Electricity and power sockets

The local electrical grid operates on 110V and 50Hz, which are values that the vast majority of commonly used appliances in Europe can handle without difficulty.

Sockets and plugs in Barbados are of type A and B. Corresponding types are used mainly in North and Central America, China and Japan. Travellers from other countries will therefore need an adapter.

• Sockets - A and B
• Voltage - 110 V
• Frequency - 50 Hz

Internet

Free wi-fi is available in all hotels, resorts and is offered by the vast majority of private guesthouse and apartment operators.

In public places, free wi-fi is available in restaurants or fast-food outlets.

Bridgetown Airport has many kiosks of local mobile operators who will offer data sim cards.
