Christ Church Accommodation

The parish of Christ Church is located on the south coast of Barbados and has one of the most extensive ranges of accommodation. You can stay in a self-catering apartment, villa or hotel and be within walking distance of some great beaches, restaurants, and nightlife.

The parish of Christ Church starts at Grantley Adams International Airport on the south-east coast and runs along the south coast until you get to the Garrison Savannah, where the parish changes to St. Michael. All along the south coast main road, you will find beachside accommodation, which caters to all budgets.

Christ Church is a lively parish with bustling nightlife, fine dining restaurants, and many tourist attractions; therefore, if you are looking for an active vacation, then you should look at accommodation options in the parish of Christ Church.

If you are coming on a water sports holiday, then you will find some great surfing spots in Christ Church around Freights Bay. If you are a windsurfer or kitesurfer, then you will see the great wave and wind conditions at Long Beach, Silver Rock, and Silver Sands. There are a lot of self-catering apartments around these beaches, which will suit you better if you want to be out on the water all day.

You may also consider the option of a guesthouse, which is like a hotel; however, they are generally smaller with only a handful of rooms, and not all of them have a swimming pool. The advantage of choosing a guesthouse is that you can eat in when you want to and dine out as you please, and they are a lot more cost-effective than a hotel regarding room rates.

The benefit of staying in a hotel is that everything is on hand regarding food and drinks. You can even choose a hotel that offers an all-inclusive option, and you won’t need to worry about carrying around cash.

However, if you want to take advantage of the local nightlife, then you may decide to go for a half board option, where just your breakfast is included. Then you can experience some of the fine dining restaurants and party until the early hours of the morning.
