Antigua & Barbuda

Fiercely protected by a ring of coral. One look and you’ll know why.

From among endless, unbroken stretches of beach, ancient shipwrecks and unbroken rings of coral, Antigua and Barbuda beckon. These twin islands share a wealth of adventures and hideaways that will embrace and envelop you in sights and sounds that will be impossible to escape. From the birdwatcher’s paradise on Barbuda to the people-watching at Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua, one of the best ways to pass an afternoon here is by interacting with the locals. The people on these islands are what differentiate them from the other paradises in the Caribbean. Warm, hospitable and willing to share insider knowledge. And as any local will tell you, the best thing to do on these islands is to spend time in the water around them. From snorkeling among the shipwrecks of Cades Reef or Deep Bay to keeping the constant trade winds at your back as you sail, here more than anywhere else, life f lourishes in the water.
