Antigua is one of the two major islands that make up the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda. Known for its reefs and beaches, Antigua is known to be a favorite destination for yachters. With luxurious villas and exclusive resorts, the island is an attraction to travelers looking to find paradise along white-sand beaches and crystal shores. Tour the historic buildings of Nelson’s Dockyard National Park or listen to the steel pans that play at Shirley Heights. Whatever your desire, find relaxation and luxury in what our experts can plan for you.
Yes! Brownell highly recommends Antigua for the traveler that loves water sports and beaches. With 365 beaches, Antigua is the top spot in the Caribbean for water enthusiasts.
Antigua is extremely lush with green mountains and has a traditional Caribbean vibe. It can be quieter with the less hustle and bustle as some of the other islands. There are no high-rise hotels, as is the case with some of the other Caribbean islands.
Aside from all of the gorgeous hotel and resort offerings, we highly recommend visiting Shirley Heights on Sunday evenings. Enjoy a scenic drive to a huge bluff overlooking the island and water. On Sundays, enjoy live music, a big cookout, and bar. There is also a brand-new zip line course on the island.
