Barbados chat — Little England with a Caribbean soul
Barbados punches well above its weight for a 430 km² island. It has one of the Caribbean's highest GDPs per capita, a proud cricket tradition, a deeply rooted literary and artistic culture, and the distinction of being Rihanna's birthplace. Bridgetown — a UNESCO World Heritage city — is the social and commercial heart, while the island's Crop Over festival rivals Caribbean Carnival at its finest. Nearby Chat gives you a direct line into Bajan life.
