Few islands do the Caribbean dream quite as well as Barbados. After all, this is the island where you can combine sandy white beaches with adventures exploring its lush interior. It is studded with historic monuments, and life moves to those catchy calypso rhythms. Barbados may be about the size of the Isle of Wight, but it has a little something for everyone, whether you crave adventure or serenity, cultural immersion or natural connection.
Even with just a week, you’ll be able to find a favourite beach, step back in time and soak up diverse landscapes, and there is so much to inspire you when planning your trip. Simply book with Virgin Atlantic Holidays and your inflight experience means you’ll be relaxed on arrival (see boxout).
