Location
About the surrounding area of Bajan DreamsMount Gay Visitors' Centre in Bridgetown is a great place to see (and taste) some of the island’s history. Here, you will be taken in the world of Bajan rum and discover distillation, ageing and blending processes that have gone into perfecting the world’s oldest rum.
Visitors will be welcomed to the site in the beautiful gardens and then invited to learn about the history of rum production through a talk and short film. The best part of the tour is, of course, the tasting, and you’ll be treated to a range of rums and rum-based cocktails. At the end of the tour, there will be the option to purchase souvenir items and drinks. Mount Gay Visitors' Centre is a half an hour drive from Bajan Dreams.
Harrison's Cave is a wonderfully enchanting adventure only a 20-minute drive away from the home. Harrison’s is a huge underground cave stream system, containing beautiful caverns and crystallized formations situated in the central uplands of Barbados. There are a variety of tours you can take to explore this glorious natural beauty. A tram tour will take you along streams where you can witness stunning waterfalls up close. The Eco-Adventure tour will get you on your feet walking through the gully and admiring the surrounding mesmerising scenery. The adventure will also take you on a traverse where you can observe the caves and the nature that encircles them. Everywhere you look presents a photo opportunity so be sure to take a camera with you.

About the Island & Getting There
About Barbados
At first glance you could be mistaken for thinking that Barbados is purely a beach holiday destination, but you're urged to reconsider this common belief. The island of Barbados is peppered with astonishing landscapes (both coastal and inland), enchanting locals, sublime cuisine, intriguing rums, fascinating wildlife, symbolic architecture and a selection of striking holiday villas.
Delve deep into the history of the island and start your holiday by visiting Sunbury Plantation House & Museum. This former plantation was built in 1660's and the premises are scattered with antiquities that delicately detail a recent history of Barbados. St. Nicholas Abbey also provides an insightful representation of Sugarcane production, Bajan artefacts and a wonderful observation point at Cherry Tree Hill. If you’re keen to visit one of the oldest Parliamentary buildings within the Commonwealth and appreciate the democratic legacy of Barbados, drop by The Parliament Buildings. This neo-gothic congress can be found in Bridgetown and act as a representation of Barbados’s Independence. There is so much history present throughout the island and as a result, Bridgetown and its Garrison has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, which the locals are very proud of.
Great efforts have been made to persevere the natural beauty of Barbados, so if you’re drawn to the exploration of National Parks and multicoloured gardens, it won’t take you long to realise that Barbados is a haven for such paradises! Within the Andromeda Botanic Gardens, Farley Hill National Park, Flower Forest, Hunte's Gardens and Welchman Hall Gully - visitors, and Botanist alike, will be lost for hours admiring these astonishing botanical parklands. Keep an eye out for the Dwarf Poinciana, or Peacock Flower…it’s the national flower of Barbados.
Bajan’s take their food very seriously! If you and your fellow travellers are enticed by the gastronomic aspect of holidaying, we believe you’ve selected the right island. With every aspect of cookery mastered; from pickling to freshly prepared dishes, sweet & savoury, fragrant & spicy and of course, the bountiful choice of seafood. Check out the food stalls in Paynes Bay Church – where vendors exhibit locally made dishes & street food that will scintillate the taste buds. At the end of every working week, locals and tourists both flock to Oistins, for 'Fish Fry Day'. This is a must for those who haven’t undergone the experience! The evening starts with barbecues and then ascends into a joyful party. This caps off a busy few days of work for locals as well as the 'strains' associated with serious holidaying.
Barbados is of course iconic for its Beaches & Rum…so why not bring them together? You will have to go out of your way not to be able to find a beach bar along the west coast of the island, as well as the countless Rum Shops. Yes, you’ve read correctly, Rum Shops! These small and locally run businesses embrace the Bajan spice of life, in liquid form. Very delicious! If you’re searching for something a little more special, take a trip to the east coast and visit Sand Dunes Bar and Restaurant at Windy Hill, for an unforgettable experience.
Barbados is a distinct and striking part of the Caribbean. It’s a great fit for all types of travellers, as the island really does have it all. For a little more information about this delightful island, check out our guide to a remarkable stay!

Best Suited For: All AgesHunte's Gardens is a wonderful natural attraction owned by horticulturist Anthony Hunte and only a 30-minute drive away in Bridgetown. Classical music provides appropriate background noise for such stunning gardens which were once where sugar cane was processed into syrup.

Vacationed at Bajan Dreams between July7th - 14th with our family of 14. Grandparents to grandchildren were exceeding pleased with home, grounds, staff (Devon, Debbie, Shernell & Suzanne), views and location (golf and beach 5 minutes away). Would absolutely recommend enjoying a holiday at Bajan Dreams and personally hope to return.
