Things To Do On A Barbados Holiday

Barbados Activities

While there are plenty of opportunities to do nothing more than relax by the pool, enjoy being pampered, or simply occupy a lounger on the beach, you'll find yourself curious to discover the rest of what Barbados has to offer. Surrounded by miles of crystal-clear ocean, Barbados plays hosts to come of the most incredible marine life in the world.

Watersports - sometimes included in Barbados package deals and all inclusive holidays - are hugely popular, with scuba diving, snorkelling, kayaking and windsurfing some of the best ways to enjoy the Caribbean Sea above and below the waves. Make the most out of Barbados’s offerings by scuba diving or snorkelling out in the deep blue with an instructor. They’ll take you to all of the best spots to see turtles, stingrays and a myriad of vibrant fish.

Barbados Food & Drink

There’s no shortage of traditional Bajan dishes to try on a Barbados holiday, which is why many come to the island and explore the local cuisines. A cornmeal dish called cou-cou – which is often compared to polenta – is a must-try. Often served with fresh flying fish and plenty of rich gravy, it’s a hearty dish that’s perfect after a day of watersports and exploration.

Enjoy everything foodie Barbados has to offer from seafood salads and fishcakes to sweet bread and polenta fries for lunch, all of which will have you craving more. Macaroni pie is another popular dish on the island. It's essentially a creamy and delicious version of your typical mac and cheese but with the unusual addition of mustard or ketchup to add flavour and colour.
