Destination Profile
At once exotic and chic, Barbados is a playground for sun lovers and jet setters and fashionistas. The shape of a teardrop, it sits in the midst of the Caribbean, and boasts some of the most photogenic bays in the whole region. The best of them include Mullins Beach, where soft quartz sand slopes into waters of impossible turquoise, and Oistins, where BBQ seafood shacks straddle cloud-white powder between the sea grapes. And when you're not whiling away days snorkeling and sunbathing? There are hard-fought cricket showdowns and colonial-era relics in gorgeous Bridgetown, along with potent tipples in the Mount Gay distillery. Cheap flights to Barbados from USA can take as little as five hours, and there are oodles of nonstop and indirect links coming in from towns like Miami, NYC, Atlanta – the list continues.
Fruit stalls and Caribbean fish fries give way to gleaming white beaches around the vibrant Bajan settlement of Speightstown.
Oistins heralds Bajan fish fries and a few eye-watering bays that come powdered with sugar sand.
