Retire in Barbados

"Retirees in Barbados and its surroundings enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with plenty of activities to keep them busy. There is an active expat community, with many retirees from the UK, Canada, and the US. There are plenty of cultural attractions to explore, such as the Barbados Museum and Historical Society, the Barbados National Trust, and the Barbados Wildlife Reserve. There are also plenty of recreational activities to enjoy, such as golf, tennis, sailing, and swimming. For those looking for a bit of nightlife, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to explore, as well as live music and entertainment," explained one retiree living in Barbados.

"We have a very active expat community with lots of clubs to join such as the American women's club, Canadian women's club, majong club, cards group, sailing club, etc. Their are also lots of opportunities for volunteering in different groups if that suits you. The recreation mostly centers around water life (beach, boating, snorkeling, etc) but we also have other interests as I mentioned above. The nightlife is good. We do not really go clubbing but have lots of opportunities to meetup with friends from drinks or have cocktails at fundraisers and other parties. The restaurant selection is also quite good," said one retiree in living in Clapham Ridge, Barbados.
