Antigua Holidays

Antigua is a melting pot of stunning pristine white sandy beaches, idyllic climate, glorious sunsets, laid-back culture and crystal-clear waters. With a beach reputably for every day of the year, you will be spoilt for choice with the selection available, from large bays to small secluded coves.

The relaxed capital of St. Johns on the west coast offers a lively atmosphere with plenty of restaurants and shopping opportunities as well as a number of gorgeous beaches nearby such as Jolly Beach, Mamora Beach and Coco Beach. Nelsons Dockyard National Park in the south of the island at English Harbour is an absolute must see whilst on the island, admire the yachts and marvel at the sunsets from Shirley Heights.

Dickenson Bay is possibly the most famous beach in Antigua, located on the northwest coast, whilst nearby you can enjoy a stunning glimpse into Antigua's natural rock formation at Devils Bridge. A perfect holiday choice for lazy days on in the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands.

Things to do in Antigua

Antigua is a haven for those that love to bask in fantastic sunshine and enjoy the calming crystal waters of the Caribbean sea, however, there are a variety of things to see and do on the island if you want to experience more than just the sandy shores.

One of the most impressive views you can experience is from Shirley Heights, offering spectacular vistas across the English Harbour, this picturesque spot was named after Sir Thomas Shirley, Governor of the Leeward Islands. Perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and a BBQ, local bands also gather here to play a mixture of Caribbean and international music making this an ideal place to relax.

If you fancy an adventure that involves a bit of a hike, then a trip to Fort Berkley is a must for those that enjoy military history. Once defended by 25 canons, Fort Berkley was a crucial part of Antigua’s defence. When exploring the fort, there are several interesting monuments including the 200-year-old bomb-proof powder magazine which could hold up to 300 barrels of gunpowder.
