A room like a refuge, a Jacuzzi like a ritual

At The Abidah by Accra, every room exudes space and serenity. It’s like entering a cocoon: the volumes are ample, the natural light caresses the walls, and the furnishings blend contemporary elegance with nods to the nearby sea. The bed, vast and cozy, calls for a siesta as well as a deep sleep. Everything here seems designed to soothe the body as well as the mind.

But the real soul of the hotel is the private Jacuzzi on every balcony. A true evening ritual, it becomes a natural extension of the day. It’s as if you’re rediscovering a precious habit: tossing back the bubbles, plunging into the warmth of the water, looking up at the sky, feeling your fatigue dissolve in the steam.

Sometimes we sit there in silence. Sometimes, we remake the world. But we always come back. Because at any time of day, this open-air bath is much more than a luxury: it’s a moment for yourself.

Even the bathroom reflects this quest for balance and well-being. On one side, a large shower and elegant double washbasin, perfect for sharing the morning ritual without getting in each other’s way. On the other, a separate area houses the WC, again with its own washbasin: a fluid layout designed to preserve the privacy and comfort of each individual.

Natural light glides over the surfaces, the materials are sober, the lines clean. Nothing ostentatious, but a real sense of space and calm. You prepare slowly, you breathe easier. Even here, in this space that is often functional elsewhere, The Abidah invites you to slow down and savor.

Taste and share

The table is truly part of the footprint of The Abidah by Accra. Throughout the day, the all-inclusive formula offers carefully prepared, well-spiced dishes, with a consistency that is truly appreciable. Buffet or table service, I’ve always had the impression of having a plate that’s well-crafted, colorful and full of taste.

At Remous Restaurant & Lounge, dinner becomes a true moment of discovery.
Chef Deepak Patwal , who is of Indian origin, brings his own particular sensibility to the table: world cuisine revisited “Caribbean-style”, where spices, marinades and blends tell the story of his heritage as much as of Barbados’ culinary identity.

The result: bright, balanced dishes that look as good as they taste.

Lime-spiked grilled fish, brightly colored tropical plates, desserts revisited without heaviness, spicy touches that surprise without ever dominating, and cocktails with local rum that prolong the voyage.

What really stood out for me was this natural way of taking the palate on a journey, without seeking spectacular effect.
Flavors that make sense, an assumed identity, and a use of spices that adds character to every bite. At the table, one senses a constant intention: to give pleasure, surprise just enough, and leave a trace that accompanies the stay.

Between beach and pool

Facing Enterprise Bay, The Abidah by Accra offers an immediately soothing view. Open the curtains and the sea is there, clear and bright, with nothing to distract it.

In the morning, you enjoy the calm of your room before heading downstairs for a generous breakfast, served with an attention to detail that puts you straight into a good mood. Here, everything is designed to keep things simple: no complications, no overload, just what you need to start the day serenely.

The swimming pool and beach, just a few steps away, allow you to enjoy the outdoors effortlessly. It’s easy to move from one space to another, take your time and breathe, which is exactly what you’re looking for.

In the evening, we return to the comfort of the Abidah as an anchor. A good hot meal, a relaxing shower or Jacuzzi, then a deep, uninterrupted night.

What remains is not just the beauty of the place: it’s that impression of a fluid, soothing stay, where everything unfolds naturally and you simply feel good.

We leave The Abidah with more than just a fond memory: the sensation of having been welcomed with genuine consideration, in a Barbados that is luminous, generous and true to itself.

Larimar: From Barahona to the World—A Stone That Has Become Part of Our Cultural Heritage

In Barahona, in the southwestern part of the Dominican Republic, a blue stone bridges geology, craftsmanship, and national identity. Larimar is not only prized for its color: its history is tied to a specific region, to those who mine it, and to those who craft it. From the Sierra de Bahoruco to the jewelry workshops, its journey illustrates how a local resource can become cultural heritage, a symbol, and a cause for conservation. In Barahona, a stone begins its journey In 1974, Dominican artisan Miguel Méndez became interested in a blue stone known in the Barahona region. Together with geologist Norman Rilling, he helped identify its deposit and develop its use in jewelry. Méndez also gave it its name: “Larimar,” a combination of “Larissa,” his daughter’s first name, and “mar,” the Spanish word for “sea.” Behind this name, which has become familiar in the Dominican Republic, lies a history deeply

World Steelpan Day: In Trinidad, Young People March Alongside the Pioneers

This Tuesday, August 11, Trinidad and Tobago celebrates World Steelpan Day with a program built around a powerful idea: connecting those who shaped the movement with the generation that must now carry it forward. In Port of Spain, performances by youth orchestras, the Ancestral Walk, and a closing concert come together to create a day where memory does not stand still. It flows, is played out, and is passed on. In Port of Spain, a day designed to symbolize a passing of the torch Pan Trinbago has chosen “Rhythm and Rise: Youth. Discipline. Culture. Community.” as the theme for the 2026 edition. This choice is no coincidence. For this World Steelpan Day, the organization is clearly placing youth at the center of the program, while paying tribute to the movement’s pioneers. The celebration begins at the Massy Trinidad All Stars Steel Orchestra’s panyard, featuring youth ensembles from various regions of
