From the beach bars serving cool beers and fried fish to the world famous Barbados carnival – you’ll never be short of things to do.
When staying at Cobblers Cove there are a few things that the Tropic Breeze Team really think you should do! Firstly, enjoy swimming with the turtles just off the coast from Cobblers Cove beach and make use of the water sports facilities before heading to Mullin’s, a great local bar. Afternoon tea is served between 4-5 pm at Cobblers Cove and is definitely worth getting back for in time! For dinner suggestions speak to the hotel concierge and make use of the hotels boat waiting to taxi you to some of the best seafront dining options on the Island. The following day head to nearby Speightstown town and start with a double espresso at L’attitude before heading to Bathsheba on the east coast to see the rugged landscape and local culture. Friday nights are the famous fish fry night at Oistin’s; not only a dining option but a complete institution on the Island where tourists and locals come together for great local food, a buzzy atmosphere and rum punch!
Your stay in Barbados will be full of culture and vibrancy with the comfort of a fine luxury hotel, making your stay that little bit more special. Once your 7 days in Barbados is complete you will be collected by a private transfer before being flown to the island of Mustique. An exclusive, luxury and private retreat The Cotton House is set within a 13 acre estate and features only 17 rooms and The Cotton House Residence. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Caribbean Ocean to the west this Caribbean Island is a hidden gem.
Cotton House offers luxurious boutique accommodation where clean cut white linens are combined with all the modern amenities you could wish for. Certain room types also feature their own private veranda complete with pool, perfect for those looking for an “escape it all” break.

Dining at Cotton House provides guests with two in house options from the laid back beach luxe of the Beach Cafe with their all you can eat lobster nights on Tuesday’s and beach BBQ on Saturday’s to the Caribbean focused a la carte fine dining menu at the Veranda restaurant.
When staying at Cotton House it is really fulfilling to absorb the tranquillity and luxury of the Island through enjoying the local landscape and the quietness. Here are a few recommendations from the Tropic Breeze Team to make sure you explore all that the Island has to offer, our first and biggest tip is to pre book a “mule” for hire.. As the Island has no cars the hotel offers golf buggies that guests can hire, however they get very busy so make sure you book ahead.
A unique island experience is a picnic on the beach and included in your sugar and spice package is a beach picnic which can be delivered to you any where on the Island, our recommendation is the famous Macaroni beach- One of the most tranquil beaches we have come across!
Pack your complementary snorkelling equipment from your room and spend your day enjoying the water sports available around the Island from water skiing to deep sea fishing and diving- the oceans surrounding this Island are an abundance of marine life that anyone would feel lucky to explore. Once you have finished with your day of water sports head back to Cotton House and enjoy the all you can eat Lobster grill followed by an evening movie on the lawn. Cotton House puts an emphasis on wellness and offers a great range of activities and spa treatments to help you relax, we would suggest starting your morning with a yoga classes before heading to the spa to try one of their indulgent treatments. For those looking for a little more action and wanting to explore, Mustique’s location makes other island’s very accessible including day trips to nearby Bequia, Palm Island, Union Island and Petit St Vincent. For a day trip the famous Tobago Cays are nearby and offer some of the areas best diving and snorkelling.
The beauty of Cotton House lies in its luxury, service and location. Mustique provides guests with an island hideaway with plenty on offer….
