any further than Carlisle Bay.
- This region is attractive to dip your toes in or put up a beach chair on the crystal-clear blue waters.
- Visitors can even go horseback riding, bicycling, or boating if they want to get more active.
- Come to Pebble Beach early in the morning to witness the racehorses taking a morning swim and see the sunrise.
- And when you're ready to relax, you'll be able to do so on a hammock, under a shade umbrella, or in one of our many open-air showers.
- All inclusive holidays are great because they leave no room for doubt about whether something is included or not; all meals, beverages (with some exceptions for premium brands), activities, and tips are included with your stay at the Beaches Resorts in Barbados.
- Even better, you can use your all-inclusive pass at these locations for any of our other resorts around the world!
- Our guests love this option because it lets them travel all over without worrying about how much things will cost.
Downtown Bridgetown
- There's a wide range of activities in Bridgetown, Barbados.
- From the mighty 1,000-year-old baobab tree in Queen's Park to the magnificent Chamberlain Bridge, which offers views over the Constitution River, there are plenty of things to do in and around downtown Bridgetown.
- The nation's capital is also home to the only underwater post office in the world, located at the southernmost tip of Bridgetown.
- As if its location wasn't fantastic enough, it also consists of three separate chambers—one for incoming mail, one for outgoing mail, and one for parcels—and has windows through which you can see fish swimming.
- The Royal Barbados Museum is located on St. Ann Street and features artefacts from over the island.
- The National Heroes Gallery pays tribute to the country's most prominent historical figures. Other museums on-site include The Natural History Museum and The Children's Museum.
- Barbados' beaches consist of some of the most stunning beaches on Earth and are a popular spot for holidaymakers.
- There are countless resorts within a short drive from downtown Bridgetown. If you're looking for something more off-the-beaten-path, this is it.
Bathsheba Bay
- Bathsheba Bay, last-minute holidays will allow you to combine a stay in the Andromeda Tropical Botanic Gardens and the Flower Forest to make the day special and the Barbados holiday memorable.
- The beach at Bathsheba Bay, in the parish of Christ Church, is one of the more popular beaches on this island, and for a good reason.
- There are several charming restaurants just off the beach serving fresh seafood and other local favourites, and it's pretty easy to find a lounge chair to use for a day or two.
- You may not expect that Bathsheba isn't ideal for swimming—the coast is littered with massive rock formations formed by the remnants of old coral reefs that the pounding surf has eroded, so be careful.
- Because the bay's shallow water and the surf form a white foam, the area is known as the "Soup Bowl."
- It's still quite beautiful to sit by the water, but if you're in Barbados looking to catch some waves, keep looking.
- Bathsheba can be combined with a visit to the surrounding Andromeda Tropical Botanic Gardens and Flower Forest to make your trip there even more special.
- These spots add colours and greenery to an already gorgeous landscape and make for a perfect complement to a day at one of Barbados' finest beaches.
Animal Flower Cave
- When backpacking around the world, you have to be prepared for anything.
- Experience the remarkable wonders of nature with the last-minute holiday to Harrison's Cave, Barbados.
- Harrison's Cave is a giant cave that dates back millions of years. You'll be blown away by the massive stalactites and stalagmites created when seeping water deposited minerals on the cave floor and walls.
- It sits only a short way away from the beautiful blue coast, so snorkelling or diving in the clear ocean surrounding it can make for a perfect day trip!
- Travellers can witness humpback whales from the cliff-side above the Cave from February to April.
- There's no better place to go with Animal Flower cave in Barbados when you're strapped for time and want a new experience.
- Humpback whales are creatures that can be seen from the cliff-side above the Cave from February until April, sometimes even May.
- The best part is that you don't need special equipment; you walk down a small stairway to see them.
- There have been sightings of over fifty whales at once here! This is an opportunity that shouldn't be passed up by anyone who loves animals or nature, and if things don't work out while you're there, there are plenty of other things to do in Barbados!

