Barbados is a destination for true travelers, designed that way by Mother Nature. It's a little more remote, a little harder to get to, and a whole lot harder to leave, making it perfect for people with a burning desire to take a vacation--and never, ever give it back.

Weather:
Barbados pampers its visitors with over 3,000 hours of sunshine yearly. The weather is almost always sunny and warm, kept mild by the constant northeast trade winds. Average daytime temperature ranges between 84-88 degrees Fahrenheit (29-31 degrees Celsius), with summer temperatures rarely exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).

Language:
English is spoken everywhere, so you’ll immediately feel at home in Barbados. Just don’t be surprised if you hear the musical Bajan dialect spoken throughout the island.

Activities:
Barbados offers you everything from romance to heart-racing sports. Worship the sun on a secluded beach or sail the seas aboard a colorful catamaran. Enjoy the fresh seafood at a picturesque harbor bistro or just watch the yachts ease by. Cheer on a world-class cricket team or test your driving and putting skills at an award-winning golf course. Join the dancing parade at a local festival or dance the night away at one of many fabulous nightclubs.

Barbados. It's 166 square miles of endless vacation possibilities.
