Now is the time to be planning this idyllic break be it for a romantic honeymoon, a luxury wedding or to take advantage of the Barbados Welcome Stamp and stay for a whole year to live and work in luxury.
For couples, the Caribbean hotspot is the perfect place to share an experience together, so this month we look at the top 5 romantic things to do on the island.
Romantic Beach Walks
Every girl wants that magical moment. Walking hand-in- hand with the one they love on a tranquil white sandy beach as the sun goes down is a truly unforgettable memory for any couple.
Barbados may be popular, but with more than 80 beaches, couples can easily find a quiet stretch of sand to unwind and get away from it all.
The west coast of the island is a great spot to take in the tropical views and feel the romance, this is also a perfect spot for those looking for a stunning proposal location.
Island Safari Tour
Visit the highest cliff on the island where Jim Hackleton, devastated by unrequited love, rode his horse off the edge and crashed into the sea below. Professional guides take tours through the gullies, forests, remote bays and roads with coastal views exposing the hidden secrets of Barbados. Embrace the nature, history, culture and folklore of Barbados at captivating places of interest, usually inaccessible to ordinary vehicles, posing no challenge to the fleet of 4x4 Land Rovers.
Café Luna
Barbados is often referred to as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, and it’s not difficult to see why with venues like Café Luna. Boasting a truly unforgettable rooftop venue with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, Café Luna sets the scene for a perfect wedding day in an intimate setting. This is arguably one of the islands most romantic restaurants providing Mediterranean-style al fresco dining.
Natural Wonders
There is more to Barbados than stunning beaches for romantic walks. There are spectacular tropical flowers throughout the island, but Andromeda Gardens, the Flower Forest and Orchid World best showcase the island’s rich botanical blossoms. These tropical gardens are perfect for a leisurely stroll and are an idyllic setting for a wedding ceremony. Hike up the Arbib Heritage and Nature Trail, an outstanding trail that received Islands magazine’s 1999 Ecotourism Award, to discover the gullies and environs of Speightstown, Barbados’ most northern town. Wander through Welchman Hall Gully, a tropical forest that features incredible vegetation and a nature trail and is also a birdwatcher’s paradise.
Catamaran Cruise
Picture yourself, with your partner, relaxing on the deck of a luxurious catamaran while gliding over the sparkling, crystal-clear Caribbean waters with unrivalled views of the palm-fringed beaches. Cruises are available throughout the day. For a once-in-a-lifetime romantic event book a trip out to the coral reef at Folkestone Marine Park and enjoy the magical experience of swimming amongst endangered sea turtles that are tame enough to be fed and touched.
