The Barbadian way of life is hardly fast-paced, but somehow things seem to slow to an even more incredibly relaxing crawl in and around Saint Philip. Treated to the cool trade winds that blow in from the south east and with a decidedly more sophisticated overall ambience than many of the island's other primary tourist haunts, the property market in Saint Philip is known for being a beacon of stability and a hotbed of solid opportunity. Buying into any area of Barbados is never going to be cheap, but with generally high rents and superb demand throughout the year, it's a move that can be rewarding.
