Carlisle Bay, Barbados

Barbados is a place where the air carries the soft scent of the ocean, and the days move at an unhurried pace. Carlisle Bay, with its powder-soft sand and turquoise waters, is one of the island’s most beautiful natural treasures. Staying at The Island Inn Hotel places you right next to this paradise, in a location that’s also steeped in history. Once a rum storage depot during the early 1800s, the building has been lovingly transformed into a charming boutique hotel with just 24 rooms, each blending modern comfort with colonial character.

Your stay is fully all-inclusive, so each morning begins with a fresh breakfast, followed by leisurely lunches and indulgent dinners that highlight both international favourites and authentic Caribbean flavours. Drinks flow freely, from fresh juices under the sun to evening cocktails by the pool.

Beyond the hotel, a short stroll will take you to the calm waters of Carlisle Bay, where you can swim, snorkel among colourful marine life, or simply lie back and watch the gentle sway of the palm trees. The UNESCO-listed Garrison Historic Area is right on your doorstep, offering a glimpse into the island’s past through its preserved fortifications and museums.

As part of this package, you’ll travel in comfort with return flights from London Heathrow and private car transfers, ensuring your journey is as smooth as your stay. Whether you’re looking to spend your days exploring coral reefs, wandering through Bridgetown’s lively streets, or simply letting the warm Caribbean sun melt away the stresses of everyday life, this trip offers it all in a perfectly balanced blend.

Departing on 28 November 2025, it’s an ideal time to experience Barbados at its best, with warm, dry weather and calm seas. Every detail has been planned to make your experience as relaxed and memorable as possible.

This holiday departs on 28 November 2025, a date chosen to offer you some of the best weather Barbados has to offer. Late November marks the start of the island’s dry season, when skies are bright, humidity is lower, and the warm Caribbean breeze makes every day feel inviting. It’s the perfect escape from the shorter, cooler days back in the UK.

During this time of year, Carlisle Bay is calm and crystal clear, ideal for swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing by the shore. You can enjoy outdoor dining without the interruption of tropical showers, explore the vibrant markets of Bridgetown, or take boat trips to spot sea turtles in their natural habitat.

Travelling at the end of November also means you arrive before the peak holiday rush in December, giving you a more peaceful and personal experience. Attractions are less crowded, and you’ll have the space to enjoy Barbados’ charm at your own pace.

From the moment your flight leaves London Heathrow to the time you return, you’ll be soaking up the warmth of both the weather and the island’s hospitality. It’s the kind of trip that stays with you long after you’ve unpacked.
