Where is Barbados?

That's a question we get asked quite a lot. Luckily since this is our home we are perfectly placed to give you the answer....

So where is Barbados?
Well first off Barbados is an island nation located in the Caribbean. We're actually the easternmost island in the Caribbean and are in fact completely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and not touched by the Caribbean Sea at all!

With direct flights from Europe, North America and South America it's very easy to reach us.
