While the rest of the Caribbean was being fought over by Spaniards, Danes, French and other nations, Barbados was too far away for them to bother, meaning that British rule remained unconquered. It is still known as 'Little England' today but despite its cricket matches, English-style churches and stately homes, the locals have not abandoned their West Indian heritage. Rather they have selectively borrowed certain English ways and customs that add a certain charm to this popular holiday destination.
The southern and western coasts of the island offer calm light blue Caribbean Sea and fine white and pinkish sandy beaches. On its Atlantic Ocean side, the waves are perfect for surfing; the 'Soup Bowl' near to Bathsheba is a very popular spot with surfers all year round. Other attractions include wildlife reserves, helicopter rides, golf, festivals (the largest being the annual Crop Over festival), cave exploration, a vibrant nightlife and duty-free shopping..
Our luxury holidays in Barbados also offer a fantastic array of luxury accommodation, combining flexibility with all the back-up and facilities of a hotel.
With world class facilities for singles, couples and families alike, Barbados certainly is 'cricket'.
