Barbados

Located in the eastern Caribbean, Barbados stands out for its mix of stunning white-sand beaches, turquoise blue waters, and welcoming locals.

The island has a total land area of 169.5 square miles and is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, not the Caribbean Sea.

Known as the birthplace of rum, it offers a rich history, lively festivals (like Crop Over), and world-class water sports.

Its unique combination of British heritage and Caribbean magic makes it a must-visit destination.
