If you’re travelling on a passport from the UK, you won’t need a visa to enjoy everything Barbados has to offer.
Barbados has its own currency: the Barbadian Dollar (BBD). But US dollars are widely accepted almost everywhere - shops, restaurants, taxis, hotels.
Barbados serves up flavour at every price point. For a taste of authentic Bajan flavour, head to the famous Oistins Fish Fry or a local food stall. Meals like grilled fish, rice and peas, and macaroni pie will cost you around $15–$30 BBD (that’s about £6–£12). Delicious, generous, and budget-friendly. Treating yourself? A three-course meal for two at a mid-range restaurant will typically run $60–$100 BBD (£25–£40). Enjoy ocean views and freshly prepared cuisine with a touch of elegance.
Direct flights to Bridgetown (BGI) with Virgin Atlantic average around 9 hours.
Barbados in December is your tropical escape come true, with around 8 hours of glorious sunshine a day, and daytime temperatures of around 29°C and a comfy 23°C in the evenings.
Crop Over lasts for about 3 months, kicking off in June and reaching its dazzling peak in early August with the iconic Grand Kadooment Day. Hotels and flights book up fast during Crop Over, so if you’re heading down, we suggest you get those plans locked in early.
The heart of cricket in Barbados is the legendary Kensington Oval, located in Bridgetown, the island’s vibrant capital. It’s one of the most iconic cricket grounds in the Caribbean (and arguably the entire world).
From beach bliss to cultural gems, this island brings the heat.
Soak up the sun:
Barbados is home to some of the Caribbean’s best beaches - head to Carlisle Bay for calm waters and a swim with sea turtles, or Bathsheba for surfing and wild beauty.

Explore Bridgetown:
Wander through historic Bridgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage Site packed with colonial charm and Caribbean flavour.
Go Underground at Harrison’s Cave:
