Best places in Barbados to stay

Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados is located on the southwest coast of the island and this area provides a good look into life on the island. The area offers a great balance between tourist attractions and traditional Bajan culture with so many things to do from shopping and bars to more traditional visits to the George Washington House or Kensington Oval. There is a more limited number of places to stay in this area as the majority of visitors tend to reside in the smaller towns along the coasts.

The south coast is thought to be one of the more developed locations of the island, making it more attractive to tourists with its endless options for entertainment. There are plenty of places to stay with different types of accommodation scattered along and away from the coastline. This area is one of the most heavily populated of the island, with a great range of hotels, homes, apartments for both living and travelling available. You can also find various places for shopping and spa retreats in addition to numerous dining options. If you are looking to take advantage of the different water sports on offer this is the best place.

At the east coast you can find a very different area to the other parts of the island. Here the coast offers rustic wooden homes on and around the long white beaches which are covered in windswept coconut trees. The varied and relaxed style of the local area is reflected in the varied accommodation available on the east coast, fitting right in with the nature of the whole island. Here you can find something for everyone with anything from low-budget beach houses to high-end resorts and villas.

The west coast offers the high-end Barbados experience with private luxury villas and exquisite hotels available for its visitors to reside during their stay. You will also find cool bars and fine dining restaurants along the coastal area. This place is for people who want to experience the absolute best of what Barbados has to offer. The elite holiday resorts in this area take up the beach, offering their guests picture perfect views of Barbados’ white sand beaches.
