Barefoot Breaks

What Makes Barefoot Breaks Different

Island travel websites are a dime a dozen, so what makes Barefoot Breaks stand out from the crowd? The answer is deceptively simple. A line-up of unique lodges not sold by other operators, a kick-ass website (well, we think so anyway!) and an expert team of consultants.

Our Website

Not Just Another Website

So many island travel websites give you the same identical boring resort descriptions that actually tell you nothing. Not us! With loads of pics as well as our expert opinions on WHAT'S HOT & WHAT'S NOT about every lodge and hotel, we'll truly put you in the picture!

Our detailed reviews are genuinely useful tools to potential travellers, with our personal opinions of what we feel are the strengths, weaknesses and individual characters of each property. Not to mention that we include loads of images too, so you can get a real feel for every island and every beach. Frankly, we think our website kicks butt!

A line-up of Unique Lodges

Most tour operators sell an almost identical range of hotels – mainly big (and frankly often charmless) resorts catering to the masses. Barefoot Breaks is different. What we love instead are smaller, characterful and authentic island lodges, often located in the most unspoilt and idyllically secluded locations, that reflect the true character of their specific island.

So if you're seeking a more memorable and authentic holiday experience well away from the tourist crowds, then check out our portfolio of chic and intimate island lodges. From simple rustic beach bungalows to top-end barefoot luxury suites complete with plunge pools and butlers, there's something to suit most tastes and budgets!

Real People, Real Advice

We're real people who are able to give you straight unbiased advice to find the perfect lodge to match your needs and budget. Those big faceless automated booking engines: sure, they'll indicate a price for a lodge, but will they be able to give you the useful advice you need to ensure that you choose the lodge that's right for your specific needs? In a word: "no".

Or if you go through to the lodge directly, well of course they're always going to talk up their property as being the perfect choice for you. But it may well be that there are other lodges better suited to your specific needs and wants – which is where we come in…

Our consultants will give you their impartial forthright advice and opinions as to what they believe are the lodges best suited to your needs and give YOU the best possible experience!
