All Inclusive holidays to Barbados

Visit Barbados for a stress-free All Inclusive holiday

With average flights from the UK taking around nine hours and year-round sunshine, Barbados offers a true tropical escape from the humdrum of everyday life.

Known as the ‘Platinum Coast’, St James is a popular All Inclusive holiday hotspot, with its swanky nightlife and dining scene, tranquil beaches and sparkling coastline. In contrast, the bustling capital Bridgetown will give you a taste of Caribbean city life, with British Colonial architecture, a host of museums and an abundance of duty-free shops, making it ideal for those who want to explore and enjoy All Inclusive luxury. For the perfect mix of picturesque scenery and a vibrant nightlife, Dover Beach offers sun-soaked shorelines and is close to the lively hub of restaurants and bars at St Lawrence Gap.

Nearby beaches

With some of the most postcard-worthy beaches in the world, you might not know where to start when it comes to choosing a shore to lounge on in Barbados. Here are a few options to get you started.

Paynes Bay Beach in St James is thought to be one the best beaches on the west coast, with its golden sands and excellent swimming conditions where you might spot a turtle or two. The bustling Brownes Beach in Bridgetown is also great for swimming and snorkelling, with a variety of shipwrecks and sea life to explore. Meanwhile, palm-fringed Dover Beach on the south coast is home to a range of All Inclusive resorts, where days are best spent sinking your toes into the sand and surfing the waves.
