Local Sights and Places of Interest
There’s the Hastings Historic District and storied Garrison area of Barbados. It is the location of the Old Colonial Officers Quarters and Army Hospital. The Savannah comprises the main military guard buildings, with beautiful Victorian architecture complete with a large collection of old cannons, the Barbados Turf Club (Horse Racing), the historical museum, and a vast open sports area for rugby, soccer, cricket, all surrounded by walking and running tracks.
The successful Barbados Fertility Clinic is also located in Hastings and any one of our villas in this area are close enough for super convenient access, however we would highly recommend the Fairy Annex as it is a perfect fit for one couple, as well as being just far enough away from the bustle of the main road to ensure that you have total peace and quiet to relax between appointments.
For Shoppers
It’s a short walk to Lanterns mall, a great stop for groceries and general supplies, a pharmacy, health food store, Haagen Das ice cream, and tasty local and foreign food alternatives for those looking for a quick meal.
There are duty free shops in Worthing, five minutes by local bus or take a ten minute ride to Bridgetown. On Broad Street you will find fine jewelry shops, Cave Shepherd, a large department store, and other shops. For a great local shopping experience visit bustling Swan Street.
For Foodies
There are great dining choices on the boardwalk, Blakey’s, Tapas, and Naru with a half dozen others within walking distance, including Art Splash (just opposite Blakey’s) which does a great breakfast. Be sure to catch the Saturday farmer’s market there from 9AM to 1PM for your typical local Barbadian produce and crafts.
