The island of Barbados is a Caribbean gem rich in cultural, heritage, sporting, culinary, and eco experiences. It is surrounded by idyllic white sand beaches and is the only coral island in the Caribbean. With over 400 restaurants and eateries, Barbados is the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island is also known as the birthplace of rum, commercially producing and bottling the finest blends since the 1700s. In fact, many can experience the island’s historic rums at the annual Barbados Food and Rum Festival. The island also hosts events like the annual Crop Over Festival, where A-lists celebrities like our very own Rihanna are often spotted, and the annual Run Barbados Marathon, the largest marathon in the Caribbean. As the motorsport island, it is home to the leading circuit-racing facility in the English-speaking Caribbean. Known as a sustainable destination, Barbados was named one of the world\u2019s Top Nature Destinations in 2022 by the Traveler\u2019s Choice Awards.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
