Sockets in Barbados
The plug types you’ll find in Barbados are Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Barbados
After extensive testing on the road and careful checks on safety, durability, functionality and cost, this adaptor proved to be the most reliable choice.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Some of your kit may need a voltage converter in Barbados, since the local mains doesn’t line up with Britain’s 230 V.
Have a look at your device’s voltage label before plugging in abroad. If it says ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, there’s no need for a converter — laptops, tablets and other modern gadgets usually have this built in.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling light doesn’t mean leaving the essentials behind. A luggage scale is a lifesaver at check-in, a power bank makes sure your gadgets are always ready, and packing cubes keep everything neat and easy to find. We’ve used them on countless trips, and they’ve earned their spot in our bags every time.
