Things To Do in Barbados

Barbados has its share of picturesque beaches, swaying palm trees, and luxury resorts, but the island’s versatility it what makes it shine. Travelers from all walks of life flock to Bimshire to indulge in a tropical getaway, and the best things to do in Barbados are designed to satisfy every type of tourist. Need some advice on the most unmissable spots on the map?

From laid-back villa vacations to action-packed Barbados tours, we have the inside scoop on everything you simply have to see, hear, and experience.

The top attractions in Barbados are situated throughout the island’s cities and regions, and where you begin your Barbados excursions depends on your vacationing style. Searching for a city-centric escape? Head to the capital city of Bridgetown to explore its stately government buildings, gorgeous churches, and bustling markets. The Careenage area is an especially good spot for dining and shopping, and you’ll find an array of must see boutiques and lovely cafes perched in this tourist favorite.

If surfing is on your itinerary, check out the seaside Barbados activities on the island’s southern coast. The entire region is covered with incredible places to catch a few waves, and both wind- and kite-surfers use the area as a jumping off point for thrilling adventures. Make sure to spend a little time in the village of Oistins; it’s not nearly as bustling as Bridgetown, but you’ll discover several local dining and shopping spots that perfectly capture the Bim vibe.

For a more luxurious getaway, base your vacation in the west coast city of Holetown. This is the top spot for beach-going travelers, and the upscale hotels offer unparalleled access to the soft sands, turquoise waters, and hushed landscapes. You won’t find much in the way of attractions, but in a region this beautiful, unwinding on the beach is more than enough.
