Barbados is more than just its famous beaches and luxury resorts, it’s an island full of rich culture, stunning landscapes, and hidden spots waiting to be explored. If you’re planning a summer getaway, take the road less travelled and experience the island like a local. From secret beaches to vibrant food spots, here’s your guide to discovering Barbados’ best-kept secrets.

 

Find Your Own Slice of Paradise: Hidden Beaches

While Crane Beach and Miami Beach get most of the attention, some of the most breathtaking stretches of sand are tucked away from the crowds. Shark Hole, a small, secluded cove on the southeast coast, feels like a natural swimming pool surrounded by cliffs. If you’re up for an adventure, head to Bottom Bay, a postcard-perfect beach with coconut trees and turquoise waters, ideal for a quiet picnic or an afternoon of relaxation.

Local Bites: Where to Eat Off the Beaten Path

Forget the tourist traps—some of the best food in Barbados comes from roadside stalls and small family-run spots. Cuz’s Fish Shack near Pebbles Beach serves up the best fish cutters (Bajan-style fish sandwiches) on the island. For an authentic taste of local cuisine, stop by Lemon Arbour in St. John on a Saturday for a plate of pigtails and a cold Banks beer, a favourite weekend tradition among Bajans. And if you’re looking for a hidden gem for dinner, The Bay Tavern in Martin’s Bay is known for its fresh seafood and laid-back atmosphere right by the ocean.

Explore Beyond the Beach: Nature & Adventure

Barbados is full of lush landscapes and outdoor adventures if you know where to look. Hunte’s Gardens, tucked away in the hills of St. Joseph, feels like a tropical fairy tale with its winding paths and vibrant flowers. For something truly unique, take a dip in Animal Flower Cave, a sea cave on the northern tip of the island with natural rock pools and stunning ocean views. If you’re into hiking, the Hackleton’s Cliff Trail offers panoramic views of the island’s rugged east coast, far from the bustling tourist areas.

Experience Barbados by Night: Local Vibes & Live Music

Nightlife in Barbados isn’t just about fancy bars—it’s about energy, music, and good vibes. Skip the usual tourist spots and head to John Moore Bar, a tiny rum shop right on the water, where you can sip on a rum punch with the locals. On Fridays, the real action is at Oistins Fish Fry, where fresh seafood, live music, and dancing come together for an unforgettable night out. If jazz and live bands are more your style, Blakey’s on the Boardwalk offers a chilled-out atmosphere with great music and even better views.

Get to Know the Real Barbados

The best way to experience Barbados is to slow down and take it all in. Drive through the countryside and stop at the small villages, where friendly locals are always up for a chat. Visit a local market like Cheapside Market in Bridgetown to pick up fresh tropical fruits. Or simply grab a chair at a beachside rum shack and watch the sunset—sometimes, the best experiences are the simplest ones.

Barbados has something for everyone, but the real magic happens when you go beyond the usual tourist spots. This summer, take the time to explore, taste, and experience the island like a local. Whether it’s finding a secret beach, discovering your new favourite rum shop, or hiking to a breathtaking view, there’s always something unexpected waiting for you in Barbados.

So pack your bags, bring your sense of adventure, and get ready to experience the real Barbados. You won’t regret it!

You have just purchased your new holiday home and want to decorate and set it up for rental.  

Our Property Management team at Blue Sky Luxury Barbados has lots of experience helping new owners set up and manage their new holiday homes. Here are some tips on how to set up your property as a Short Term holiday rental.

• Stick to a neutral color palette. Most guests prefer soothing tones. A color palette of white, tan, or grey,  is also timeless, so it saves you time and money as it relates to updating your decor. If you love color, then add a pop of color to your neutral palette. This way, you inject a bit of personality and your style while making your guests feel comfortable. 

 

• When choosing furnishings – select durable materials that will withstand multiple uses. Some suntan lotions may ruin materials such as suede or velvet so ensure that you understand the quality of the furnishings you are purchasing.

 

• Most of us love ‘knick-knacks’ but we recommend that you keep your decor welcoming and reduce the number of  ‘knick-knacks.  For the period that guests are renting, they want to feel that it is their home.  Reduce or eliminate personal items, especially personal photos, and breakable valuables.

