Barbados

Barbados was first settled by the British in 1627 and many British traditions are now an intrinsic part of the Bajan culture. It is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands and the ideal introduction to the West Indies. Barbados has something for everyone but has not compromised its idyllic charm by becoming too developed.

You won’t find high-rise hotels, arcades or hamburger chains; you will find beautiful white sand beaches, swaying palms beside warm blue seas and some of the friendliest people in the world.
