Barbados is an enchanting island, renowned for stunning beaches, sensational sunsets and a rich history that can be experienced through various activities and experiences on the island.  It’s an ideal place to visit all year round due to the warm climate, that rarely gets unbearably hot due to the light sea breeze.  Of course, travelling to Barbados you will have packed your swimwear and your flip flops because you want to visit as many stunning beaches as possible. There are countless beautiful beaches to enjoy, from Miami and Rockley Beach to Bottom Bay and Mullins Beach - the latter being one of the lost popular spots in Barbados. Many beaches offer sun loungers, changing room facilities and even restaurants and bars, so you can stay long after the sun goes down.  There is more to the island then beaches, if you fancy sticking to dry land head inland and explore the endless fields of sugar canes that are dotted with plantation houses. These plantation homes offer an incredible insight into the history of Barbados, and are well worth a visit in order to truly appreciate the history of this country. There are many other historical sights to see, from The UNESCO-listed town centre of Bridgetown to Speightstown, the second largest town centre which features architecture that is both stunning and historical.  Of course, in Barbados you have to do as the locals do, which means trying the island’s internationally recognised rum and their local specialty - flying fish. After all, you can’t visit a new country and not sample the local cuisine.
