One of the best ways to get around the island is by the 'reggae' bus.
 

Travelling around Barbados is easy and villa and apartment rental is the best way to stay

Getting to Barbados is easy with direct international flights from London and Manchester in the UK and regular services from the USA and Canada. The quality of the luxury villas and apartments available to rent in Barbados is such that you won't want to leave your home-from-home but once on island, why not hire a car or hop on a yellow reggae bus to get the most from your visit.

Retail therapy under the sun

by Lisa Hammerton

Mention the words “retail therapy” or “designer brands” or combine these words into a sentence whilst on holiday in Barbados and my husband, Mark will run for the hills, a beach or possibly a rum shack. But I see things a little differently and when the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre appeared, it seemed almost overnight, in Holetown I had to go and investigate – many times.

Mark and Lisa Hammerton

We are Mark and Lisa Hammerton and we are lucky enough to spend our time organising villa and apartment holidays to the wonderful Caribbean island of Barbados.

We have been involved with the travel industry for most of our working lives but fell in love with Barbados after many visits and ended up buying a second home there.

We would love to talk to you about the island and our selection of wonderful properties and, as our priority is matching the right property to your requirements, we will always be open and honest in what we have to say.
