Cricket, rum, a slower west coast.

The west coast holds the calm water, the sunsets and the five-star restaurants. The east coast holds the surf and the Atlantic drama. The interior holds the gully walks and the Mount Gay distillery. You don’t see Barbados from one beach.

Cricket matches at Kensington Oval if the season aligns. The Saturday fish fry at Oistins. Garrison Savannah horse racing. Sandy Lane and Royal Westmoreland if you came to play golf. Hunte’s Gardens for an afternoon. The concierge arranges all of it.
