Immerse yourself in island life with a range of exciting things to do at our resort in Barbados. Attend our Aqua School to participate in water sports such as snorkeling, sailing, boogie boarding and paddle boarding. Also, available from February 25, 2013 you can sign up for our new tours: the Stand-Up Paddle Turtle Tour and guided Snorkeling at Folkestone Water Park; or visit other West Coast Elegant properties via our complimentary water taxi. Guests can also take the Garden Walk Tour to learn about the beautiful lush Colony vegetation. Our concierge staff can arrange island excursions like catamaran cruises, rugged safari tours, duty-free shopping trips and glass-bottomed boat rides; or you can explore on your own by renting a car, bicycle, scooter or ATV. Visit St. Nicholas Abbey and see one of the three remaining Jacobean mansions in the Western hemisphere, or take a solar-powered electric tram to view sparkling pools and eye-catching stalactites in Harrison's Cave. Stay active with a round of golf on manicured greens and yoga at the fitness centre, or soak up the sun at one of our four sprawling swimming pools.
