About Antigua

Antigua, a jewel of the Caribbean, boasts 365 white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush green hills steeped in colonial history. Once a haven for British naval fleets, today it’s a sun-soaked escape with a lively local culture and stunning sea views at every turn. Hotel options cover all bases—think stylish beachfront resorts in Dickenson Bay, romantic luxury in Jumby Bay, and budget-friendly picks around Jolly Harbor. English Harbor is ideal for boutique stays near the island’s historic heart. Whether it’s a family getaway or a grown-up retreat, Antigua serves up Caribbean charm with a hotel to match.

Some of our Antigua Collections:

If it’s your first visit to Antigua, base yourself in lively St John’s, the island’s capital. You’ll find a buzzing mix of cafes, bars, shops, and cultural gems like the Baroque cathedral and fascinating museums — plus nearby beaches like Runaway Beach for sunbathing and socialising. It's a great pick for travelers who enjoy vibrant city life, while those craving peace will prefer the quieter coves of the west coast or the more relaxed pace around Jolly Harbor.

For history and nautical charm, don’t miss English Harbor, once home to Nelson’s navy and now a chic yet welcoming hub with colonial-era architecture, beautiful beaches, and great snorkelling spots. Falmouth, just around the bay, offers a more laid-back scene. Families and nature lovers will enjoy the calm waters and hiking trails around St Mary, while thrill-seekers can chase the breeze at Long Island and Nonsuch Bay. Wherever you land, Antigua’s blend of beaches, history, and adventure makes it a favorite — especially during the festive season, when booking ahead is essential.
