In the heart of the Caribbean is where you will find the twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, the very definition of island paradise. Adored the world over for its pristine pink and white-sandy beaches, rainforests and all-inclusive beach resorts, Antigua is the island getaway you’ve been dreaming of. Begin your Antigua holiday in the capital St. John’s, where you can fill your days exploring historical sites, eating your body weight in seafood and venturing across to the parish of Saint Peter and its capital Parham.
If the rumours are to be believed, Antigua has no less than 365 beaches – that’s a new beach to explore every day of the year! Darkwood beach, in particular, is a dreamy spot to roll out a towel and listen to the sound of the water lapping at the shore. Water sports are big here, with plenty of water-based adventures including day-tours and self-driving inflatable Reef Riders to get out and about. If time permits, catch the ferry out to Antigua’s sister island of Barbuda and explore the protected reef, large lagoon and Frigate Bird sanctuary. We guarantee by the time you leave, you’ll be googling ‘property at Pearns Point’.
