With a delightful climate, brilliant white beaches, beautiful wildlife and scenery, the Island’s blend of Bajan flamboyance and British influence has charmed travellers and settlers for centuries.             Alongside the authentic atmosphere of the West Indies, Barbados also has a uniquely relaxed British feel, epitomised by the national obsession with cricket, the pretty churches and the many places that carry familiar names like Brighton, Cambridge, Chelsea and the Kensington Oval. The capital, Bridgetown, even has its own statue of Lord Nelson.         A healthy economy, stable political climate and excellent infrastructure make Barbados the perfect choice for holiday homes and investments. Its residents now include business executives, film stars and some of the world’s most famous families.
