A little collection of places I discovered and enjoyed during my time in Barbados. From beautiful gardens and early morning beach moments to lovely dinners, little shops and everything in between.

Little Barbados moments
Where we stayed
Our little home away from home while in Barbados. Adding this one for anyone looking at Airbnb options for their next island getaway. I'll share the booking link here too!
Our home away from home during our Barbados getaway! Located on the beautiful west coast, Summerville 104 was our little base for exploring the island. Having a pool was a lovely bonus, especially for those moments when we just wanted to relax instea...

Where we ate
One of our food stops while in Barbados. A casual little spot to keep in mind when you're out and about and looking for somewhere to grab a bite.
Cafe 195 Bistro Bar
Dinner by the water and a swim in the sea. I love being able to enjoy both in one place! Definitely one to add if you're exploring the quieter northern end of the west coast.
The Fish Pot
You can't visit Barbados without experiencing Oistins! Freshly grilled fish, a lively atmosphere and plenty of local flavour. We went for dinner, and it's one of those experiences I'd happily recommend adding to your itinerary.
Oistins Fish Fry
One for a lovely dinner out in Barbados. The Tides is a beautiful seaside restaurant in Holetown and a nice option when you want to dress up a little and make an evening of it.
Tides
A little pizza stop while wandering around Limegrove. If you're in Holetown and craving Italian food, this is one to keep in mind. Perfect for working a bite to eat into an afternoon of browsing the shops.
Pepenero
Places worth exploring
If you love plants, flowers and wandering through beautiful gardens, add this to your list. So much greenery, winding pathways and lovely little corners to explore. Definitely somewhere to take your time rather than rush through.
Hunte's Gardens
I'd recommend planning your visit around feeding time. It's a lovely opportunity to see the animals gathering, especially the green monkeys. A fun little outing if you enjoy wildlife and nature.
Barbados Wildlife Reserve
I can never resist popping into a lovely home décor shop when I travel. Gajah was one of our stops, and definitely worth adding if you enjoy browsing & purchasing beautiful things for the home as much as I do.

Little Barbados moments
One of those experiences worth waking up early for. Watching the racehorses being taken into the sea for their morning swim is such a lovely sight. Head down early, enjoy the quiet of the morning and watch from a respectful distance.
Pebbles beach, Barbados
Sometimes the best part of a day is simply getting into the sea. We enjoyed a swim by Fish Pot, and it's a lovely reminder to leave some room in your Barbados itinerary for doing absolutely nothing but enjoying the water.
