ANTIGUA

Antigua & Barbuda nestles where the Caribbean Sea flirts with the Atlantic, a sun-soaked jewel of the Leeward Islands.

Made up of two main islands about 25 miles apart and dotted with smaller isles, this coral-born paradise dazzles with turquoise waters, powdery white sands and curious sculpted rocks.

Antigua alone boasts a beach for each day of the year—365 reasons to swim, sunbathe or try your hand at every water sport under the sky.

Beyond the shoreline, the islands pulse with a rich maritime past and a vibrant Creole spirit, a warm blend of Amerindian, West African and British influences that fills the streets with flavor and color.
