Barbados Holidays

Barbados was the only island in the Caribbean to remain under the flag of one nation throughout the 300 year island-hopping, allegiance-swapping colonial era, and as a result there is still a strong sense of Englishness here. Palm-fringed, supercharged, 'Bling-land' admittedly, but England none the less.

"We were very satisfied with our trip to Antigua. We were delighted with the choice of hotel we were suggested, which was ideally located, and the food was really good (we were blown away by the variety of dishes they offered!). The people there were very friendly and cheerful. That's it, really, other than to say thank you for your advice, we had a great holiday and will use definitely use Original Travel for our next trip."

What you can find in Barbados that you won't find anywhere else?

Dramatically different landscapes and coastlines in a small island. Barbados packs a lot into a pretty small area, with the two contrasting coasts - the wild and woolly east and the sheltered and glitzy west - separated by a charming and mountainous interior dotted with former colonial estates turned into elegant hotels or retreating back into the jungle.


What is the best option for a Barbados holiday?

Is it possible to avoid the glitz and glamour? Of course. We at Original Travel know all the best places to stay, ranging from the bling-fest billionaires' hangout of Sandy Lane at the epicentre of the west coast scene to way more understated hideaways on the beautiful - and virtually empty in parts - east coast.
