Private island travel in Holetown

Where the water stays calm on the west coast of Barbados lies Holetown, a small town with beach bars, shops and hotels between palms. The Caribbean side of the island has gentler waves than the Atlantic east coast, and that makes the beach pleasant for children too. At Holetown Beach you swim in the morning, then head to Kirt's Beach Bar for a snack with a sea view. Snorkellers visit the Folkestone Marine Park, where an artificial reef made from a sunken ship attracts fish.

If you prefer to stay on land, drive to Hunte's Gardens or to Harrison's Cave, a stalactite cave in the interior. In the catalogue, Holetown has The Sandpiper, Mango Bay Hotel, Colony Club and Fairmont Royal Pavilion, all on the coast. The months from December to April bring dry, warm days. Speightstown lies in the north and feels somewhat more authentic, and a trip there is worthwhile for an afternoon.

How much peace you want away from the town centre is something Island Escapes discusses with you in a video call before the accommodation is fixed.

For Barbados, the country information gives agreed individually, and Island Escapes checks when beach and lagoon are at their best.
