Divi Resorts Extends ‘Kids Stay and Eat Free’ Programme for Summer 2026

Divi Resorts has announced an extension of its seasonal accommodation programme, extending the ‘Kids Can Stay & Eat Free’ initiative for the 2026 summer period. The promotional framework, which requires booking confirmation by 21 May 2026, establishes base rates at $164 per night. For families travelling to the Barbados property, Divi Southwinds Beach Resort, this policy adjustment significantly alters the projected daily expenditure for groups travelling with dependents under the age of 12.

The Divi Southwinds property is located in the St. Lawrence Gap sector, approximately 9.5 kilometres from the Bridgetown Port and 11 kilometres from Grantley Adams International Airport. The resort features direct access to 800 metres of beachfront and operates three freshwater swimming pools. For parents planning daily excursions, the geographical positioning of the resort allows for efficient access to both the southern commercial districts and the primary highway network leading to the interior geological formations.

When coordinating family itineraries, integrating structured physical activities ensures optimal time management. Inland excursions frequently target Harrison’s Cave, a crystallised limestone cavern system located 210 metres above sea level. The site operates electric tram tours that penetrate 1.5 kilometres into the subterranean network, passing active stalactite formations and deep subterranean pools. Alternatively, the Animal Flower Cave at the northernmost point of St. Lucy provides access to coastal sea caves characterised by their indigenous sea anemone populations and 50-metre cliff faces.

For marine-based family activities, the western coastline offers the most stable hydrological conditions. The inshore reef systems provide safe environments for juvenile swimmers, with average water temperatures maintaining a steady 28°C. We recommend reviewing our Snorkeling & Park Activities guidelines for precise depth charts and safety protocols before entering the water. Families seeking a controlled introduction to the marine environment can utilise the Folkestone Coral Reef Clear Kayak Tour. This equipment allows passengers to observe the benthic zones and reef structures from the surface without the prerequisite of advanced swimming proficiency.
