- Tours & Excursions
Whether you’re here to sip rum by the sea, dance to the beat of calypso, or just unwind under swaying palms, Barbados delivers the perfect blend of fun and relaxation…so you won’t go home needing a vacation from your vacation.
1. The Famous ‘GOld’ Coast
Ever heard of Barbados’ Gold Coast?
Also known as the famed west coast, this side of the island surly lives up its distinguished title. From golden sunset happy hours at The Club Barbados to the resort’s golden white-sand beach terrace, this stunning stretch of coastline is truly iconic.
And there’s more than one way to enjoy it!
Imagine sailing across crystal clear Caribbean waters, kayaking over natural reefs, and even snorkeling to an off-shore shipwreck dating back to 1942 — it’s all included at The Club Barbados!
2. True Bajan Culture
But Barbados isn’t known solely for its stunning coastline. Here, you can experience true Bajan culture both on and off resort property.
Just a short distance from The Club Barbados, the downtown shopping district of Bridgetown is home to luxury boutiques, local artisans, and a lively mix of restaurants, bars, and nighttime entertainment.
The Harbour Lights Beach Extravaganza is a must do! With local transportation to and from the resort, this popular tourist attraction stays true to its Bajan roots, while offering the convenience and reliability of organized tours.
Prefer to stay close to home? Let the island rhythm come to you with evening performances from local dancers, singers, and musicians — right at the resort’s main hub. BONUS! There’s even a late-night piano Bar on site!
3. The rum Capital of the Caribbean
You can’t go to Barbados without ordering a rum flight.
As “the rum capital of the Caribbean,” and home to the legendary Mount Gay Rum, the island offers plenty of ways to sip and savor your favorite Caribbean staple.
Starting with the all-inclusive option, The Club Barbados Rum Shack is a great spot for local rum tastings or a classic cocktail — and maybe even a little friendly competition. Challenge your friends to a game of billiards, chess, or the traditional Bajan game of Warri.
Or, venture out to nearby shops—like this quirky spot a local built out of an old boat—for an authentic island rum experience you won’t forget.
4. Authentic Island Cuisine
Equally noteworthy is the local cuisine, which (again) can be enjoyed with or without leaving the resort.
Traditional Bajan cooking is reason enough to visit Barbados, and The Club Barbados does not disappoint. Included in your stay, Enid’s Restaurant brings the island’s rich flavors right to your plate — from the island’s national dish of Cou-cou and Flying Fish to herb-roasted chicken and macaroni pie.
If you like fresh-caught seafood, Oistins Fish Fry is an absolute must! Think: downtown street fair, with local chefs grilling up the day’s freshest catch.
Pair it with lively music, local dancers, and the festive energy of the crowd, and you’ve got an evening that’s as much about having a good time as it is about the food.
5. Tours & Excursions
Barbados has no shortage of hidden gems to explore – many of which can be booked direct from the resort’s on-site tours desk (like Oistins Fish Fry and the Harbour Lights Beach Extravaganza.)
Looking for adventure? Dive 150 feet below sea level and observe spectacular coral reefs, sponges, marine plants and exotic tropical fish from the crystal-clear viewing windows of the Atlantis Submarine tour.
Or, if you prefer to stay on land, hop on a rugged 4×4 tour and discover the island’s secret beaches, breathtaking vistas, and hidden corners that most visitors never see.
