If a tropical island featuring lush greenery and white-sand beaches strikes you as an ideal honeymoon destination, welcome to Barbados. Honeymoons here are more than enjoying the seaside, since this culturally rich island is also a culinary capital of the Caribbean. Boasting colonial architecture, nightlife venues, and colorful sunsets, Barbados is an ideal destination for explorers, partygoers, and romantics.
Newlyweds wishing to spend their Barbados honeymoon shopping and listening to reggae and calypso should head to West Barbados. Couples fond of an intimate atmosphere should head to the southern coast, while passionate surfers should stay on the east Barbados coast.
1. Bridgetown
The capital of Barbados is the island's party, shopping, and sightseeing hotspot. Featuring an ideal location in the southwest of Barbados, it offers quick and easy access to the rest of the island. The diverse colonial architecture provides a charming backdrop for one-of-a-kind honeymoon photos while the city abounds with duty-free shops.
2. Holetown
This quaint town on the west coast of Barbados accesses the peaceful sea and boasts a vibrant nightlife during Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This part of the Gold Coast features particularly romantic sunsets and is a perfect destination for leisure honeymooners. Calm waters lend themselves to swimming, kayaking, and other relaxing activities, while brightly-colored shops in the Chattel Village sell souvenirs, garments, and other locally crafted items.
3. Oistins
For convenient access to some top island beaches and fairly good shopping, Oistins in the south of Barbados will suit. If you and your partner enjoy partying from time to time, then Oistins is the best choice for you. The Friday night Fish Market, featuring food, drinks, and music, is a hallmark of the town, thanks to its lively atmosphere and culinary delights. In contrast, nearby Miami Beach offers romantic couples a unique opportunity to wade through the water with barely anyone within sight during the week.
4. East Coast
Couples wishing to spend their Barbados honeymoon far from other travelers should stay in Bathsheba or any other place on east coast of Barbados. From here, you can explore small, windswept beaches, little villages, and rugged coastline. This area is exceptional for hiking, collecting seashells, and having an idyllic honeymoon in seclusion with your spouse.
