Ready to book your trip to Barbados? Below are some of my favorite resources and platforms for booking travel to Barbados — and around the world, for that matter!

Book Hotels and Resorts in Barbados
Booking.com: Booking is my go-to place for picking hotels and resorts while traveling. I like Booking.com because you can make an account and get discounts over time as you book more stays. Plus, the map feature makes it easy to compare hotels in the areas you’re interested in.
Trivago: Trivago is interesting because you can search for the area you want to visit, put in your dates, and it will show you a list of hotels with prices from different platforms. This is nice for quickly grabbing the best price among platforms like Booking, Expedia, and Hotels.com.
Apartments and Rentals
VRBO: VRBO is great for finding apartments, beach houses, and rental accommodations. You can find large villas for groups (helloooo 5-bedroom oceanfront mansion with infinity pool!), and long-term accommodations if you want more comforts of home.
Book Barbados Flights
Skyscanner: This is usually the first place I go when booking flights because you can see different prices across several airlines. They also give recommendations for the best tickets, fastest tickets, and cheapest tickets.
Booking.com Flights: Booking.com is known for hotels, but you can also use the platform to book flights. I usually check both Skyscanner and Booking to compare prices, and Booking can potentially save you money if you bundle your hotel and flight.
Rental Cars in Barbados
Drive-A-Matic: Drive-A-Matic is a Caribbean car hire company that operates in Barbados. This is a good option if you want your car delivered and picked up somewhere other than the airport since they do home and hotel pickup/delivery. I’ve used them for car rentals on two trips to Barbados (once with home delivery and once with airport pickup) and everything went smoothly.
DiscoverCars and RentalCars.com: These platforms are great for finding rental cars that you can pick up at Grantley Adams International Airport. We usually check both platforms before booking to price shop.
Tours and Activities in Barbados
Get Your Guide: I’ve had a great experience with Get Your Guide in Barbados and elsewhere. I use this site to book tours and excursions, and I like being able to filter by type of experience, like water activities, food tours, and nature trips.
Viator: Viator also offers guided tours and experiences, and they usually have more variety than Get Your Guide. (At the time of writing, Viator has +200 experiences for Barbados and GYG has around 40).
Cruising to Barbados
Booking Cruises: Booking.com also has cruises! Go to the search bar and add Barbados as a destination. This will show you all the cruises that stop in Bridgetown, and you can also adjust your search to find cruises that leave from Barbados.
Cruise Critic: Cruise Critic has a ton of sailings across different cruise lines, and you can choose a sailing that departs from Barbados or stops in Barbados. Click “Find a cruise” and add Barbados as your departure port. Then you can put in your preferred dates and get a list of all the sailings in that window.
Barbados Vacation Packages
Love Holidays: Love Holidays is a UK site where you can put in your destination, dates, and preferred inclusions and they’ll find flight and hotel packages that match your search. You can also filter to find all-inclusive options, adults-only, family-friendly, and luxury spa stays. I’m impressed by the prices for flight + accommodation on this site, and I’m eyeing this for my next trip!
Expedia Vacation Packages: Expedia also has a cool vacation package feature where you can bundle flights, hotels, and rental cars for a discounted price. Head to the packages tab and select the things you’d like to include, then search for your dates to pull up bundles with everything taken care of.
