About Antigua, Antigua
Antigua, land of 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, is famous for its sailing, its picturesque historical forts, and cricket. Antigua Sailing Week, one of the top rated regattas in the world, is held each year in early May and attracts hundreds of boats from around the world. English Harbour in Antigua was the home base of the British Navy under the direction of Admiral Horatio Nelson and today Nelson’s Dockyard is a prime historical landmark and the home for yachts visiting the island. Antigua’s other major passion is cricket and the Antigua Recreation Ground has been the site of many record-breaking feats in international cricket.
Getting to Antigua is very easy as it is the main hub for airlines servicing the northern Caribbean. You can also cruise into their fine facilities at Heritage Quay and Redcliffe Quay, or sail into Jolly Harbour where there are berths for over 100 yachts and a spectacular complex including casino, shops, an 18-hole golf course and waterfront villas.
Accommodations in Antigua range from luxurious resorts like Jolly Beach, Sandals and the Royal Antiguan to more intimate hotels, apartments and inns. The island is a favourite location for weddings and honeymoons, and many hotels will make all arrangements on your behalf.
Of course any activity on the sea is easy in Antigua: snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, scuba diving, fun cruises and more. When you are tired of the water, take a walk through the capital of St. John’s where a variety of duty-free shopping opportunities await you. Then explore the inland ruggedness of the island with a safari tour, or visit one of its historic sites such as Shirley Heights, the former home of the General Shirley, Governor of the island from 1781. For fantastic views of marine and bird life, visit Antigua’s sister island of Barbuda, which can be reached by catamaran, or by 10 minutes travel by air.
Dining options range from casual waterfront bistros to more upmarket restaurants for international cuisine in locations featuring spectacular views of the islands coastline.
Antigua – a perfect location to relax and unwind.
