Barbados is the ideal destination for relaxation and for active lifestyles. There are splendid cultural events, sporting activities and historic attractions. Whether you're planning a family holiday or sportsman's escape, romantic getaway or business trip, Barbados offers diverse vacation ideas.
Barbados is 166 square miles, and is divided into 11 parishes. With over 3,000 hours of sunshine yearly, the weather is almost always sunny and warm, cooled by the constant northeast trade winds. The average daytime temperature ranges between 84-88 degrees Fahrenheit, 29-31 degrees Celsius. Summer temperatures rarely go higher than 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).
Barbados is 4 hours behind GMT in the winter and 5 hours in the summer. 1 hour ahead of US Eastern Standard Time (EST) in the winter and the same during US Daylight Saving Time.
The water service in Barbados is reliable and the water supply is safe and refreshing to drink straight from the tap.
Fine dining in Barbados encompasses everything from gourmet ocean front restaurants and majestic great houses to authentic island "eateries" and festive downtown bistros. Enjoy a melange of diverse menus and island ambience-with meals accompanied by jazz, calypso, ringbang and steel drums.
The best time to go to Barbados is during the cooler, drier months of late winter and early spring (December through May). Mid-December to Mid-April is also the peak tourist season when prices are higher and hotels most crowded.
