No amazing vacation is complete without sampling the local beverages, and so we wanted to make sure you were clued up on the Top 5 Bars on the Platinum Coast Barbados.
Barbados is of course the home of Mount Gay Rum, which in our opinion is the best island tipple! Whether you enjoy taste-testing the whole cocktail menu, or prefer having a glass in hand when watching the sun set, we’ve complied a list of our favourite spots along the West Coast.
So with that being said, we invite you to read through our guide to the Top 5 Bars on the Platinum Coast Barbados (in no particular order)…
1. La Cabane Beach Club
We just love this spot, and couldn’t recommend it enough! La Cabane is a dream during the day – just perfect for relaxing on the beach and taking a dip in the ocean.
La Cabane is even more amazing at night! We suggest staying to watch an incredible Caribbean sunset, whilst sipping on a Pina Colada or rum punch. A picture perfect setting, all the tropical island vibes you could ever need!
Head over to their website for more.

2. Ju Ju’s Beach Bar
A casual little place with plenty to offer. Serving delicious ice cold drinks, Ju Ju’s beach Bar is off the main road, and located directly on the beach. For those who have an adventurous streak, there are water-sport activities that can be arranged/hired on the beach.
Ju Ju’s is also a firm favourite amongst locals, so a top tip would be to arrive early if you’re hoping to watch the sun set, as this bar get’s super busy!
