Luxury Antigua Holidays

  1. Overview
  2. More Information

Luxury Antigua holidays are pure bliss.  On an island with 365 beaches you could live here for a whole year and never sunbathe on the same beach twice, with secluded coves of pure pink-hued sands dissolving into waters so blue they will take your breath away. Add the fact that this stunning modern Eden also offers a cosmopolitan sophistication to satisfy the most modern of fun lovers and you'll soon discover this island has it all.

As you might expect from an island with such a strong marine tradition many events and activities take place on and in the water.  Antigua holidays are a haven for the yachting crowd who certainly know how to party, if the annual regatta in April is anything to go by.

Back on land and dispite only being 14 miles long by 11 miles wide, encompassing 108 square miles, there are some great places to visit on an Antigua holiday including Nelson's Dockyard National Park, St John's the islands capital and the legendary Shirley Heights Lookout, a restored military lookout that overlooks English and Falmouth Harbours, with panoramic views that on clear days take in Guadeloupe to the south and Montserrat. Today its home to a bar and is very popular on Sundays when a band starts playing at 3pm until the sun sets, so you have some great sounds to serenade you into the night.
