Barbados is one of the most popular Caribbean destinations for its beautiful beaches and pristine environment.

You can sleep under a starry sky but there are plenty of luxury villas and some of the most memorable vacation activities. There are many villas in Barbados available along the beautiful beaches close to cultural and natural wonders found nowhere else. Here is your ultimate checklist for making the most of your time staying in villas in Barbados:

Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

Carlisle Bay near Bridgetown is famous for underwater wildlife and ancient shipwrecks visible to scuba divers and snorkelers. You are likely to see sea turtles, schools of fish, and rock lobsters. Carlisle offers free parking with nearby shops and restaurants.

Nature and Wildlife Tours

Hunte’s Garden is unbeatable for local flora and fauna. Owned by horticulturist Anthony Hunte, it hosts a variety of plants and often hummingbirds and monkeys. Hunte is usually available to answer questions.

Harrison’s Cave is an impressive inland limestone cavern that continues to astound visitors. It extends more than a mile and is easily reachable from many villas in Barbados.

Nightlife and Entertainment

Saint Lawrence Gap is perfect for experiencing Barbados’s incredible nightlife. The famous Tuk band plays rukatuk music, based on colonial British military regimental bands and African culture. There are numerous restaurants and entertainment options close to villas in Barbados.

Water Sports

Surfers love the Atlantic waters of Bathsheba Beach on the west side. Bathsheba Beach’s Soup Bowl is its most popular surfing spot and even used to host international surfing competitions. For those looking to swim, however, Bathsheba Beach’s rough waters and underwater rock formations make it an unsafe choice.

Dover Beach is a perfect spot for surfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, sailing, windsurfing, and jet skiing. Dover Beach has a designated swimming area, too, a safe distance from its riptides. Various vendors rent out water sports equipment at both Dover Beach and Carlisle Bay, making either a great choice for marine activities. If these are your priority, look for villas nearby.

Sights

Bathsheba Beach is home to some of the best sights in Barbados, leading many to book vacation villas nearby. Photographers love it for its abandoned homes surrounded by stunning rock formations. If beauty and history like nowhere else are up your alley, you will want to visit.

Beaches

The south and west sides of the island are generally where people stay when they want to hang out on the beach with a book or a drink.

Dover Beach, located a few miles south of the Barbados Boardwalk on the south coast, is a favorite spot for beachgoers. Dover Beach is in Oistins, in Christ Church parish. It tends to be less crowded than other beaches but it is easy to get to by bus or car from many villas in Barbados. Parking is free but limited.

Food and Drink

If you have any interest in Caribbean rum, St. Nicholas Abbey will become a treasured experience. The Abbey distills its rum in small batches using traditional methods, setting it apart from other island distilleries. It offers two-hour tours that are popular with visitors, not least because of the rum samples.