 

• We highly recommend white linens – at least 3 sets.  White linens are easy to wash, they help create a feeling of calm and provide the perfect backdrop for a pop of colour!  Have one set in use, one set in the cupboard, and one in the wash.

 

• Cutlery, crockery, and glassware – Our rule here is: your property can hold 10 guests maximum so have at least maximum capacity of the property plus 50% more. I.e 15 glasses

 

• Ensure that usable items such as electronics are in good working order.  Don’t keep an old radio ‘just because’.  If it’s there, make sure it is in good working order, if not remove it.

 

• The team at Blue Sky Luxury always recommends best practices as it relates to protecting the environment. To economise on electricity – use LED or energy-saving bulbs.  We also recommend that you purchase Inverter type AC units. This helps to reduce your electricity bill and your environmental footprint.

 

• Ensure that your Internet package is reliable and has adequate coverage – especially if your property is a large one Make sure it is the fastest speed available. 

 

• Install a water tank.  When water outages occur, you want to ensure that your guests have access to potable running water. If there are also adverse weather conditions, you want to ensure that you can assure guests that they will always have access to the necessities.  

 

• Choose a good Property Management company that will treat your property as their own. We cannot reiterate this enough. Most owners are not on the island and you want to know that you have a trusted partner to protect your assets. A full-service company is ideal. This way, you get better rates and better service for your property all in one place. A full-service company with great Reservations, Concierge and Guest Services, and Human Resources departments, can assist you in hiring the right staff for your property.

Are your friends trying to convince you to visit Barbados, but you are not sold on the trip? Check out our five reasons why Barbados should be your next vacation destination. 

It’s easy to get to Barbados

In most cases, Barbados is just a flight away and is one of the most easily accessible islands in the Caribbean. For North American visitors, direct flights leave cities including Miami, New York, Boston, or Toronto bound for the Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) and arrive in five hours or less. Our friends in Europe, fear not, as direct flights depart most major cities including London, Munich, and Manchester. 

PS: Barbados also caters to private jets and yachts. Dedicated private hangars and ports provide entry to the island.

The Rum 

Barbados is the Birthplace of Rum. Is this a reason to visit? Yes. We do believe so!

Tours are available at Mount Gay Rum Distillery, St. Nicholas Abbey, and Foursquare Rum Distillery and will allow you to fully immerse yourself (not only) in the rum-making process but in a bottle or two! Barbados has four rum distilleries currently in operation:

1. Mount Gay Distillery began producing rum in 1703 and is the world’s oldest continually operating distillery with 320 years under its belt. 
2. In the north of the island, we have St. Nicholas Abbey producing an elegant and classic rum called “Annabelle.”
3. West Indies Rum Distillery, much to Captain Jack Sparrow’s delight – should he ever run aground in Barbados, is located on Brighton Beach and produces the famous Cockspur rum.
4. The parish of St Philip is where Foursquare Rum Distillery and Heritage Park call home. The distillery produces the Real McCoy and the award-winning Doorly’s rum. 

The Heritage

Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison join an elite and protected list of heritage sites like the Great Barrier Reef, The Great Wall of China, and the Taj Mahal. 

Cit by UNESCO as “an outstanding example of British colonial architecture consisting of a well-preserved old town built in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which testifies to the spread of Great Britain’s Atlantic colonial empire. The property also includes a nearby military garrison which consists of numerous historic buildings. With its serpentine urban layout, the property testifies to a different approach to colonial town-planning compared to the Spanish and Dutch colonial cities of the region which were built along a grid plan.”

Come journey through the streets of Bridgetown, explore the Blackwoods Screw Dock, tour the Nidhe Israel Synagogue & museum, the oldest synagogue in the western hemisphere. Visit the Barbados Museum and The Garrison Savannah. Both places have knowledgeable and interactive tour guides on the UNESCO World Heritage Site walking tours. 

The Food 

Barbados is considered the culinary capital of the Caribbean. If food is your passion, join us in October 2023 for the Barbados Food and Rum festival and embark on the gastronomy tour of a lifetime. The cuisine in Barbados is exceptional. The influence of British, African, Irish, and Creole with adaptations from India is hard to duplicate. 

