Antigua holidays

About Antigua

A holiday to Antigua is the perfect way to experience the Caribbean's best beaches, historic harbours and sun-drenched scenery. From secluded coves to lounger-lined sweeps, the island's coast is peppered with 365 strips of champagne-coloured sand, and a colonial footprint of 17th-century British settlers can be seen in the form of sea-facing forts and retired cannons. The locals are passionate about cricket, and the island is home to one of the game's all-time greats, Sir Viv Richards. Meanwhile, sailing is the main event in the south, with thousands of spectators gathering every year for the Antigua Sailing Week.
