Barbados is a paradisiac Caribbean getaway that has joined several bucket lists in the past few years. The small island nation has shimmering stretches of palm-strewn sand lapped by the crystalline Caribbean waters making this a revered destination for so many couples. But there is much more to the dreamy island than its exceptional beaches. Barbados also has several attractions for traditional travelers, such as outstanding colonial bridges, crumbling plantations, and statues of Nelson in Bridgetown.
The Caribbean gem has had extensive development over the past few years, with several hotels set up to cater to the growing tourism industry. So, if you fancy a little time away from the kids, there are countless all-inclusive adults-only resorts in Barbados. Here is a complete guide to Barbados to help you plan your trip.

What is the weather like in Barbados?

Barbados is one of those places that you can visit any time of the year. Even in the wet season, you are still guaranteed sunshine after the downpour. The weather on the island is typically hot and humid, with only two seasons; wet and dry. The dry season runs from January to May and the wet from June to December. Temperatures between the two seasons don’t vary much. The wet season has highs of 31 °C and lows of 21 °C whereas the dry season has highs of 31 °C and lows of 23 °C.
The island is also located outside the hurricane corridor, making it safe from severe storms and natural disasters. Precipitation in the wet season comes and goes fast, with sunshine almost instantaneously. As earlier stipulated, Barbados is an endearing destination year-round. But, if you want a more intimate experience away from crowds, plan your trip from mid-April to June after the peak season and just before the rainy season.

What to expect from Barbados

Unlike most of the islands in the Caribbean, Barbados is typically flat with no volcanic origins. But where it lacks for physical features, the island overly compensates in breathtaking beaches, rich history, cultural events and activities. Today, Barbados is one of the most visited destinations on the planet. As a result, the island has received a significant facelift, with major facilities coming up to cater to the robust and growing tourism industry. In turn, the high season means costly accommodation and airfare for travelers.
The off-season (mid-April to mid-December) is a good alternative for budget travelers as the hotel fares and air tickets cost significantly less. During the season, there are also festivals such as the annual Kadooment Day (August), which is a great time to acquaint oneself with Barbadian culture. To cut further on costs, take guided hikes led by the Barbados National Trust every Sunday.
This small gem in the Caribbean offers an inimitable culinary trove with countless restaurants serving Barbadian, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisines. There are also numerous food tours, such as Pigtails and Breadfruit Tour, Lick De Bowl Food Tours, and Lickrish Tours.

What to do and see in Barbados

The impeccable Barbadian coastline is a no-brainer and just as endearing for watersport lovers and bystanders. There are countless activities here, such as kite surfing, kite-boarding, snorkeling, scuba-diving and others. And if you rather laze the day away with sand lodged between your toes, you are still in for a great time. There are countless beaches on the island. I recommend Crane Beach or Bottom Beach.
The island also has several local museums that offer great insight into the Caribbean gem, such as Arlington House Museum, Exchange Museum, and George Washington House, among others.
And for exceptional cuisines with inimitable views, head to the island’s North Point, where you find the Animal Flower Cave perched on a breezy clifftop on a 7-acre estate is one of the most revered restaurants on the island. However, nothing on the island compares to Oistins Fish Fry on Fridays. The lovely fish fry is a scrumptious delicacy you can’t afford to miss out on.
