Magical Barbados sums up the dream Caribbean vacation. Paradise sits on your doorstep and palm fringed soft sandy beaches are never far away.
     The rhythm, smell and taste of the tropics greets you on a dream island blessed with a sizzling tropical climate.

     Barbados is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands, so far out of the path of hurricanes that the vegetation is tall and lush. There's a tropical forest in the middle of the island, called the Flower Forest. Barbados is waiting to be discovered –  the natural beauty of tropical flowers, stunning rural landscapes, plantation houses, historic towns steeped in Bajan culture. There are waving fields of sugar cane, fringed by chattal houses, cosmopolitan towns with balconied boutiques and modern shopping centres. And of course, the delicious Mount Gay rum.

     The Platinum coast, on the west, has a gorgeous silvery shoreline land snorkelling in the clear turquoise waters here is a great way to explore the shoals of tropical fish living in the coral reef. In the south, tall cliffs rise and fall, separated by glistening sands and quiet secluded bays while on the east coast, the dramatic Atlantic Ocean and rugged rocks are wild and wonderful and ideal for surfing.
