Once known as the Caribbean’s ‘Little England’, Barbados has long been a special favourite with British visitors - thanks to its dazzling palette of palm-fringed beaches, impressively stylish resort hotels, cosmopolitan mood and colourful colonial past.  It is everything you expect of a tropical island, and a little more besides. The soft, sandy beaches, inviting blue waters and swaying coconut palms are unmistakably Caribbean, while Nelson's Column, cricket and afternoon tea are British traditions. There are many interesting places to visit in Barbados, the Capital Bridgetown is a charming place to wander or explore the East Coast of Barbados with its pounding surf, rolling hills and fields of sugar cane replacing the tranquil beaches so evident elsewhere on the island. Travel by car, VIP escorted tour or take a helicopter trip to discover the many delights this beautiful island has to offer
