Barbados luxury holidays 2023 & 2024

Barbados offers a cross-section of Caribbean island life, from swish restaurants and exclusive resorts to wild, windswept beaches and local fish fries. One of the Caribbean’s most enduring and well-established destinations, it’s a place our specialists travel to regularly. Using this up-to-date first-hand knowledge, they’ll advise you on how to get the best from your Barbados holiday, whether you’d like to find the best waters for swimming alongside turtles or take a walking tour of the capital, Bridgetown .

Along the island’s west coast, you’ll find long curves of sand interspersed with palm-shaded bars and luxurious resorts. The east coast runs at a slower pace, with wild Atlantic rollers frothing onto a rugged, undeveloped shoreline. Inland are rum distilleries, plantation houses and botanical gardens that flicker with butterflies and hummingbirds. And, with good connections across the Caribbean , Barbados is an ideal starting point for a wider island-hopping holiday that could include a private-island stay in the Grenadines or time exploring Antigua’s British heritage.

South Africa with teenagers

Robyn came up with a great itinerary for our Cape Town, garden route and safari brief. Being from South Africa and studying in Cape Town meant that she had lots of great ideas, especially for doing things that would keep the interest of our 16 and 14 year old. She had done most of the trip as a teenager herself so the advice was all spot on. Can highly recommend Audley and Robyn, it made the planning and travel super easy for us so we could just enjoy it!

Family Adventure in Vietnam

When we knew we had the opportunity to catch up with our daughter on her travels round the Far East, Audley helped us create the most amazing two week adventure in Vietnam. Dom helped us explore options and created an itinerary that met exactly what we were hoping for. Vietnam was the most amazing destination, and Audley ensured we were looked after at every stage.

Wonderful 10* service and support

The best travel service in the world! Not only did they plan our trip with great attention to detail, providing a lot of extra valuable travel advice and tips, they really showed their expertise when things went wrong. When my husband was rushed into hospital while away, their wonderful team were there supporting and advising me every step of the way. They continued to keep in touch and help me on our repatriation to the UK in a way that shows a level of customer care beyond anything we have ever experienced before. Words cannot adequately express our gratitude. We would never use any other travel agency in the future. They are simply brilliant!

Reply from Audley Travel

Hi Clare, Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are so sorry to hear about your husband and hope he is making a speedy recovery. It is so wonderful to hear how well looked after you felt pre, during and post-trip. We will pass your kind words on to John and the rest of the team. We hope to plan more adventures with you soon! Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

Paris&London, Mother&Son and a Trip Never Forgotten

Many 5-star reviews over promise and under-deliver. Mine, hopefully will not. From end-to-end our entire experience was positive. Our planner, Lily, was knowledgeable, understanding and creative. She tailored this trip to meet the needs of my mother with walking/stair climbing limitations. This was a life-long dream for my Mom to step foot on the European continent and visit Paris/London. We were worried she would not be able to due to her heart/health issues. However with proper planning, preparation and budgeting for taxis, Uber's and Audley's private drivers the trip was a resounding success. The hotel accommodations met and exceeded expectations, the tour guides were phenomenal (and future pen-pals), and the time saved dealing with 30+ reservations, itineraries, etc. was worth the money spent on our program; remember you're paying for peace of mind and that is what Audley delivered. So, take a chance. Save up the money and plan that dream vacation, photos and souvenirs cannot replace the memories we created in this trip. You never know how much time you have to take a vacation like this, and while pricey, the value will return back to you and then some. It already has for me. Well Done!

Southafrica !

Southafrica ! We booked a 3 week trip to Cape Town, garden route, winelands and safari, all tailor made to our needs as a family. The service with Audley travel was immaculate from start to finish and we had an amazing experience. We would book at any time again with Audley, as they have not only great experts in the team ( Andy who is the travel expert for Southafrica), but also outstanding service throughout!

