Travel to Barbados is now as it was before the pandemic.
The destination announced this week that the island has officially lifted all travel health restrictions.
This means there are no additional screening requirements to visit Barbados, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated.
And this means that no proof of vaccination is required.
Barbados said wearing masks would “generally be optional now”.
Masks are still mandatory for people working in healthcare, hospitals, public transport, etc.
“This is the latest step to reflect our open-for-business stance following the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Barbados Tourism Minister Lisa Cummins. We look forward to continuing to welcome visitors to our shores with all the new and returning events planned for the remainder of the year and into early 2023.
The move officially came into effect on September 23.
Barbados joins a growing number of Caribbean destinations that have similarly lifted all their travel bans, most recently the US Virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis, Martinique and Grenada, among others.
The move comes ahead of what Barbados expects to be a very strong winter tourism season, with a number of UK carriers returning to the island and a renewed push into the US market.
So where to stay now?
Some of the hottest hotels on the island include Marriott’s boutique comprehensive portfolio, led by The House, Treasure Beach and Tamarind, along with other luxury startups such as Sandy Lane, Port Ferdinand, St Peter’s Bay and Fairmont Royal Pavilion.