Barbadian classics include Macaroni pie, roast breadfruit, fish cakes, pudding and souse, and our national dish Cou-Cou and flying fish. If you do nothing else you MUST visit Oistins Bay Garden. You will find fresh fish, community, and local entertainment.

The Beaches

The island has over 70 pristine beaches with miles of crescent-shaped white sand and is world-renowned as some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. 

Popular spots include Silver Sands Beach- famous for kite surfing. Rockley Beach on the south coast connects to the boardwalk and offers great swimming options.

Travel to Sunset Crest and Mullins Beach on the west for swimming, snorkeling, and catamaran cruises.

If you wish to unwind and bask in the sun or gain an adrenaline rush with watersports, then Barbados is the place for you.

Barbados is a beautiful Caribbean island with stunning beaches, crystal clear water, and vibrant nightlife. The South Coast of the island is known for its laid-back atmosphere, perfect for those looking for a more relaxed vacation. As locals, we have explored the South Coast extensively and compiled a list of must-visit spots for anyone planning a trip to Barbados.

Beaches

The South Coast is home to some of Barbados’ best beaches. Dover Beach, located in the heart of St. Lawrence Gap, is a popular spot for swimmers and sunbathers. Its clear, turquoise waters and soft, white sand make it a perfect spot for relaxation.

Looking for something more secluded, Miami Beach is a great option. Located in Oistins, this beach is perfect for those looking for a quieter spot. It is great for snorkeling and exploring the underwater world.

Another great beach to visit is Accra Beach, also known as Rockley Beach. This popular spot located in Christ Church, lined with palm trees, offers a wide range of activities, including swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. 

Local Cuisine

No trip to the South Coast is complete without sampling some of the local cuisines. We recommend trying a traditional Bajan dish like Flying Fsh and Cou Cou, or Macaroni Pie. For a sweet treat, try the famous rum cake or coconut bread. Many restaurants in the area serve these dishes, so you’re sure to find something delicious to try.

When it comes to dining on the South Coast of Barbados, there are plenty of options to choose from. Here are a few of our top picks:

• Cafe Luna: This restaurant, located at Little Arches Hotel, offers stunning views of the ocean and a menu of delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
• Champers: With its beautiful oceanfront location and menu of fresh seafood, Champers is a must-visit restaurant on the South Coast.
• Tapas: This Spanish-inspired restaurant serves up a variety of tapas dishes, as well as larger plates for those with a bigger appetite.
• Blakey’s Bar and Restaurant: This casual spot is a popular hangout for locals and tourists alike. They serve up a variety of dishes, including fresh seafood and burgers.

Nightlife

The South Coast is home to some of the best nightlife on the island. St. Lawrence Gap is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. It’s filled with restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, making it a great place to party the night away. The vibe is lively and fun, and there’s always something going on.

Try heading to Oistins Fish Fry. This weekly event occurs on Friday nights and is a great place to sample local foods, enjoy live music, and experience local culture.

Activities

If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity, we recommend checking out the Barbados Boardwalk. This scenic walkway spans 1.2 miles along the South Coast and offers stunning ocean views. It’s a great way to exercise while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Along the way, you’ll also find many restaurants and bars where you can stop for a bite or a refreshing drink.

Another great activity is exploring the Historic Garrison area. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to historic buildings and museums, including the Barbados Museum and George Washington House. It’s a great way to learn about the island’s rich history and culture.

For those who love water sports, the South Coast is a great place to visit for surfing or paddleboarding. Surfers Point is a popular spot for surfing, while the calm waters of Carlisle Bay are perfect for paddleboarding. Both activities offer a great way to enjoy the beautiful waters of Barbados while getting some exercise.

And for those looking for a more relaxing activity, we recommend visiting some of the many spas available. With several treatments, from massages to facials to body wraps, you are sure to find something that will leave you feeling pampered and refreshed.

Footprints is divine! It’s a large beachfront villa with a romantic and luxury feature – an outdoor bathtub. Located just off the main bedroom, the tub has fantastic views to the ocean and pools. Yes, pools. Breathtaking is an understatement of the views from the roof deck. Here, you can easily accommodate a romantic night under the stars. 

We hope our ideas for the perfect romantic getaway in Barbados spark your interest. Enjoy luxury your way and celebrate love – we are here for it!
