Welcome to Barbados

The easternmost of the Lesser Antilles, this special island is washed by both the soothing Caribbean Sea to the west, and the rough Atlantic Ocean to the east. It is a modest 166 square miles of beauty, tradition and easy lifestyle.

The island is rich in history, and is one of the most developed states in the Caribbean.

Barbados has become a world-renowned destination among vacationers who travel many thousands of miles to get here. The mesmerizing landscapes, vibrant colors and uniquely Bajan culture have become a phenomenon among travelers who simply cannot resist this jewel in the sun.

Driving from west to east you witness the transformation from the West Coast tourist bustle and the usually calm Caribbean Sea to the jagged rocks and roaring Atlantic Ocean the East Coast is known for.

You’ll find the hottest nightlife along the island’s South Coast, particularly in St. Lawrence Gap, where the new Ocean Two Resort & Residences is located.

Away from the crowds and offering a positively serene getaway is The Crane Resort & Residences, a clifftop resort with sweeping sea views and a coral sand beach. The resort’s lap pool is a sight to behold with its marble sundeck and Roman columns.

Stunning vistas and historic sites abound. Don’t leave Barbados without picking up a flying fish cutter from a beachfront vendor or visiting the island’s rugged and breathtaking North Coast, home of Animal Flower Cave, a natural cave with openings looking out to the sea.

And of course, get in as much beach time as you can: Barbados’ shorelines are some of the world’s most beautiful.
