Barbados is some distance from the other islands in the Windward chain; its closest neighbour, Mustique lies over 100 miles to the west.
INTRODUCTION
The island became independent in 1966, but British influence can still be felt strongly through the luxurious Barbados villas, various churches, plantation houses, fortifications and gardens that dot the landscape. Cricket is still the island's most popular sport and there are certainly worse ways to while away a few hours than as a spectator. The strong calendar of polo games and horse racing mean that there is plenty of action to excite the armchair sports fan. These events also provide a great insight into island life. For the more active, Barbados has a number of world-class golf courses; the highlands region of Scotland provides excellent hiking opportunities and watersports enthusiasts should be sure to check out Bathsheba on the east coast. This stunningly romantic and rugged beach is consistently pounded by the Atlantic creating one of the best surf breaks in the world, at least that's the opinion of no lesser mortal than 10 times world champion, Kelly Slater. The south and west coasts provide the typically relaxed and sheltered pristine white beaches and exotic luxury villas in Barbados one can expect to find within the Caribbean, whilst the gentle waters are teeming with shoals of brightly-coloured fish. Check out the great fish market at Oistins, a fine place to indulge in a cold Banks beer whilst watching the world go by. If you are in town for the Friday night fish fry, a taste of the dorado or mahi-mahi is a must. While Barbados doesn't provide the complete escape from modern life that some destinations such as Anguilla or the Bahamas do, there are quieter corners, particularly in the north where one can appreciate the wonderful seclusion by simply lying back and gazing up into the brilliant star-filled night sky from their deluxe Barbados holiday villa. Barbados provides something more than just stupendous beaches; think lush hills, colourful villages and a fascinating history documented through some fine museums.
