Barbados: the Art of Island Time

Salt air, sugar cane & starlit evenings

Holetown

Day 1: A gentle arrival
Land in Barbados and transfer to your boutique beachfront hideaway. Settle in with a cocktail at Harold’s Bar and a slow dinner by the sea. Let the soft rhythm of the island ease you into place.

Day 2: Past and present, wind and sail
Wander Bridgetown’s colonial streets on a private walking tour, uncovering centuries-old synagogues and seafaring tales. In the afternoon, sail into golden hour on a private catamaran with champagne, snorkeling, and a slow cruise home under a sky of fire.

Day 3: Flavors of the island
Dive into Barbados through its cuisine in a hands-on cooking class with a local chef. Learn the secrets of flying fish and cou-cou, then enjoy your creations with a sea breeze and warm laughter. End the day with an elegant dinner at The Cliff.

Day 4: Rum, roots, and relaxation
Visit St. Nicholas Abbey, a 17th-century plantation steeped in history. Sip house-made rum and picnic among the trees before returning for a serene spa treatment and a casual dinner at a local rum shop full of island soul.

Day 5: Beneath the earth, among the flowers
Explore the caverns of Harrison’s Cave, then stroll the dreamlike paths of Hunte’s Gardens. After a garden lunch and beachside rest, enjoy a private candlelit dinner curated just for two—your toes in the sand, stars overhead.

Day 6: Savor the pace
Spend the morning at leisure—poolside, seaside, or strolling Holetown’s boutiques. If it’s Friday, head to the lively Oistins Fish Fry for grilled mahi, live calypso, and dancing with the locals. Cap it with dinner at the oceanfront gem, Lonestar.

Day 7: A final breeze
Start your last full day with breakfast on your terrace, followed by one more swim or walk along the shore. End the night at Harold’s with a farewell rum punch, the sky glowing with memory.

Day 8: Depart, gently
Savor a final sea-swept breakfast before your private transfer. Carry the warmth of Barbados home with you—sun-drenched, salt-kissed, and soulfully restored.
