Tropical island nuptials

Talk about a beach wedding. Barbados has 92 kilometres of long blonde beaches, so you’ve got plenty to choose from for your venue. Add palm trees, calm seas and historic towns and you’ve got the perfect backdrop for your wedding snaps.  

And if you’d like a reception with a foot-tapping tune, head inshore for calypso and reggae beats, attention-grabbing food and buzzing nightlife. For the wedding breakfast, Barbados has some of the best restaurants in the Caribbean, thanks to all that net-fresh catch. 

It’s got plenty when it comes to time for two – P pitch a double hammock in a spot like peaceful Maxwell or Holetown Beach, wander hand in hand through a UNESCO-listed town or push the boat out and sail across the tranquil waters. Barbados weddings turn into Barbados honeymoons in an instant.
