If you choose well. One resort, on the calm side of Barbados — a few hundred yards of beach and a gentler, more graceful pace than the island's busier south.

Welcome

Barbados is the Caribbean's most cosmopolitan island, and its west coast is its softer side. Pink-stone cottages, scented groves, and a sea that holds its temperature year-round. Our single Barbados resort, The Club Barbados, sits on the long western bay — calm water, low horizon, and the rum that started it all just up the coast.

What you'll find

A different kind of Caribbean.

The calm side

The Caribbean (not the Atlantic) side of the island. Seventy miles of coastline, much of it sheltered.

On the water

Hobie Cats, snorkelling, paddle-boarding, windsurfing on the calmer days. The annual sea temperature sits between twenty-one and twenty-seven — comfortable in February, warm in August.

Where rum began

Mount Gay distillery is twenty minutes up the road — the world's oldest commercial rum, made within sight of the cane fields. A guided tasting at the Rum Shack is the more comfortable introduction.

When to visit

Winter is a popular time to visit the Caribbean, between the months of November and April, as the average temperature is still hitting 26 degrees and rainfall is minimal. For higher temperatures and fewer crowds, the summer is a good time to visit, outside the peak travel months.