- It is also home to many upscale shopping malls, including the famous Gap Village Mall, which was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 but has since been rebuilt more than ever.
St. Philip (South East Barbados)
- St. Philip has something for everyone with four lighthouses, a racing circuit and distillery tours.
- Book one of our all-inclusive holidays to the island where the pace of life is slower.
- St. Philip is a part of the country known for its laid-back pace and famous beaches, so you'll probably want to leave your watch at home.
- You could enjoy the slower side of things in St. Philip, touring plantation mansions like Sunbury, which goes back to the 1600s or relaxing on some of Barbados' most renowned beaches, such as Bottom Bay and Crane Beach.
- The options are certainly diverse in terms of what you can do in St. Philip. Of course, the Bushy Park Racing Circuit, where you can live life in the fast lane, is the main attraction in St. Philip.
- Set yourself up for one of the "most memorable moments of your life" by pushing the limits of race vehicles or carts or watching an international racing event.
- Aside from viewing the beaches, plantation buildings, and racing circuit, while in St. Philip, you may visit the four lighthouses in Ragged Point, which offer stunning vistas, or the Four-Square Distillery for a tour and tastings.
St. Michael (South West Barbados)
- St. Michael, which is home to the capital city of Bridgetown, is a lovely location for all inclusive holidays.
- St. Michael, Bridgetown's capital city, is located a little further up the western coast and, as one might expect, has many tourist attractions.

CULTURE & TRADITIONS
Barbados Culture and Traditions
- Barbados has a culture that is a mixture of West African and British influences.
- The bulk of the people is of African ancestry, but the island was a British Empire colonial for nearly 300 years, therefore the English had a big effect.
- Although English is the country's official language, the Bajan dialect in which it is spoken is an integrated part of Barbadian culture.
- The tuk band is made up of colourfully dressed performers who play the bass drum, kettle drum, and pennywhistle. The captivating beat of the tuk bands beckons you to dance or at the very least tap your feet!
- The Barbados Landship is a prominent feature of our culture.
- The landship's dances are based on the voyage of ships through turbulent seas.
- Ribbon dances around a maypole and maypole polka, for example, are two of the most popular dances that can be seen in Barbados.

Flying Fish
#Food
- Barbados' national dish is flying fish, a small marine fish found in nearby tropical seas.
- The most common way to prepare it is to fry it, but it also goes well with various sauces and can be eaten plain.
- In Barbados, flying fish is often served with cou cou, a cornmeal dish cooked with okra and water.
- It's very similar to polenta, and because cornmeal is so prevalent in Barbados, this dish is commonly eaten by locals.
- Flying fish goes best with cou cou because the two dishes' starchy combines well.
- If you want to try some of these dishes while on holiday in Barbados, ask your hotel concierge for recommendations!
Fish Cakes
#Food
- You can enjoy fresh fish cakes while on an all inclusive holiday in Barbados.
- In Barbados, fish cakes are a popular food prepared by battering and deep-frying the fish.
- The mixture is commonly made up of salted cod, white fish, and other herbs and spices.
- Cooking these fish cakes is quite similar to preparing hush puppies, a fried cornmeal meal commonly found in the Southern United States.
- Shredded fish, onions, and peppers are mixed with flour and fried in oil to make these delectable treats.
- On the island, many individuals serve their fish cakes with a side of spicy pepper or mayonnaise, while others build a "bread and two" sandwich.
- This traditional food is sold in most local food sellers and some luxury restaurants on the island.
Pepperpot
#Food
- We recommend eating pepperpot for holiday meals — it's a Bajan tradition!
- Pepperpot is one of the most popular dishes in Barbados, but it's also found throughout the Caribbean.
- The pepperpot stew is a dish with Bajan spices and fiery peppers. There are a few variations to the pepperpot.
- Still, the traditional pepperpot stew has meat (often pork, beef, or fish), vegetables like carrots, celery, green peppers, and fiery peppers that add flavour to the stew.
