Barbados

In the British Empire days, Barbados was known as Little England. Today, the island is independent but still follows the principles of Anglo-Saxon civility, cricket and high tea. After 350 years of colonization, Britain has left its mark but add that to the famous Barbadian easy-going calypso culture, where a strong sense of history and culture fuses with a laid-back vibe ensures Barbados offers a vibrant nightlife and exciting daytime too.

Holidays in Barbados. Those choosing a holiday in Barbados will find pristine sandy beaches and glass-clear water, hemmed with palms and vibrant flora on a backdrop of impressive 18th-century colonial streetscapes, like in the capital, Bridgetown. Land-based attractions include lush botanical gardens, historic plantation houses, sumptuous tropical spas and first-rate golf. Barbados offers world-class, warm waters for diving and snorkelling. Underwater caves teem with colourful fish amidst vibrant coral reefs.

Away from the dominant coast is Mount Hillaby, the highest point in Barbados, which rises to 336m (1,102ft) in the north-central part of the island. To the west the land drops down to the sea while the east stretches to rugged upland regions. Southward, the highlands descend steeply to wide valleys. An absence of any significant lakes or rivers means Barbados relies on rainwater-fed underground streams and springs for its water supplies.
