Barbados Honeymoon

A Barbados honeymoon is an ideal choice for couples who love the outdoors and want a beach destination for their getaway. To the east of this Caribbean island is a paradise for surfers, characterized by powerful and monstrous waves, while the west presents relatively calm and gentle waters suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Atmospheric villages, thriving plantations and historical sites offer a wealth of opportunities for exploring during a Barbados honeymoon, too. So, if you’re hoping to visit an exotic island during your vacation, we think you’ll love a Barbados honeymoon.

A Barbados honeymoon is full of unforgettable scenery and beaches, ideal for couples who want a vacation that combines relaxation with adventure.

When to Go

Barbados between January and April is dry and comfortable in regards to weather—and a great time to take a Barbados honeymoon. This is also the island nation’s peak season for travel. Hurricane season runs from June to November, with August and October experiencing major storms.
