A break to Barbados could be just the tonic for a dreary British winter - and there are plenty of winter sun holidays to be found as the mercury starts to drop. The island is a very popular winter destination thanks to its year-round beautiful weather - it boasts an annual average temperature of between 24 and 29 degrees C - and laid-back Caribbean lifestyle. Fun in the sun on a Barbados break Whether you're travelling solo, as half of a couple or part of a larger group of friends, you'll find Barbados offers plenty to keep you entertained. Wintertime is when the resorts really come alive - you can expect the widest range of entertainment and extensive service from restaurants, hotels and shops. But because the winter season sees the largest crowds flock to Barbados, it is important to book your flights at least three months in advance for the best holiday deals. Of course Christmas is a very popular time to indulge in a bit of rest and relaxation on a Barbados beach, but there are other winter events on the island that are also worth investigating. Errol Barrow Day, which is held in honour of the former prime minister of Barbados who helped to lead the country to independence from Britain, is held on January 21st. This public holiday is unique to Barbados - although you may find that with the exception of celebrations, very few shops will be open on this day! Celebrate Old Year's Night on your winter Barbados adventure Barbados is also a great place to ring in the new year - Hollywood stars such as Gerard Butler have been spotted celebrating on the island in past years. New Year's Eve - known locally as Old Year's Night - is a fantastic time to explore the street party on Second Street in Holetown, take a sunset boat tour of the neighbouring islands or sit back and watch the fireworks over Port St Charles. There are plenty of things to see and do on a winter break to Barbados - why not sample some delicious island cuisine or hire a bicycle to explore the islands at your leisure? You can also try the local rum - Malibu hails from this part of the Caribbean - or journey up Mount Hillaby, which is the highest point in Barbados and offers stunning views across the island. Of course, you can always kick back, relax and enjoy the beach too - the island is yours to discover on your winter break to Barbados.
