Barbados, Caribbean

Barbados is a destination for true travelers. It was designed that way by Mother Nature. A little more remote... a little harder to get to. And a whole lot harder to leave. An island for people who have a burning desire to take a vacation...and never, ever give it back.

Weather: Barbados pampers its visitors with over 3000 hours of sunshine yearly. The weather is almost always sunny and warm, cooled by the constant north-east trade winds. The average daytime temperature ranges between 84 and 88 degrees Fahrenheit, 29 to 31 degrees Celsius. Summer temperatures rarely exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit, 32 degrees Celsius.

Language: English is spoken everywhere, so you will immediately feel at home in Barbados. However, don't be surprised if you hear the musical Bajan dialect spoken throughout the island.

Activities: Barbados offers you everything from romance to heart-racing sports. You can worship the sun on a secluded beach or sail our seas aboard a colorful catamaran. Enjoy the fresh seafood at a picturesque harbor bistro or just watch the yachts ease by. Cheer a world-class cricket team or test your own skills at an award-winning golf course. Join the dancing parade at one of our local festivals or dance the night away at one of our fabulous nightclubs. Barbados. It's 166 square miles of endless vacation possibilities.
