Cobblers Cove is a beautiful resort in the Caribbean haven of Barbados. It was built in 1943 as a family beach house by a plantation owner Joss Haynes but is now one of the most renowned luxury boutique hotels in Barbados.
The iconic pink and white building still retains the beauty of the original architecture with its charming bay windows and turreted rooftops. You’ll be greeted by a welcome that offers striking views from the Great House out to the crystal blue ocean beyond.
Many of its guests return year on year to experience not only the beach and sea, but the vibrant tropical gardens with its tasteful furnishings.

Barbados is gradually becoming a more welcoming destination for LGBTQ+ travelers, though it still reflects a mix of traditional Caribbean attitudes and a growing push for inclusivity. In 2022, the country took a major step forward by decriminalizing same-sex relations, a historic ruling that marked a turning point for LGBTQ+ rights in the region. While full equality is yet to be achieved, the decision signals a shift towards greater acceptance.
The island’s tourism industry has been increasingly mindful of LGBTQ+ visitors, with many resorts and businesses adopting inclusive practices. Barbados’ natural beauty, including its stunning beaches and luxury accommodations, provides a warm and inviting environment for travelers seeking relaxation and adventure. While LGBTQ+ nightlife is not as prominent as in some destinations, friendly bars, events, and private gatherings offer a sense of community for locals and visitors alike.
Advocacy groups in Barbados, such as Equals Barbados, play a key role in fostering awareness and promoting LGBTQ+ rights. Pride celebrations have also started to take root, showcasing the resilience and vibrancy of the local LGBTQ+ community.
Barbados remains a destination of contrasts—blending progress with traditional values—but is increasingly carving out a space where LGBTQ+ travelers can feel welcome and enjoy the island’s rich culture and hospitality.

Swim with Turtles
Swimming with turtles in Barbados is an experience of a lifetime, one that makes for an amazing holiday highlight at Cobblers Cove.
Barbados is home to a healthy population of Hawksbill turtles and, although once endangered by over-fishing, these great creatures are now protected throughout the island. In certain monitored areas the sociable turtles have become accustomed to humans and are very friendly.
You can swim with these magnificent creatures as they play and feed amongst the coral along the inshore reefs. Pack up the snorkels and head out on the boat for an hour, or arrange a picnic and a ride down the coast to make the most of the day.
