Luxury holidays to Barbados

St Lawrence

St Lawrence is a great spot for first-time travellers. Platinum-white beaches swish along the coastline, crowned by luxury hotels. Take the Ocean Two Resort and Residences. It serves up a platter of chic pools, including a rooftop spot with panoramic vistas over the Caribbean Sea. Hotels here are an easy stroll away from St Lawrence Gap — a road lined with souvenir huts, lively restaurants and Bajan nightclubs.

Hastings

Hastings is only a five-minute taxi ride away from the capital city of Bridgetown. Four-star hotels here include the Radisson Aquatica Resort, which settles on a white-sand beach. Catamaran cruises and scuba diving trips set off from the jetty next door.

The Platinum Coast

For a spot of designer shopping, make a beeline for the westerly ‘Platinum Coast’. The high-end parish of St James is home to Holetown, where a well-heeled crowd browses glittering jewellery shops and spa boutiques. The likes of Louis Vuitton and Gucci also make themselves at home here.
