Sunbury Plantation House

Plantation · South East · St. Philip

Rating: 4.5 / 5

Sunbury Plantation House in St. Philip is one of only a handful of 17th-century plantation great houses still open to the public in Barbados. Built around 1660 and filled with antique mahogany furniture, carriages, hurricane lamps, militaria and household artefacts, the house gives an atmospheric sense of Bajan plantation life. A rum bar and restaurant in the old buttery, plus an evening candlelit dinner in the main dining room, round out the experience. Guided tours explain both the grandeur and the complicated history of sugar.