Date of experience : March 09, 2024

Hi Kerstin, Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind review. We are so pleased to hear about your wonderful adventure in South Africa. It is so great to hear how happy you were with the service and the tailor made trip was perfectly customised to fit the needs of you and your family! We will pass these kind words onto Andy and the team. We look forward to planning many more trips with you in the future! Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

Our trip to Thailand "the land of smiles" was fabulous

Our Thailand trip was fabulous. With expert guidance from Saskia at Audley we visited golden temples, ancient ruins, vibrant markets (even one on a railway line!) and a variety of stunning landscapes. The smell and taste of Thai street food and fruit beyond imagination. The music of the rainforest- gibbons, birds and cicadas calling. The serenity of the hill tribe people. The poignant Burma Railway sites and the most beautiful cemetery. Fantastic tea tasting. Getting up close and personal with gorgeous elephants. Staying in a lovely selection of boutique hotels. I unhesitatingly recommend visiting "the land of smiles" Thailand with Audley to tailor the trip to your individual needs.

Date of experience : April 14, 2024

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. Your trip to Thailand sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and we are so pleased we could assist you in experiencing all these amazing adventures! It is wonderful to hear how customised the itinerary was to you, making the trip that extra bit more special. We will pass your kind words onto Saskia and the team, and look forward to planning many more wonderful trips with you in the future! Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

I can't fault Audley…

This is the 2nd time we have used Audley Travel as we were so impressed with how they planned our first holiday with them. Charlotte was our specialist for our latest Borneo trip and planned the most fantastic trip for us. Everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. I have other friends that have used Audley Travel and they also have had excellent experiences with them.

Hi Sally, Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review! It is so great to hear what an incredible trip you had to Borneo. We are so pleased that everything ran smoothly and you are so impressed with the service you received from Audley start to finish. We will pass your kind words onto Charlotte and the team. We look forward to planning many more adventures together soon! Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

Lucy Celon - Portugal & Spain - 04/06/2024 - 04/16/2024

The fact that Lucy Celon was our trip planner for Portugal and Spain was nothing short of EXEMPLARY!! Lucy took a personal interest in our trip and from "day one" she displayed that interest!! ANYTHING we wanted to know with respect to the trip, Lucy was always available to provide us with detailed explanations!! Lucy is the personification of a representative of Audley Travel Service and we were so lucky to have her as our advisor, we are grateful as well as appreciative for her assistance all the way through!!

Date of experience : April 05, 2024

We have already shared this outstanding feedback with Lucy, as well as with her management team. We look forward to helping you plan your next great adventure! Kind regards, Audley Travel USA

Very poor customer service

Booked to go to Japan many months ahead and very excited. Unfortunately our specialist rep left and her replacement was not very efficient. She promised things, calls that never materialised. I booked with them because I suffer from anxiety and wanted all the stress taken away. Her inefficiency left me stressed before we left. We missed our flight connection due to late departure and we were abandoned. No help during a weekend. Lost paid for trips and tickets as no rep. would rearrange to meet us. Now trying to claim compensation and constant stalling. Yet again booked phone calls not received. Japan is wonderful by the way but not the experience I was expecting from Audley.

Date of experience : March 21, 2024

Dear Julie, We were deeply saddened to learn about the challenges you faced during your trip to Japan. Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we are committed to addressing your concerns and providing the necessary support. To assist us in better understanding your situation, could you please send us an email with your contact and trip details to [email protected] We are dedicated to resolving this matter promptly and ensuring that you feel supported every step of the way. Your experience does not align with the high standards we strive to maintain at Audley Travel, and we genuinely regret any disappointment you may have experienced. We eagerly anticipate receiving your email and working towards a positive resolution. Kind Regards, Audley Travel

Fabulous trip to Mexico

I had a wonderful itinerary put together for me by Phoebe, the Mexico specialist, only 3 weeks before flying off. Phoebe and Audely were increcibly can-do, pro-active and up-front about what they could achieve last-minute and given I was going away peak season. The trip ended up being more epxensive than I had anticipated, but the trips, hotels and service that I got made it all worthwhile. And when I got ill during the holiday I was in constant contact with their local operating partner who were incredibly resposive and helpful I thoroughly recommend!

Date of experience : March 31, 2024

Dear Paul, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are so pleased to hear how well organised your holiday was, and how personal you felt the itinerary was, especially considering it was last minute. We are sorry to hear you fell ill during the holiday and hope you are better now, but it is wonderful that the ground team was responsive and took great care of you. We will pass these kind words onto Phoebe and the ground team. We hope to plan many more adventures together soon! Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

New Zealand Trip of a Lifetime…

The New Zealand trip had been on our agenda pre Covid and we used Audley to help plan our self drive itinerary. Our agent, Amy, listened and understood what we were looking for and offered knowledgeable advice based on her personal experience. She came up with a planned route which pretty much perfectly matched our brief. The support information pre-visit and during the trip was excellent, taking away any anxiety about where we were headed next. Fabulous service and fabulous holiday.

