Holetown (pass by)

Holetown is a charming historic town on Barbados’ calm Platinum West Coast (St. James Parish). It’s where the first English settlers landed in 1625 and established the island’s first permanent settlement in 1627 (originally called Jamestown). Named after a sheltered coastal “hole,” it’s now a relaxed upscale spot with beautiful white-sand beaches, clear turquoise waters, great snorkeling at Folkestone Marine Park, scenic boardwalks, and the island’s oldest church (St. James Parish Church). Enjoy upscale shopping and dining at Limegrove, plus the lively annual Holetown Festival in February. Perfect for beach relaxation with a touch of history.

Saint James Parish

Located in Holetown, St. James Parish Church is one of the oldest churches in Barbados, dating back to 1628. Built on the island’s first consecrated land, it’s often referred to as “God’s acre.” The current coral-stone structure reflects a mix of Gothic architecture and colonial charm, complete with beautiful stained glass windows and a historic bell cast in 1696 by the same foundry that made Big Ben. The church grounds are peaceful and scenic, offering a quiet place for reflection near the coastline. Inside, you’ll find centuries-old memorials and artifacts that speak to the island’s deep colonial history. Still an active place of worship, this landmark is a must-visit for anyone interested in Barbados’ heritage, architecture, or simply looking for a serene stop along the island’s west coast.

Speightstown

Speightstown, located on the northwest coast of Barbados, is a charming town rich in history and culture. Often called "Little Bristol" due to its historic trade ties with England, Speightstown blends colonial architecture with a laid-back coastal vibe. Stroll along the waterfront to see colorful chattel houses, old sugar warehouses, and vibrant local art galleries. Visit Arlington House Museum to dive deeper into the island’s past. The town’s beaches are peaceful, perfect for relaxing away from the crowds. You'll also find cozy cafes, fresh seafood spots, and authentic Bajan rum shops tucked throughout its narrow streets. Speightstown is not overly commercialized, offering a more authentic, old-world Barbados experience. Whether you're exploring its heritage, sampling local flavors, or simply soaking up the seaside charm, Speightstown is a must-visit gem on the island's less-traveled west coast.

Barbados Wildlife Reserve

The Barbados Wildlife Reserve, located in the northern parish of St. Peter, is a serene, forested sanctuary where visitors can walk freely among animals in their natural habitat. Set in a mahogany forest, the reserve is home to green monkeys, red-footed tortoises, iguanas, deer, parrots, peacocks, and more. The monkeys, often the stars of the show, roam freely and are most active during feeding time at 11 am and 2 p.m. Unlike traditional zoos, this reserve allows for close, unrestricted encounters, offering a more immersive and relaxed experience. Shaded pathways, stone enclosures, and informative displays make it enjoyable for all ages. It's a peaceful, educational stop that provides a unique look at the island’s animal life, including both native and introduced species. The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is perfect for nature lovers, families, and photographers seeking an up-close view of Caribbean wildlife in a lush, tropical setting.
