Barbados is a vibrant island nation in the eastern Caribbean known for its warm culture, sparkling beaches, and welcoming people. Situated just east of the Windward Islands, Barbados has a unique blend of calm Caribbean waters and refreshing Atlantic Ocean breezes. Gentle rolling hills cover much of the island, while coral limestone formations shape its dramatic cliffs and caves. On the southwestern coast lies Bridgetown, the capital city and an UNESCO World Heritage Site rich with history and charm.
About one-third of all Barbados’s citizens live in or around Bridgetown. It’s a lively city of coloful buildings, bustling markets, and streets that open onto bright views of the Caribbean Sea. Bridgetown is known for its rich culture blending African, British, and island traditions. The island has a long musical history, too – calypso, spouge, and tuk bands are all popular. Internationally known artists like Rihanna have helped bring modern music of Barbados to the world stage.
Barbados has a similar history of many other Caribbean islands. It was home to indigenous peoples for centuries before Europeans arrived. Later, it was claimed by the British, who established sugar plantations that shaped the island’s economy. Barbados remained under British rule for over 300 years, weathering periods of conflict, trade shifts, and cultural change. The island gained self-governance in 1961 and full independence in 1966, marking the start of a proud new chapter in its national history.
Barbados as built a diverse economy to thrive in the modern world. Tourism remains its strongest industry, drawing countless visitors to the island’s warm beaches every year. Sugarcane, once the backbone of the island’s economy, still contributes through rum production and specialty exports. Barbados also manufactures goods such as electronics and clothing and has grown a reliable financial services sector that serves clients in the Caribbean and beyond.