Date of experience : February 25, 2024

Dear Satisfied Customer, We are so pleased to hear about your recent trip to New Zealand. It must have been so lovely to finally tick it off the pre-Covid bucket list! We are so pleased that you felt so listened to by Amy and you felt the itinerary was perfectly customised to what you wanted! We will be sure to pass these kind words about the support provided to Amy and the team! We look forward to planning many more special trips with you in the future! Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

Trip of a lifetime

Audley helped us to organise the trip of a lifetime - 3 months visiting Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, New Zealand and the South West USA. All 3 country specialists we dealt with, our lead consultant Amy for NZ, Anna for SE Asia and Shannon for the USA were so helpful in making suggestions of places to visit we hadn’t thought of, coming up with an outline itinerary within our budget and tweaking things over the course of several lengthy calls so we ended up with the perfect trip. We had the most amazing holiday, logistically everything went incredibly smoothly and the quality of the places we stayed in and the guides who assisted us were evidence of Audley’s attention to detail. We highly recommend Audley and will certainly be using them again ourselves - we already have one or two ideas!

Date of experience : April 10, 2024

Hi Kate, Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. It sounds like you had the most amazing 3 months getting to explore half the world! We are so pleased to hear that everything ran so smoothly, and the itinerary was perfectly suited to your needs and budget. We will pass your kind words on to Amy, Anna and Shannon. We hope to plan many more exciting trips-of-a-lifetime with you! Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

Three perfect trips with Audley

This latest trip to Vietnam was the third time that we have used Audley Travel. In all three occasions we were listened to, so that they could try to put together a holiday that suited us. They were always quick to respond to any issues that cropped up during our holidays one one occasion they even phoned us in China! This company is not the cheapest but they are in our opinion the best that we have found and we will not hesitate in using them again for a great travel experience.

Fantastic tour of New Zealand

Just back from a fantastic tour of New Zealand, which was organised by Audley Travel. The trip ran very smoothly, although we stayed at a lot of different venues. All the excursions organised by the company were great and we had a brilliant time. We would thoroughly recommend using Audley for this type of trip as their agents have an extensive knowledge of the country and the different places we stayed and experiences that we did.

Audley gave a us a life changing experience!

My mother and I (a female 24 year old) had an amazing 2 week holiday with Audley Travel. Brigitte at Audley Travel helped us to create an experience that worked for our interests, our budget and our time-frame. We had a life-changing trip through Jordan and Egypt including an unforgettable jeep tour of the Wadi Rum desert, a private tour of Petra, a luxury cruise along the Nile, a guided tour of the Pyramids and so much more! Every element worked smoothly and we were treated like queens throughout. We want to thank everyone at Audley Travel for this experience - we had an unforgettable holiday and felt we were in safe hands throughout the trip.

Trip of a lifetime - 5 star service from Audley

It’s really not surprising that Audley has a 95% five star rating. We have just returned from a long awaited trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Dan, who initially organised our holiday for April 2023, went above and beyond to rearrange our trip when due to ill health, we were unable to make it that year. Not once was he phased by changing flights, hotels and at the last minute changing our daughter’s flight to come home earlier. The holiday was a dream from the professional and knowledgeable Agents used in both Vietnam and Cambodia to the private trips and experiences. We have used Audley in the past and will continue to use them again for future trips to Asia. In fact Dan is currently putting an itinerary together for November 2025!

Date of experience : March 11, 2024

Hi Tracey, Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with Audley. We are delighted to hear that Dan provided you with exceptional service and went above and beyond to ensure your trip was memorable, even amidst unexpected circumstances. It is truly heartwarming to know that the professional and knowledgeable service received by Dan contributed to making your holiday a dream come true. We look forward to creating more unforgettable experiences for you in the future. Many thanks, Audley Travel UK

Compare Palm Island Resort and Spa and Barbados by Audley Travel vs Bequia Beach Hotel & Barbados & Grenada by Audley Travel

Compare details and see what other travelers are saying.

On arrival in Barbados you will be met and taken by private transfer to The Atlantis Hotel on the quieter east coast of the island. The journey will take approximately 40 minutes.

