Little England
Originally founded on a plantation economy that made its aristocracy rich on the backs of slave labourers, this Atlantic outpost was a staunchly loyal member of the British Commonwealth for generations. Barbados is the Caribbean’s easternmost island, a great coral reef floating in the mid-Atlantic and ringed with glorious beige-sand beaches. Cosmopolitan Barbados has the densest population of any island in the Caribbean, with few racial tensions. A loyal group of return visitors appreciates its stylish, medium-size hotels (many of which carry a hefty price tag).
