Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados, set on the sheltered west coast within the parish of Saint Michael. It suits UK couples and families who want warm Caribbean sun, calm beaches and the colour and convenience of city life close by.

It is an easy base that mixes relaxed beach days on Carlisle Bay with shops, history and a friendly waterfront, all within a short stroll or drive.

Where to stay in Bridgetown

The Radisson Aquatica Resort Barbados is a four star beachfront resort located on Carlisle Bay, putting you right on a calm, sheltered stretch of coast near the capital.

Getting there and when to go

Barbados has direct flights from the UK, with a short transfer to the city and coast. The island is warm and sunny all year, so Bridgetown works well as a winter sun escape, with the drier season especially popular for reliable sunshine.

Beaches and resorts

Carlisle Bay offers soft sand and calm, clear water that is excellent for swimming and snorkelling. The setting is sheltered and family friendly, with the convenience of the city right alongside the beach.

Food and things to do

The capital is a great place to eat, with fresh fish and lively Barbadian flavours, plus plenty of waterfront cafes. Days can include swimming, snorkelling, boat trips and exploring the historic streets and shops of the city.

Who it suits

Bridgetown suits couples and families who want calm Caribbean beaches with the buzz, dining and history of a capital on the doorstep.
