LOCATION HIGHLIGHTS
TRAVEL GURU SUMMARY
Barbados is particularly popular with British travellers – perhaps because the quaint little villages with their churches and cricket pitches are reminiscent of home - although you’ll spot the odd monkey in the trees to remind you that you're somewhere more exotic.
DONT MISS...
Head to Oistins village on a Friday night where the daily catch is fried and sold at small stalls by the beach. As the sun goes down, the steel drums start up and there’s a laid-back party atmosphere.
