Barbados holidays are renowned for white sandy beaches, warm blue seas, beautiful beachfront hotels and friendly West Indian service. Barbados is the most easterly of the West Indies and has coasts on the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. The capital is Bridgetown and this is where the international airport delivers tourists from around the world. Holidays to Barbados are available from a number of UK airports including Gatwick, Manchester and Glasgow with direct flights taking approximately 9 hours. The west coast of Barbados is a palm tree fringed paradise with beautiful white sandy beaches reaching out to the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea and an excellent area to enjoy a luxurious beach holiday. It is sometimes referred to as the 'Platinum Coast' and is where the majority of Barbados holidays are taken. The warm Caribbean waters are perfect for water sports so if you enjoy scuba diving, swimming and jet skis this area will be perfect for you. If you are visiting West Coast Barbados take time away from the beach to enjoy the beautiful inland areas and the rugged beauty to the East where the Atlantic Ocean relentlessly pounds the coastline. If you are looking for nightlife then the South and South West, particularly Bridgetown, offer the liveliest bars and restaurants and guarantee a fun packed holiday experience.
