Boutique hotels in Barbados
Barbados offers small coral-stone hotels on the calm west coast, rum-shop villages and rugged Atlantic shores.
Barbados is a coral island with calm, turquoise water on its west side and dramatic surf on the east. The island has a long tradition of small, characterful hotels and plantation houses, plus rum shops, fish fries and a lively food scene.
The west coast
The Platinum Coast, between Holetown and Speightstown, has the island's most refined small hotels, with calm swimming beaches and restaurants.
The south and east
The south coast, around St. Lawrence Gap and Oistins, is livelier, with fish fries on Fridays. The east coast, around Bathsheba, is wild and surf-pounded, with a handful of small inns.
Bridgetown and the interior
Bridgetown, a UNESCO-listed historic garrison town, is the capital. Plantation houses and gardens dot the interior.
When to go
The dry season runs from December to May. The hurricane season is from June to November, though Barbados is rarely hit.
