History and paradise mingle in the island getaway of Barbados. Bridgetown and its Garrison is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 2011, and is one of the oldest cities in the Caribbean. With rich, colorful architecture, mixing beautiful colonial buildings and modern business offices, the city offers an exploration into the past and present with the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, the house where George Washington stayed, and trendy shopping opportunities with local merchandise to indulge.

While discovering the island’s powdery beaches, contrasting brilliantly with the royal blue waves, try your hand at windsurfing, kitesurfing, or boogie boarding in the south. On the east coast, the wide beaches and mighty waves make it the perfect setting for surfing, and on the west, the gentle waves and characteristic palm trees make the ideal paradise. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the island boasts an average high in the mid-80’s, and outside of the hurricane belt, Barbados is in perfect position for lovely beach weather year-round with little rain.
