With its endless white-sand beaches, thriving sailing culture, and delightful culinary scene, Antigua will delight all who visit.
Home to 365 beaches, ‘one for each day of the year’, Antigua is one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful islands, characterised by its long stretches of picturesque coastline, glassy turquoise Caribbean Sea, and tropical island interior. Discover the rich cultural heritage of Antigua in the capital St. John’s, where you can visit the historic Fort James, Nelson’s Dockyard, and the Antigua Rum Distillery. Mostly surrounded by fringing coral reefs, Antigua is an excellent destination for snorkelling and scuba diving; Great Bird Island is particularly ideal for snorkelling, with its marine-rich coral reefs easily accessible from the shore.
Experience more of the region’s wildlife and visit Antigua’s sister island of Barbuda, known for its untouched pink and white sand beaches, with Codrington Lagoon home to the largest frigatebird colony in the Caribbean. The island’s remote beaches are also nesting sites for Leatherback, Green, and Hawksbill Sea turtles, and humpback whales can be sighted in the water surrounding the island between April to May as they migrate north. With a regular ferry service between both islands, you can easily visit Barbuda for the day whilst on your holiday in Antigua.
Our luxury Antigua holidays are tailored to suit you, whether you’re looking for an adults-only boutique spa hotel for your Antigua honeymoon, all-inclusive resorts for your family holiday, or a luxury private villa with its own swimming pool. With activities ranging from thrilling watersports and rainforest hikes to rum tasting and dining in local restaurants, our Caribbean specialists will make sure your trip is designed to suit your interests.
The best time to visit Antigua is between December to April, when the weather is warm and at its driest. July marks the beginning of the hurricane season that runs through until November; and whilst there is a higher chance of tropical storms during this time, the weather is at its hottest with plenty of sunshine throughout the day.
