Barbados Sightseeing: Towns & Villages: Holetown

The first settlement in Barbados, Holetown, was originally named Jamestown, after its benefactor, King James I of England. The Holetown Monument (in picture) commemorates the first English landing in Barbados in 1625.

It acquired the name "Holetown" because of the off loading and cleaning of ships in the very small channel located within the immediate vicinity of the town. Holetown is the site of the annual Holetown Festival, a colourful local festival of crafts, music, and historical parades!

Calypso Rentals' properties are located at the hub of the prestigious West Coast of Barbados, within easy walking distance of all water sports, golf, tennis, shopping, restaurants, bars and nightlife.
