Barbados Summer in Barbados means that magic blend of elegance, grace, luxury and charm, but with a slightly different pace than the height of the peak winter season. Barbados’ travel offering has never been buzzier, from the new Nikki Beach at Port Ferdinand (itself one of the newest luxe additions to Barbados) to the hot new Sandals Royal Barbados. This is still as diverse a destination as there is in the Caribbean, whether you’re catching waves on the East Coast or indulging in the ultra luxe at Sandy Lane and Royal Westmoreland. For a more boutique experience, you can try Cobblers Cove or the Atlantis Hotel. Even better? The new Brilliant Barbados program is making it even easier to plan your trip, however you want to experience Barbados.
