Everything you need to know about Barbados

Barbados vacations pair the calm Platinum Coast with the lively south at St Lawrence Gap, plus rum, food and the wild Atlantic surf of Bathsheba. Barbados has two very different coasts: the west, calm and upscale, where the Caribbean laps quiet swimming beaches, and the south, livelier and better value around St Lawrence Gap. Beyond the beach it has a proud rum heritage and a strong food scene, Friday-night fish fries at Oistins, and the dramatic Atlantic surf of the east coast. English-speaking and easy to get around, it is a relaxed classic.
