There’s no better way to show your other half just how much they mean to you than to whisk them away on a romantic Barbados holiday. With paradise beaches, aquamarine seas and a sky full of sunshine, it is sure to offer you both the warmest of welcomes. So, whether you’re a new couple, just-married or life-long partners, here’s why Barbados is a couple’s paradise and has everything you need to make your special getaway truly unforgettable.
Intimate Dinners
Wining and dining are essential ingredients of a romantic evening. It gives you the chance to dress up, go somewhere special and enjoy intimate conversations over an exquisite dinner and a fine bottle. Thankfully, the exclusive west coast of Barbados offers an array of exceptional ‘somewhere specials.’ Home to the island’s finest restaurants, you can treat your partner to award-winning dishes and first-class service. All while sitting at an elegantly presented table overlooking the moonlit Caribbean.
Of note are the beach-fronted Royal Westmoreland Beach Club, the internationally renowned The Cliff. Aptly named for where it is perched, and the stunning Fusion Rooftop in upmarket Holetown. It offers dinner under the stars and the warmth of a magnificent firepit. A perfect example of why Barbados is a couple’s paradise.
Let’s Dance
After an intimate dinner, you can cosy up even closer, getting cheek to cheek on the dancefloor. Luckily, there’s something to suit everyone’s style in Barbados. Whether you’re into disco, reggae, rock or jazz, there’s an eclectic mix of music and venues to suit your mood.
Check out Holetown’s Red Door Lounge, one of the island’s top nightspots, for live music, international DJs and knockout cocktails. Or if you’re looking for something a little more chic and sophisticated, try out the nearby Lime Bar. For all-night partying, Carlisle Bay’s The Boatyard offers beachside fun, including lively DJs and exciting live bands.
Sultry Sunsets
While Barbados offers magnificent sunshine, it is the Caribbean sunsets that will stay with you forever. As the sun goes down, the sky fills with a fantastic palette of reds, purples and golds. These beautifully reflect in the rippling ocean. It is a breath-taking experience to share with a loved one.
The best way to enjoy the sunset is while sipping a rum cocktail on the beachfront terrace of Royal Westmoreland Beach Club, overlooking the stunning Mullins Beach, or taking a romantic evening stroll, hand in hand, along the quiet beach at Carlisle Bay.
Sensual Spas
There’s no more relaxing way to enjoy your time together than by booking a couple’s pampering session at one of the island’s premier spas. Offering unique signature treatments in soulful and sensuous surroundings, you’ll experience the true meaning of Barbadian bliss.
Some of the most select Barbadian spas are found in and around Holetown, in St James Parish. For sheer delight, however, visit the Singita Wellness Centre at Mullins Beach. If you’re staying at Royal Westmoreland, you get exclusive packages at Singita.
Shaking Up a Cheeky Cocktail
If you need to let your hair down a little, one of the most fun things you can do together is to go on a rum tasting experience. Barbados is the home of the world’s best rum. Mount Gay Visitors Centre in Bridgetown is home to the world’s oldest distillery. Rum tasting here is like nowhere else as you’ll be learning to make and sample your own cocktails. You’ll also get a traditional Bajan lunch included.
Just You, Me and the Clear Blue Sea
The natural beauty of Barbados extends way beyond its beaches. The views of its coastline are spectacular from the sea and just as amazing, if not more so, is what lies underneath it: beautiful coral reefs and stunning shipwrecks bristling with a kaleidoscope of tropical sea life.
The ultimate way for a romantic couple to experience this is to take a private cruise on an incredible catamaran. They are available for charter from along the west coast. Here, your crew will take you on a voyage of discovery. See the island from afar, snorkel over the reefs and shipwrecks, and enjoy a chef-served champagne picnic in a hidden cove before finishing the day watching the glorious sunset. Perfection!
A Perfect, Romantic Hideaway
For a truly romantic holiday, there is no better place to stay than Royal Westmoreland. This prestigious private estate of luxury villas and apartments is perched over the west coast, providing panoramic views of the coastline. With only 250 properties dotted over its 750 acres, privacy is assured. The complementary housekeeper and concierge will ensure to take care of all your needs. Onsite, you’ll find first-class hospitality and world-class amenities. These include a championship standard golf course, state of the art gym and tennis courts. There is also a range of exceptional eateries. These include the Club House, Halfway House, a traditional Rum Shak and the nearby Royal Westmoreland Beach Club, for which a free shuttle service is provided. If you’d rather have a romantic night in, however, you’ll also have access to a private chef.
