Holidays in Barbados

Stop life in its speedy tracks and slow the tempo down with holidays in Barbados. The very name of this island lovely conjours up images of locals limin' on the beach, rum punch in hand, bikini-clad beauties doing the Bajan-wine on the dance floor and bronze-backed men shimmying up coconut palm trunks. And it's precisely this laid-back, no worries approach to life that draws so many admirers to these shimmering shores.

Holidays to Barbados are so popular, that the islands list of celebrity fans grows longer by the day. So prepare yourself for a spot of star-gazing – of the celeb variety – when you travel to Barbados. You might cross paths with Simon Cowell, Richard E. Grant or the Beckhams in St James. Full of exclusive hotels and private villas, St James is the best place to look for something more upmarket. St Lawrence is where the party's at and if it's all inclusive you're after, this is the place to be. But if it's the best of the beautiful beaches you're after, head for St Peter or Rockley.
