Barbados is notorious for being an expensive place to visit, here are a few ways to save some extra cash.

Villas offer self-catered luxury at a fraction of the cost per head of hotel rooms, there is a wide range of beach front villas and condominiums for $50US per person per night and up.

Eat Local – Grab a ‘Bajan’ recipe book which will make a great souvenir for your trip home, also it’s a great way to learn how to use local ingredients which are not only cheaper but at the peak of freshness. Cooking with friends and family in your villa or condo is a great way to make this trip to Barbados the best yet, you be able to stack up your own creations against the ones prepared by the locals.

Locals will be glad to point you in the right direction, enjoy the favourite spots like Codrington College, Morgan Lewis, Bathsheba, St. Nicholas Abbey and many more.

Oistins – Barbados’s best known night spot can be a great place to just sit back, listen to music and enjoy the Barbados culture.
