Barbados the beautiful mustard seed

As the shape of map reveals, the island nation of Barbados to the east of the Caribbean Sea is a "mustard seed" dropped in the ocean. The map also shows Barbados to be only 33 km long at its widest, with a “smile“ of a coastline 22.5 km wide, but famous as a thriving, exotic yet affordable vacation and honeymoon location.

Barbados has been described as “an English shire county with palm-fringed tropical beaches and year-round sunshine”; in truth, at times it is all that, but so much more. It is a jewel of a destination for holiday-makers and travellers just waiting to be discovered. So it is remarkable to consider that, due to its sugar production, Barbados was once considered of greater value to the British Government than all the North American colonies combined.

Today, parts of the islands West coast, in particular, are indeed the playgrounds of the rich and famous, with real estate prices rivalling even those of St Tropez. It is the island’s east coast, however, that is the more scenic, with colourful hills of sugar, banana and mango plantations and deserted beaches that stretch to the horizon. Barbados is coral island and its beaches are made from finely ground coral forming a clean fine grain.

Surveys reveal consistently that visitors highlight the friendliness of Barbadians as its greatest and most pleasing asset – and this is reflected in one of the highest holiday destination repeat visitor factors (around 39%).
