Where to stay in Barbados?

Caribbean island of Barbados is one of the best places for scenery and
romance, especially when planning a honeymoon, wedding or romantic break.

place to stay is an adults-only resort on the beach. Among the stunning

Best beaches for romantic
couples in Barbados
Barbados
is surrounded by a beautiful coastline, comprised of white-sand beaches,
turquoise waters and backed by swaying palm trees. However, it also
features hidden
coves and remote beaches where a couple can have some alone time, as
follows:
- Crane Beach
Backed
by towering cliffs, Crane Beach is truly spectacular, with an elegant hotel
perched on the top. Admittedly, the waves can get large here, but the
offshore reef does give some protection and it can be a great place for
relaxing. Meanwhile, this is one of the better sports for surfing and
boogie boarding for more active couples.
There
are two options for accessing the beach, either through the Crane Resort
and heading down 98 steps, or accessing it from down the road and across a
rocky path. What makes this the perfect choice for a romantic couple is
that the beach is relatively quiet and the hotel offers a delicious lunch.
- Bottom Bay Beach
Bottom
Bay Beach lies close to Crane Beach and is also accessed from a flight of
stairs, cut into the rocky cliff. Meanwhile, the setting is truly
spectacular, with its clean, white sand and a backing of towering palm
trees and rocky cliffs. Most of the time, romantic couples will have this
lovely stretch of sand all to themselves. After a day in the sun, explore
the large cave, cut into the cliffs.