Very different from the glamorous west coast of Barbados, lined with resorts, the east coast is much less developed and shows a very different side of this well-known island.

The dramatic coastline of the east is pounded by surf and the long stretches of golden sand are perfect for long strolls. Explore nearby Bathsheba village, just 10 minutes' walk away or visit the nearby botanical gardens.

You might like to hire a car today to explore more of the eastern side of the island, driving past sugar cane fields, small churches and sleepy villages. Perhaps head over to Bridgetown, the capital, or visit one of the island's historic sites such as the 17th century St Nicholas Abbey.

Today you will have a private transfer back to the airport for your short flight to Union Island in the Grenadines. The hotel will meet you on arrival and whisk you over to the resort in their boat in just 15 minutes leaving you the afternoon free to relax or start exploring the island, discovering some of the many coves and secluded beaches.

Palm Island resort and Spa is a beautiful spot to relax and do nothing but there's also plenty to do if you'd rather be more active. Swim out to the house reef or take out a kayak or stand up paddle board. On land you could hike or cycle round the island or join the weekly botanical walk.

The hotel can arrange a variety of excursions including snorkeling trips, fishing or visits to nearby islands. A trip to Tobago Cays is not to be missed as it offers some of the best sailing and snorkeling in the Caribbean.

Days 7 - 10

At leisure.

The hotel will transfer you back to the airport for your short flight to Barbados. Here our representative will guide you through to check in for your flight home.

Fly to Grenada. On arrival you will be met by our representative and escorted to your drive for the 20 minute private transfer to your hotel.

Today you will be collected for a full day, private tour. Start with a drive through the steep hills and lush rainforest of Grand Etang National Park, stopping at Concord Waterfall. Heading north you will visit Gouyave Nutmeg Station where the nutmegs are still processed and packed by hand. Discover the background behind Grenada's cocoa production at Carlton's Cocoa Station and finish with a stop at Gemma's Home Garden where Gemma will guide you round the beautiful garden she's created brimming with local plants and flowers.

Today you are at leisure to explore as you wish. You may like to head to historic Westerhall Rum Distillery. Alternatively, the capital, St George's is within easy reach of your hotel where you can get a glimpse of the island's colonial past at Fort George and Fort Frederick.

Today, you will have a private transfer back to the airport for the 55 minute to Barbados. Here you will be met by our representative and escorted to your driver.

The private transfer to your hotel should only take about 20 minutes leaving you time this afternoon to explore a little. Little Arches is in a quiet, residential area on the south coast. A couple of minutes walk from the hotel, Enterprise Beach is popular with the locals while a little further down the road is Oistins fishing village. If you're here on a Friday, we recommend visiting the weekly fish fry where locals and visitors come together for fresh seafood and music.

This morning you will have a private tour to St Nicholas Abbey, a 17th century plantation house, for a tour of the house and rum tasting. You will also visit Morgan Lewis Windmill, a sugar mill dating back to the 19th century, and stop at Cherry Tree Hill, one of the best viewpoints on the island.

Today you are at leisure to discover more of the island. You might like to head into Bridgetown, take a tour of the Mount Gay Rum factory or the famous Kensington Oval cricket grounds. There are also some great catamaran trips where you may be lucky enough to snorkel with turtles.

A private transfer brings you back to the airport where you board a small propeller plane for the 45 minute flight to Bequia in the Grenadines.

On arrival, you will be transferred by local taxi to the Bequia Beach Resort. Set on a beautiful, golden sand beach this charming property is a great base for exploring the sleepy island of Bequia. If you wander down to the end of the beach you may see local fishermen bringing in their daily catch.

One of the best ways of exploring the island is with a local taxi driver in one of the open backed taxi trucks and the hotel will be happy to arrange this with one of their drivers. Explore the beautiful scenery of this sleepy island, passing fishing villages, artists studios and desert beaches.

Ferries over to St Vincent take just an hour if you'd like to explore more of the islands that make up St Vincent & the Grenadines. Kingstown, the country's capital is bustling and lively with historic buildings and regular markets. Or if you'd prefer to stay on Bequia, why not explore some of its beautiful beaches, we particularly recommend Princess Margaret Beach.

Another day at leisure and you may like to take a boat trip to incredibly blue waters of the lagoon at Tobago Cays which are fantastic for snorkeling.

Days 11 - 13

Today you will have a local taxi transfer back to the airport for your flight home.
