(Newswire.net — January 13, 2015) Bridgetown, ST. MICHAEL — For this special Caribbean beach villa holiday package Settlers Beach Villa Hotel and St. Nicholas Abbey historic plantation had teamed together to offer indepenent trvellers and family a truely remarkable vacation. TGhe vacation is a feature issue of Travelers Insights Magazine and is promoted on the Barbados Tourism site Barbados.org
As part of the promotion, Settlers is offering an exceptional discount on luxury beach front self catering villa rentals and is also funding an exclusive tour of St. Nicholas Abbey. St. Nicholas Abbey is the only Jacobean Sugar factory operating in the world. The extensive renovations done by its latest owner, Larry Warren, have maintained the historical architecture of the buildings down to the minutest details.
This tour includes taxi fares to the Abby, a complementary rum punch made from the vintage rum brewed on site, and a film taking guests back in time to the early voyages and life on the sugar plantation. After the film guests tour the factory and see how sugar was crushed over 100 years ago on a classic steam mill made by Fletchers of Derby in London. The mill may be the only one of its kind still crushing sugar today. The tour then looks at the refining process that brings out the special flavor of Barbados rum. Guests can not only sample vintage rums but also order and purchase custom-engraved bottle of rum, which make great keepsakes or presents.
Independent-minded travelers looking for an exciting selfcatering Caribbean vacation with the freedom to choose and arrange their time, activities and accommodation on their terms will be pleased to learn that these new island lifestyle vacations offer all these things and more.
