Iconic rock formations and raw natural beauty.
A rugged paradise on Barbados’ east coast, with dramatic cliffs, rolling waves, and tranquil hideaways.
Situated along Barbados' Atlantic East coast, Bathsheba is a stark contrast to the island’s more popular, calm western shores. Known for its raw, natural beauty and powerful waves, this picturesque fishing village offers a quieter, more authentic Caribbean experience. It’s the perfect holiday destination for those seeking a mix of relaxation, adventure, and unspoiled scenery.
The focal point of Bathsheba is the Soup Bowl, one of the most famous surfing spots in the world. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or just love watching the action from the shore, the rolling waves crashing against Bathsheba's iconic rock formations create a mesmerising scene. If surfing isn't your thing, you can still explore the rugged coastline on foot, hiking through the lush hills that overlook the ocean or strolling along the wide, wind-swept beaches.
For a more peaceful experience, soak in the natural rock pools scattered along the coast, carved out by the relentless Atlantic surf. These pools are perfect for a refreshing dip or a quiet moment surrounded by nature. The village itself offers a glimpse of Barbadian life at a slower pace, with a handful of local eateries serving fresh seafood and local delicacies.
Accommodation in Bathsheba is charmingly low-key, ranging from cosy guesthouses to boutique hotels that blend seamlessly with the landscape. While Bathsheba is less developed than other parts of Barbados, this only adds to its appeal, making it an ideal spot for those who want to disconnect and embrace the island's wilder side. Whether you’re here to surf, explore, or simply relax, Bathsheba offers a uniquely serene escape.
