Activities: Guests can enjoy snorkelling, diving, and watersports right from the beach. For a taste of local culture, explore the nearby markets of Speightstown or take a scenic drive to visit historic sites like St. Nicholas Abbey.
Sustainability: The hotel emphasises eco-friendly practices, such as sourcing restaurant ingredients locally and supporting the surrounding community. Its focus on sustainability and authentic local experiences makes it a responsible choice for mindful travellers.

February
February continues the pleasant dry season, making it one of the best times to visit. With low humidity and plenty of sunshine, it's great for outdoor activities like hiking or exploring the island. Don’t miss the Holetown Festival, a lively celebration of Barbadian culture.
March
The dry season remains in full swing in March, providing consistently warm and sunny weather. With fewer crowds than in peak winter months, it's an excellent time for a relaxing beach holiday. The Oistins Fish Festival, which happens in late March, is a must-visit for fresh seafood and vibrant local music.
April
April marks the end of the dry season, with temperatures hovering around 29°C. It's quieter than the earlier months but still ideal for beachgoers and adventurers alike. Easter celebrations add a cultural flair to the island, making it a great time to experience local traditions.
May
May is a shoulder season, offering fewer crowds and lower prices. The weather is still warm and pleasant, though brief rain showers begin to appear. It's a great time to explore the island's lush interior or relax on less crowded beaches. Surfing conditions also improve with bigger swells.
June
June marks the start of the wet season, but don't let that deter you. Rainfall is usually brief, and temperatures remain in the low 30°C. Hotels often offer discounts, and the island is quieter, making it an appealing time for those seeking a more peaceful vacation.
July
July sees more frequent rain showers, but they are typically short-lived. The island’s natural beauty is in full bloom, and the slightly cooler evenings provide comfortable conditions for sightseeing. This month also features the Crop Over Festival, a vibrant cultural celebration leading up to the main events in August.
August
August is one of the wettest months, but it’s also one of the most exciting, as Barbados hosts the grand finale of the Crop Over Festival. Expect colourful parades, live music, and island-wide festivities. If you're willing to navigate occasional rain showers, this is an incredible cultural experience.
September
September is typically the quietest and wettest month in Barbados, falling within the peak of the hurricane season. While the risk of hurricanes is relatively low, expect more rain and humidity.
October
Rain continues in October, but the showers are often followed by sunshine. The hurricane risk lessens toward the end of the month, and visitor numbers remain low. This is a good time to enjoy the island's natural beauty without the crowds, especially if you're interested in exploring lush gardens or wildlife reserves.
November
November marks the end of the hurricane season and the start of more favourable weather. Temperatures remain warm, and the island begins to come back to life with more visitors. It's a great time to explore the countryside, take in the local markets, or relax on quieter beaches before the peak season hits.
