Why buy property in Barbados?

This tiny nation in the Lesser Antilles is a jewel in the Caribbean. The soft-sand beaches and turquoise water create postcard-perfect scenes but the friendly Barbadians are what truly set this island apart.

Pristine Beaches

Beautiful sandy beaches and long stretches of crystal-clear turquoise waters make this one of the most inviting areas to dip your toes in the sea or set up a beach chair.

Barbados Wildlife

The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is a great place to see and enjoy some of Barbados’ most notable creatures, including the island’s famous green monkeys.

Restaurants

Locals and tourists come to enjoy the food, rum and atmosphere. From picnic tables at a local rum shop to upscale international dining with an ocean view to die for, Barbados has it all.

Golf Resorts

Barbados offers some of the best golf in the Caribbean with several championship courses. Tiger Woods got married at Sandy Lane while Royal Westmoreland is considered to be one of the best par 3 courses in the world.

The People

Bajans are known for their genuine warmth, politeness, and their love of partying. They openly welcome visitors to the island and quickly make them feel right at home.

Barbados is considered the birthplace of rum, and Mount Gay distillery, founded in 1703, is believed to produce the world’s oldest rum. Drink it neat, over ice or served in a cocktail.
