Why Barbados Is an Ideal Destination for Any Type of Traveler

As we approach our second winter of the pandemic, the Caribbean is proving to be an especially popular international escape among American travelers. Relatively close to home, with plenty of COVID-19 protection measures in place and beautiful, warm weather year-round, the region ticks all the boxes for vacationers looking to get back out into the world and escape the daily grind.

Over the course of the pandemic, several islands have even instituted longer visas for foreigners to come to their countries to live and work remotely while enjoying the idyllic lifestyle they offer and enable long-term visitors to delve deeper into their cultures and unique heritage.

With a colonization history that dates back nearly 400 years, every place on the island comes with a story. Culture and history lovers might enjoy a visit to Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which boasts wonderfully well-preserved examples of British colonial architecture. Onsite, visitors will discover numerous attractions, tours, libraries, museums and shopping opportunities.

Barbados is also an ideal spot to satisfy the needs of a growing number of wellness travelers. Visitors will find rejuvenation, not only in the calming and reenergizing waters of the Caribbean Sea but through stays at dedicated wellness retreats or standalone experiences, such as spa treatments, yoga or meditation classes. Active options, including hiking, biking, snorkeling, scuba diving and paddleboarding, are equally restorative for mind, body and soul.
