Barbados emerged from the sea less than one million years ago as the result of the collision of the North American and Caribbean plates. Barbados is the “most British” island in the Caribbean Region. British rule carried on uninterrupted for 340 years before independence in 1966.

Barbados is a sophisticated tropical island with a rich history and plenty to capture the attention of visitors. Seemingly endless white-sand beaches and a rich West Indian tradition are what put Barbados on the map.

The people here reflect the island’s atmosphere. They are deeply religious, open, generous, friendly and thoughtful. These people as well as the island’s history, culture, attractions and majestic landscapes repeatedly draw visitors to this island in the sun.
