Come Let Barbados Inspire You

Whether you are sailing, snorkelling, swimming in the pool or out exploring Barbados on an island excursion, there is so much to discover in beautiful Barbados. Let us help you to discover our island. Please visit Vaida Blades in the Activities Desk. Vai will be happy to recommend favourite points of interest, from popular guidebook activities and attractions to lesser known, off-the-beaten path gems only a local would know about. Many Caribbean islands have beaches, but Barbados offers so much more than surf and sand! Steeped in history, architecture and excellent cuisine – with arguably the friendliest locals in the Caribbean – Barbados is a fabulous place for the explorer as well as the beach bum.
