Barbados Holidays
Barbados is one of the smaller islands of the Caribbean, just 20 miles long and 15 miles across at its widest point. The West Coast is home to some of the most luxurious hotels and resorts, including world-class golf courses and trend-setting restaurants. Its palm-lined white sandy beaches with their calm blue waters lap gently at the shore. The lively south coast is known for its popular bars, restaurants, and nightclubs at St Lawrence Gap. The livelier surf of the South's beaches makes it a great spot for water sports. A place where refined luxury and exceptional culinary delights dance and mingle among the lush tropical greenery, deep blue waters, protected coral reefs, and warm golden sunlight.
Barbados is not just about the beaches, though; it has several historical, architectural, and cultural points of interest. Harrington's Cave is a mesmerising crystallised limestone cave with crystal clear pools and flowing streams. Barbados has 2 of the remaining 3 known Jacobean mansions left in the Western world, with St. Nicholas Abbey in the north of the island being open to the public. Take a tour of the island's historical capital, Bridgetown, with its UNESCO World Heritage Site-awarded garrison. Spend a day on a white sandy beach. Try some boogie boarding or kite surfing. Discover tropical marine life by diving or snorkelling. Or simply sit back and get stuck into your book! Enjoy a rum punch or two along the way!
Learn to trade the hectic for the slow and easy, and you have the Barbadian way of things! A tiny island with a huge heart and a warm, welcoming, proud people! Sunway has picked a range of hotels starting from 3* options upward,s so something for all budgets and tastes.
