Barbados’ second largest city is Holetown, located on the popular west coast of the island. This town is known for its beautiful scenery, scuba diving and snorkeling and the celebrities that vacation here every year. This area is also popular for its vibrant nightlife, so there is something for everyone here. As the summer holiday season winds down, now is the time to start looking for your Barbados retreat in this popular destination.
With all the great restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs, it’s no wonder many celebs decide to pay a visit to Holetown.

The city hosts the colorful Holetown Festival every year in February, with the opening ceremony at the Holetown Monument. The week-long festival highlights the Barbadian arts, traditions and culture and the events include historical lectures, exhibitions, concerts as well as sporting events. It also provides a great island escape from winter in the northern hemisphere.
Water sports are a big attraction here, with great snorkeling and diving. The west side of the island doesn’t have the big waves of the east side, so the water is perfect for exploring the reefs and sea life that abound. Also popular are paragliding and jet skiing, and those who want to surf can head to the other side of the island for some great waves.
