Welcome to Barbados, the infamous getaway of the uber famous, uber-rich and uber-cool.

Have I been there? Yes, and it was a tropical dream.

Would I go back? Quicker than you can say “I’m not a celebrity but get me to Barbados”.

Indeed Barbados is typically the tropical escape for most larger than life celebs and their accompanying entourage of paparazzi. Nicknamed the “Platinum Coast” it is the undisputed playground of  Jemima Khan, Jennifer Aniston, The Beckhams, Simon Cowell, Kate Middleton, Amy Winehouse, Tiger Woods, (he was married on the magical island), Kelly Brook, Mick Jagger, Sting, Rihanna, Robert de Niro, Mariah Carey, Sir Phillip Green, Kate Moss and Katy Perry, to name a few.

Now to brighten up your wintery day, and as lovers of all things luxury, we at Bicester Village and luxury travel specialists the Eden Collection, has decided to give one lucky person the chance to win a fabulously extravagant seven night trip for two to the exclusive pear shaped island. You’ll stay in a Junior Suite at the acclaimed Coral Reef Club resort, with flights, transfers, breakfast and water sports included – yes, jet skiing, water-skiing, banana rides, kayaking, catamaran sailing, and even swimming with the turtles. Ah such bliss!!!!

The Coral Reef Club is on the calm west coast of Barbados and is renowned for its twelve acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, gourmet dining, decadent spa and white-sand beaches - but be warned, you may have to do some paparazzi dodging. It’s not unusual to spot Richard E. Grant strolling to the Coral Reef Club tennis courts, racquet in hand and ready to play a match with the regulars, or you may even trip over a celeb or two dotted about on the sun loungers by the Coral Reef Club beaches.

If you’re lucky enough to win then the trip must be booked before 15 February and taken by between 01 March and 22 November 2010.
