Destination Barbados

Colourful Christmas trees and lights in the parks trees and shrubs have Queens Park aglow in Barbados' capital city Bridgetown.

As the Christmas season approaches the beautiful Christmas candles start to bloom across Barbados 😊 In many local gardens these are planted interspersed with Poinsettia flowers creating a magical display of red and gold that's just perfect for the Christmas season. This evergreen shrub thrives well in the Barbados climate. The plant is a good source of chrysophanic acid, which is used to treat skin disease It is also believed to have antiviral properties. Beautiful and useful!

The team at Barbados.org extends warm wishes for a Merry Christmas to all our fans & followers, all visitors to Barbados, and all our industry partners. May your holiday season be filled with joy and your New Year be one of happiness and fulfillment of your dreams.
