Almeria Villa

Barbados is often called the Caribbean’s brightest jewel, full of a natural charm that is epitomised by its people, the Bajans. Hospitality and friendliness is at the core of Bajan philosophy and luxury holidays on the island are enhanced by the natural generosity of the people.

Barbados holidays are noted as a byword for luxury. The island swims in a blue-green sea where the clean beaches are of pure white sand, evoking childhood memories of seaside holidays. Fringed by coral reefs, Barbados is blessed by its warm, tropical climate, made even more pleasant by the constant breeze that keeps temperatures at a level to enjoy without overheating.

The east coast of the island attracts fresher winds from the Atlantic Ocean, whipping up the surf and providing fantastic conditions for surfers and windsurfers. In the quieter waters of the west there are opportunities for scuba diving and snorkelling, and anglers will always want to rise to the challenge of deep-sea fishing for shark or giant marlin.

Children are especially welcome in Barbados, with a whole raft of activities for them both on the water and on land. Organised sports, fun and games will keep their attention while the parents have an opportunity to take a quiet meal together or simply soak up the sun on a beach or by the pool.

Gastronomic delights consist of a multitude of fish, including lobster and barracuda as well as meat, all served up with imaginative sauces and side dishes in comfortable and welcoming restaurants. Desserts are frequently stunning concoctions with fruit and cream, the ideal way to end a perfect day.
