Your Vacation in Barbados

There are over 10 different types of Barbados vacations that one can enjoy but I will only be mentioning the 5 most popular reasons people travel to the island.

Maybe I'll add more in the future but here are the best ones!

1. Beach Vacation
2. Family Vacation
3. Romantic Vacation
4. Luxury Vacation
5. Golf Vacation

Well I've got to say that this one is obvious. This is the most common reason anyone chooses to travel to a Caribbean destination including the number one reason anyone chooses a Barbados vacation.

Barbados has been blessed with over 70 miles of white sandy beaches and tropical year round weather, with temperatures in the range of 27 °C (80°F) to 30°C (86°F). This allows you to grab your favourite book, your beach towel and tanning lotion.

This is therefore the best way for anyone to de-stress and get away from it all. This is a time to focus on you because you are the most important person.

Some of the most popular beaches in Barbados to vacation on are Crane Beach, Accra Beach, Sandy Lane Beach and Payne's Bay.

This is another very popular choice for a vacation in Barbados.

Yes it is true that you can travel to Barbados to get away from it all, including those noisy misbehaved kids of yours and that needy husband, but wouldn't you rather share this Caribbean experience with them?

There are so many things to do in Barbados, other than tan, that are suited for families. One of the most popular being visiting the island's Wildlife Reserve. This will allow you and your kids to meet our infamous "Green Monkeys".

You can also take a buffet lunch cruise aboard a Catamaran which will allow you to go snorkeling with our sea turtles. Trust me the smile on your children's faces will be one you will never forget.

The third type of vacation you can enjoy, and one I recommend enjoying without the kids, is a romantic vacation in Barbados.

The Caribbean will forever be a beautiful romance destination where many choose to propose, exchange wedding vows, honeymoon and even renew their vows.

There are a large number of more secluded spots throughout the island, such as Harrismith Beach and Bottom Bay. Here you will have the perfect opportunity to pop that question.

The west coast of the island is also blessed with picturesque sunsets which you can embrace together while sitting on the sandy shores of one of the many beaches here.

Some of the more luxurious resorts are also designed to cater for the couple seeking a romantic experience.

These include intimate boutique luxury hotels like The House Hotel. This is a 34-room adult only beach front hotel on the west coast or Platinum coast of the island. There is also Little Arches, a 10-room adult only boutique hotel, located along the south coast of the island.

No you don't have to be on a romantic vacation specifically to enjoy luxury in Barbados. Everyone deserves to be pampered whenever they wish!

If you do decide to enjoy a Barbados luxury vacation you will want to choose to stay along the island's "Platinum" west coast. It is here that you will find the island's best beaches and most luxurious hotels.

The most popular of which is The Sandy Lane Golf and Spa Resort. This 112-room luxury resort in Barbados is the top choice by the rich and famous and is your choice for ultimate luxury.

The Sandy Lane Hotel offers all the bells and whistles from airport concierge pickup to 3 great golf courses.

You can also dine at high end restaurants such as "The Cliff", located on a clifftop overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Here you will enjoy first class service and amazing meals at high end prices.

Last but not the least by any means is a golf vacation in Barbados. This one is for those golf enthusiasts dads (and mums!) that have always dreamnt of a round or two in the tropics.

Barbados offers seven golf courses to choose from with a wide range of difficulties. It won't matter where you choose to stay on the island, you will be in reach of a great course to play on.

The most popular golf courses for experienced visiting golfers are The Royal Westmoreland Golf Course as well as the golf courses maintained by The Sandy Lane Golf and Spa Resort. These championship style 18 hole golf courses have been designed by the best golf architects, such as Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Tom Fazio.

There is also The Barbados Golf Club, a 18 hole, par 72, 6,805 yard golf course that is ideal for the intermediate to advanced players staying in accommodations along the south coast of the island.

One of the greatest things about choosing to experience a golf vacation in Barbados is that most of the hotels and resorts offer discount rates and preferred tee off times to their guests. This allows you to not only play golf on the island but also to save money while doing it!
