Holiday rentals in St Philip
In many ways holiday rentals in St Philips are similar to those dotted around the rest of the island. Barbados as a whole is a place of beautiful beaches, friendly locals, and a sense of inherent relaxation, and St Philips is no different. However, look closer at holiday rentals in this southern coastal region, and you will discover that it has its own attractions. Essentially the area is a flat plain teeming with sugar cane. These fields, and the location of Grantley Adams International Airport, are the obvious landmarks that distinguish St Philips from the rest of the island. But it has plenty more to offer! Crane Beach, for example, is home to the oldest hotel in Barbados and it has some fascinating history if you have the time.

More about your St Philip holiday...
Or perhaps you’re looking at holiday rentals near Heritage Park. You don’t have to be in Barbados for long to notice that there are abandoned sugar mills everywhere, but in the 1990s a restoration process took place on the refinery buildings in Heritage Park. When you visit the park you will not only see the restored National Trust structures, but there are also helpful guided tours and a fascinating sugar machinery museum. Whichever part of St Philips your holiday rentals are in, they will not be far from a sign of Barbadian history. The Sunbury Plantation House is a must-see, from the charming collection of Victorian antiques to the original teak and mahogany trees. Not far from the plantation is St Philips Church which is also worth visiting. Last but not least, venture from your holiday rentals to see the scenic East Point Lighthouse and Sam Lord’s castle, which has a very entertaining history!
