Barbados has a mystique about it that is difficult to describe, but easy to understand. Even the name, “Barbados,” sounds soothing and rings of island romance. Who can resist the turquoise sea, exotic flora and fauna, and the delicious meals of a Barbadian restaurant? Couples looking to book a Barbados honeymoon are in for an island treat, full of fun in the sun and the type of luxury that only the Caribbean can afford you.
Things to Do During A Barbados Honeymoon
One major highlight of booking a Barbados honeymoon is that many resorts in Barbados have teamed up with cruises. If you feel like exploring the ocean on a cruise ship, or even a speedboat, Barbados is a great place to go. Boating on the turquoise sea with your loved one is extremely romantic, especially in the moonlight.
Along with boating, other water sports, such as diving, snorkeling, and windsurfing are very popular with honeymooning couples. Going on a Barbados honeymoon makes exploring the ocean – both above and below the water – an adventure that every couple just needs to try. To make things easier for honeymooning couples, most resorts offer at least one form of water sports.
For the couple who enjoys the finer things in life, spas such as Dernier Cri Mobile Spa will come to your hotel and pamper you. The pros at these spas do all sorts of treatments, not only massages! Cupping, makeup application, wraps and aromatherapy are all available through Dernier Cri. Local spas will be a great way to unwind during the long plane ride (or boat ride) to the islands, and a great way to get your Barbados honeymoon started the right way.
Couples who are fans of simple sightseeing, learning more about the world, and examining the local life will enjoy the many sightseeing tours offered by Barbados tourist groups. Nature tours will bring wildlife close to you – bring a camera, because this will be your chance to see monkeys, exotic flowers, and colorful birds up close! Cultural tours are also available through towns in Barbados. For the couple who enjoy a dose of anthropology in their Barbados honeymoon, contacting the Afro-West Indies Touring Society will be a thrill. Imagine being able to taste local cuisine, learn the history of Barbados, and also buy some of the local arts all in the same day! Having a honeymoon in Barbados means that there will be a lot to see!
Booking a Barbados honeymoon also is a one-way ticket to delicious meals. With restaurants such as the Carib Beach Bar, Ragamuffin’s and Brown Sugar, couples looking to taste authentic Caribbean cuisine will surely be pleased. Expect to taste a lot of citrus, and a lot of spice! For couples who are more conservative with food choices, there is no need to worry. There are restaurants to suit every palate.
If you’re looking to take in some Barbados’ great nightlife, Harbor Lights, an open air nightclub and dinner show, will bring an exciting pulse to your Barbados honeymoon. Club SKYY is one of the most famous clubs in Barbados, and also one of the most popular clubs for party-loving honeymooners. Couples looking to bring a little dance into their honeymoon, complete with Bajan music, great drinks, and a lovely social scene will love going to Barbados nightclubs. Some all inclusive packages will include a night out at the local clubs – check with your tourism agent to see if you can add this into your Barbados honeymoon package.
