What to expect from a mystery holiday to Barbados
Laid-back Barbados is certainly a contrast to the fast-paced life of the UK, and a week-long mystery holiday to this easy-to-love island is just the right amount of time to fall in line with the local ways of doing things.
Lounging on one of the island’s many beaches isn’t so much a way of relaxing as a way of life. And it would obviously be a shame not to tie time feeling the sand beneath your feet with a rum punch or its non-alcoholic equivalent.
If you’re feeling active, sports range from golf to surfing, though the sparkling waters off the Barbadian coast is sure to leave you yearning for catamaran cruises, snorkelling or even scuba experiences in search of turtles and other reef-living species. Renting an electric mini moke vehicle is also a popular thing to do, and provides a great excuse for heading further afield, be that to Animal Flower Cave or Gun Hill Signal Station.
Good to know before you go to Barbados
Most big businesses on Barbados accept credit and debit card payments, but you’ll want some cash for smaller purchases and souvenirs from local artisans. The local currency is the Barbadian dollar, but US dollars are also widely accepted at a rate of 2US$:1Bds$.
Travellers need to complete a simple online immigration and customs form a maximum of 72 hours before arrival, which asks basic questions like your flight details and where you will be staying.
To avoid causing local upset, don’t be tempted to wear swimwear and other beach clothing away from the sands. It’s polite to strip off only when you’ve arrived on the coast and to slip your clothes back on before you leave it.
