From Rihanna Drive to fascinating caves to essential distilleries, we take a look at the landmark attractions of Barbados.
Kensington Oval
Barbados is one of the international centres for cricket, and the island’s oldest and most iconic stadium, the Kensington Oval, hosts regular test matches between the months of January and April. As one of the many home grounds used by the West Indies, the historic home of Barbadian cricket regularly witnesses classic encounters against England, Australia, New Zealand, India, Pakistan, and South Africa.
The Garrison
The Garrison is one of eight cultural heritage conservation areas on the island and represents a distinguished era of military colonial history, made up of 115 listed buildings. Within the precincts of this sprawling site, visitors can explore a fascinating collection of history through both colonial and vernacular architecture.
Rihanna Drive
Found on the outskirts of Bridgetown, Rihanna Drive is the childhood home and community where world-famous Caribbean icon, billionaire businesswoman, and multi-award-winning popstar Rihanna grew up. Originally known as Westbury New Road, the name was changed in 2017 to celebrate one of Barbados’ most famed stars and share a part of her childhood with the world, now existing as a must-visit destination for any avid Rihanna superfan.
