East Coast Barbados |
Barbados is one of the most popular luxury holiday destinations in the world. Renowned for its breathtaking scenery, the richness of its culture and above all the friendliness of its people it provides the best of all worlds - it is one of the best places to relax, but it's also full of chic restaurants, vibrant nightclubs and worldclass golf courses.
Barbados has an endearingly British atmosphere and cricket is the national sport. But despite the British influence, it is a cosmopolitan country with a strong character of its own. It is prosperous and progressive and still full of natural charm; the Caribbean culture is very much evident in its cuisine, music and people.
Located where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea and close to the equator, Barbados enjoys a warm and sunny climate all year. It is predominantly flat with rolling hills to the north, and has a unique coral structure which acts as a natural filter making its waters amongst the purest in the world.
The Atlantic east coast is less developed and ruggedly beautiful, offering some spectacular panoramas forged over millions of years by the powerful Atlantic Ocean's winds and waves.
The Merricks Beach Resort is situated in the south east of Barbados on the stunning Atlantic coast in the parish of St Philip, 4km north of The Crane and next to Sam Lord’s Castle just 20 minutes from the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport.
