Antigua

HOLIDAYS IN ANTIGUA

This is a place for beach lovers. Find the right spot and you'll hear nothing but the sound of palm leaves moving in the breeze and the soft break of the waves. But despite the inviting beaches – one for every day of the year – there's much more to this spectacular island.

You'll notice that Antigua's sugar-making heritage has left a charming English twist on this tropical paradise. The English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard, inside the island's national park, are the best examples of this, and if you can drag yourself from your sun lounger, you'll spend hours wandering around. Stay in a beautifully restored old sugar plantation house for a real taste of Antigua's past.

Admire the sparkling white sails of the yachts congregating around the lagoons during Sailing Week, sip a cocktail at sunset from Shirley Heights Lookout and wander the candy-hued streets of the capital, St John's.

Visiting Antigua is straightforward; you can fly there direct in under 9 hours. You'll find it dotted with luxury resorts and homes of the rich and famous nestled into their own sandy bays. This beautiful destination has something for everyone, although what do you really need other than a hammock and a view of the beach?
