This sophisticated and cosmopolitan Caribbean island, a favourite celebrity haunt offers miles of coral sands and is home to some of the world’s finest hotels and internationally acclaimed restaurants and golf courses.
From the pristine white beaches to the bustling towns of Bridgetown and St Lawrence Gap, there is a wealth of things to see and do.
Head to Harrison’s Cave, a natural phenomenon and discover a collection of stalactites, stalagmites, streams, lakes and waterfalls or head off on a catamaran tour and snorkel with turtles, experience world-class deep-sea fishing and diving or enjoy a day sailing on the ocean.
