Almond Beach Village Resort: Background

Almond Village is a family-friendly all-inclusive property on Barbados' west "gold coast". A second property, the Almond Club & Spa features romantic getaways.

Barbados is a small Caribbean island that's been much developed in the last twenty years. (Read about family vacations in Barbados.)

Barbados is perceived as “the most British” of the Caribbean islands, and is considered a safe, friendly island. Known for high-end resorts such as Sandy Lane, prices may be higher than on some other Caribbean islands. Barbados is especially popular with UK visitors who take packages offered by several UK vacation companies.

Features of Almond Beach Village for families:

  • all-inclusive rate
  • nursery for babies and toddlers
  • kids program for ages 4-12
  • extensive grounds, with pools and section just for families

  • opportunity to explore the island by rental car (if you can drive on the left!)
  • a five-minute walk down the beach to Speightstown offers a chance to explore a real Bajan town
