Barbados couples & adult-only holidays

Best activities in Barbados for couples

Not only is Barbados home to some of the best beaches in the world, but there is an abundance of activities and culture to soak up here. Whisk your loved one away to the insta-worthy, laid-back island of Barbados. Take a dip in the ocean at Carlisle Bay, one of the best spots for snorkelling situated just minutes from Bridgetown.

For foodie couples, explore the scrumptious fresh cuisine that Barbados has to offer across the island and be sure to check out the well-known Oistins Fish Fry, held every Friday. From European dishes to Pan-Asian, see for yourself the reason Barbados is affectionately known as the ‘Culinary Capital of the Caribbean’.

What could be more romantic than a sunset catamaran cruise? Get picked up from your hotel and swim with the tropical fish and turtles in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. The cruise will then set sail to give you the most stunning sunset views before you dine on a delicious dinner and try some Bajan beverages.