- This meal is usually eaten with rice or toast. Pepperpot is so popular that it's served year-round at some local restaurants.
- It's commonly eaten during the holidays as it fills you up and satisfies your taste buds.
- It's also found in local restaurants that serve Barbadian cuisine and other Caribbean dishes.
Folkestone Marine Park & Museum
#FUN
- Folkestone Marine Park & Museum is an all inclusive park where visitors can go snorkelling thanks to a sunken ship that is home to fish.
- Folkestone Marine Park & Museum is a multi-purpose park that offers a little something for everyone.
- It's conveniently located by the beautiful Folkestone Beach in the town of Folkestone, and it's perfect for fun-filled days at the beach.
- The Stavronikitia is the most famous attraction in Folkestone Marine Park & Museum.
- It's an artificial reef created by sinking a ship, and it's home to colourful sponges, seal colonies, and an array of marine life.
- The calm waters of Folkestone Marine Park & Museum are great for kayaking and paddle boarding, fishing and boating, or simply relaxing at one of the many beaches and playgrounds.
At Saint Lawrence Gap, enjoy Barbados' nightlife.
#FUN
- There are ample opportunities to enjoy the nightlife on your cheap all inclusive holidays in Barbados.
- The island is teeming with exciting clubs and bars, many of which feature live music, dancing, and the opportunity to mingle with other tourists.
- However, it's best to visit these places after dark if you're looking for a taste of the local culture.
- In St Lawrence Gap, located on the outskirts of Bridgetown, you can find one of the oldest shopping centres in Barbados.
- Several nightclubs come alive at night—so don't be fooled by its quiet streets during the day.
- If you're looking for more of a local feel and want to try some authentic Bajan cuisine, venture into Holetown.
- There, you'll find that the bars and clubs have a different vibe than places in St Lawrence Gap. Plus, both locations are near popular restaurants and hotels—so it's common for tourists to stop by after eating out or going through their nightly routine.
Windsurfing or Kitesurfing
#FUN
- If you're looking to spend a week in paradise and don't want to break the bank, Silver Sands Beach is the perfect place.
- Located in the Caribbean just outside Georgetown, Guyana, you can enjoy all inclusive living on this quiet beach.
- There are no high rises here—just a bunch of cabanas tucked into the sand with hammocks hanging between them.
- The staff is friendly and welcoming, and plenty of activities keep you busy during your stay.
- Climbing up the hill behind the beach is an excellent way to see how big this place is—it takes about an hour to hike from one end to the other and back again.
- You'll pass many people along the way—fellow guests out for a run or going down to sit by the water and read their books.
- You might even spot someone playing volleyball or table tennis on one of the courts. If you're lucky, they'll be wearing our new bikinis!
- Silver Sands Beach is home to some of Guyana's best surf spots.
- If you've always wanted to try surfing but never quite got around to it, we recommend checking out one of these beaches: Blue Horizon, Bluff Heads, Hibiscus Garden.
Sky Mall
#Fashion
- Sky Mall is a great place to explore if you're looking for all inclusive holidays for cheap.
- The first time I went to Skymall was a few years ago when my mom, my Aunt Yvonne and I went on a church trip to Ghana.
- We were looking for souvenirs from the country that we could bring back to people in the states.
- We decided to go into the mall because the streets were crowded with vendors and shops.
- Meetings, concerts and exhibitions are regularly held at the Skymall Centre.
- There are also over ten restaurants that serve Ghanaian as well as European food.
- There is a supermarket called Massy located next door to the Skymall which sells anything you could ever need.
- I recommend going to the Skymall if you are looking for souvenirs or just want to walk around and see how people live in Ghana!
- You'll find plenty of souvenir stands near the cabanas, too—and don't forget to check out all the different stalls selling sunglasses and flip-flops!
Limegrove Lifestyle Centre
