FLIGHTS + GETTING AROUND
There are many direct flights to Barbados (BGI) from central hubs in the US (e.g., New York, Boston, DC, Miami), Canada (e.g., Toronto) or via London.
We recommend renting a car to give you the greatest flexibility in getting around Barbados. It may be easiest to rent a car directly from the airport (we recommend Stoute's car rental!) or via your hotel. Taxis are available, but may be harder to access 24/7.
Barbados has a range of accommodation options depending on your preferences! For groups, we recommend looking into Airbnb's or private villas as you'll get a better rate. ​
AIR BNB'S OR PRIVATE VILLA'S
We recommend staying on the island’s West Coast, near the venue—look for places in Holetown or Speightstown. Browse our curated list of Airbnbs you can consider or check out Blue Sky Luxury for stunning villas with online booking. Not sure what to book? Feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help!
