Relax in completely renovated accommodations, including incredible new suites with butler service. See ad on pages 13, 14-15, 95 and 103. BARBADOS Gentle hills roll right down to panoramic, rosy shores in Barbados, and a colonial past offers a host of historical attractions, from small villages rife with charm to old sugar mills and restored plantation estates that hark back to the 1600s. English elegance and Caribbean hospitality are ingrained into the local customs of this elite island, where refined luxury and exceptional dining are a way of life. Get a taste of the U.K. by attending a cricket match, the national sport of the sovereign island country. Take in a leisurely traditional afternoon tea, where tiers of fresh-baked pastries and finger sandwiches break the view of the tropical waters before you, or make time for "tee" of a different sort with championship golfing under an average of 3,000 annual hours of sun. Next, take the white glove off and trade it in for your best jacket for a sumptuous meal on the Platinum Coast, the 15 mile Millionaires' Playground, toss that jacket aside and dance with abandon to live reggae and calypso, found throughout the island. A luxury-lover and active vacationer's paradise, the Bajan spirit is what melds contrasting styles in such sweet harmony. Located where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea, where sophisticated tradition is found in pockets between up-tempo festivals like Crop Over, and where windsurfers' dreams come true just minutes from calm, soft beaches, Barbados is where it all comes together.
