On the island’s Platinum Coast, Holetown blends rich history with modern luxury. This is where the first English settlers arrived in 1627, and today it’s a sophisticated destination known for golden beaches, boutique shopping, and fine dining. Imagine mornings spent lounging on soft sands or snorkeling in calm turquoise waters, followed by leisurely walks to St. James Parish Church, one of the oldest in the Caribbean.
The town’s upscale side comes alive at the Limegrove Lifestyle Centre, where designer boutiques, art galleries, and jewelry shops invite indulgence. In between shopping, stop for cocktails at a chic beach bar or enjoy a long lunch at one of the coast’s celebrated restaurants. Nature lovers will appreciate nearby Folkestone Marine Park, where you can swim among coral reefs and tropical fish just steps from shore.
For foodies, Holetown offers a refined culinary scene that includes chef’s tasting menus and modern takes on local favorites like flying fish and cou-cou. Whether dining in a candlelit seaside restaurant or sampling Bajan street bites with a twist, the flavors here are unforgettable. A visit to the Holetown Monument, marking the exact spot of the first English landing, offers a small yet meaningful glimpse into the island’s past—one that many visitors overlook.
The best time to visit is December through April for sunny skies and gentle breezes. Arrive in February and you’ll be swept up in the Holetown Festival, a vibrant celebration filled with historical reenactments, street parades, crafts, and music.
If Holetown’s blend of history, glamour, and beachfront relaxation sounds perfect for your celebration, let’s reserve your group’s west coast escape before the best villas and suites are claimed.
