The country of Barbados is commonly known for being the ultimate island getaway, and it’s not hard to see why. With its breathtaking landscape and vibrant nightlife, it’s no surprise that this slice of paradise is the Caribbean’s leading tourist destination. Around one million people visit the island country every year, most of them coming from the UK, US, and Canada. Originally inhabited by the Kalinago as well as other South American ethnic groups, Barbados was colonized by the Spanish, Portuguese, and British. It was only in 1966 when it became an independent state and part of the British Commonwealth.
Aside from pristine beaches, Barbados is also filled with gardens, caves, and gullies. Teeming with wildlife, the island is home to the green monkey as well as four species of nesting turtles. As of 2016, Barbados has around 284,996 residents - most of which are Afro-Caribbean.
As one of the most romantic destinations in the world, Barbados is usually one of the top picks for honeymooning couples. Of course, what better way to enjoy this heavenly island than in the company of a loved one? For couples who want to enjoy each other’s presence in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, here are some hotels to check out.
