Renting a holiday apartment in Saint Thomas means choosing a stay in the interior of Barbados. Saint Thomas has no access to the coast; at the same time, caves, landscapes and historic houses can be included in your itinerary. The key consideration is therefore whether you are looking for a coastal location or days spent enjoying nature and culture in the interior of the island.

Saint Thomas: Nature and history in the interior of the island

Saint Thomas is located in the interior of Barbados and is one of the island’s two parishes without access to the coast. The landscape includes cave systems and verdant gullies. Harrison’s Cave is an attraction associated with Saint Thomas and is a limestone cave with streams and pools.

Within the context of Saint Thomas, Mount Hillaby is one of the area’s prominent landscape features and is associated with views across the island as far as the ocean. Historic houses in the parish include Bagatelle Great House, Lion Castle Plantation House and Welches Plantation House. This makes it possible to combine days spent enjoying nature and culture in a varied itinerary.

Which accommodation suits which itinerary?

Saint Thomas is a suitable choice if caves, landscapes and historic houses are just as important as a classic Barbados holiday by the sea. Anyone who wants to stay directly by the sea should compare Saint Thomas with a coastal alternative in Barbados; Saint Thomas itself is located in the interior of the island.

Holiday apartments, holiday homes or hotels can be considered as different search options. In Saint Thomas, looking for accommodation makes particular sense when days spent enjoying nature and culture shape the itinerary. Base your further search on your preferred itinerary and the location of the accommodation in question.
