Luxury Travel Experiences in Barbados

Bajan cuisine mixes African, Indian, British, and Indigenous influences that have been present throughout the island’s cultural heritage to present a flavourful selection of gastronomic delights that take advantage of the delicious fresh seafood and the variety of vegetables that grow in the tropical climate. You’ll get to enjoy things like flying fish, the national dish of Barbados, and pepperpot, a rich stew flavoured with hot peppers and spices. You should expect to see beachside restaurants with the freshest lobsters, shrimp, and crab piled high. If you’re looking to enjoy some street food, you’ll find some delicious roti filled with curried meats and conkies, a traditional sweet treat with coconuts, sweet potato, and pumpkin wrapped in banana leaves.

Barbados has a rich history in the production of rum dating back to the 17th century and is considered one of the oldest rum-producing regions in the world. Mount Gay Distilleries, established in 1703, is one of the longest-operating rum distilleries in the world, so if you’re a rum connoisseur, be sure to book a tour while you’re there. Those who are looking for something non-alcoholic should turn to the fresh coconut water that allows you to stay hydrated or try Mauby, a traditional drink made from the bark of the mauby tree with spices and sweetener. It’s bitter and consumed cold but makes for a refreshing alcohol-free beverage to try if you’ve yet to give it a chance.

If you’re looking for an adventure filled with the exploration of hidden coves and private beaches, then yachting might be the ideal way for you to enjoy your time in the Caribbean. With great winds, it’s an ideal place for those who enjoy or want to experience sailing in prime conditions, and with year-round sunshine, it’s a great spot. As the world cools down, the Caribbean still maintains the warm tropical climate, and therefore many yachts head to the Caribbean for the winter so they can still be enjoyed. With the crystal clear waters, it makes a great experience for those who want to explore underwater. There are plenty of sheltered bays, state-of-the-art marinas, and harbours which allow for yachts to anchor while you explore the islands.

Chartering a yacht in the Caribbean allows you to explore almost every part of the islands with ease. There’s plenty to do and see while you’re sailing around, but there are also plenty of water-based activities you can enjoy too. All of our yachts have a great selection of toys and tenders that you can enjoy during your charters, and if there’s something in particular you’d like, we’ll be able to arrange it in advance. You can enjoy snorkelling, jet skiing and wave runners, paddleboards, water slides, and you can even take some time to enjoy some fishing. You and your guests can enjoy your time on board your charter yacht however you please—time spent on deck, exploring the vast ocean, or lunches on private beaches—the land to sea adventure starts with a charter yacht.
