Barbados is still very British. In fact, the island is commonly referred to as "Little England." Afternoon teatime is observed, cricket is the national passion, and polo is played all winter. Many villages, streets, monuments and parks are named after locations in the U.K., as well. And Bajans (BAY-juns), as they call themselves, often possess a bit of the English reserve.

Because of its popularity, Barbados is hardly an undiscovered or unspoiled paradise. Although it lacks rain forests, mountainous terrain and world-class reef systems, the island's natural beauty and scenic variety are magnificent.

You'll find dramatic natural caves, rocky cliffs with blowholes by the sea, miles of sugarcane fields and some remote scenic beaches. Those seeking a week of relaxation on beautiful beaches, perhaps with a little nightlife and history mixed in, will likely be pleased with what Barbados has to offer.
