Antigua

Antigua

There are not many holiday destinations where they can boast 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. That’s the marketing line Antigua has used for years to highlight just what of an island paradise it really is. You can see why its so popular with the British, having a perfect mix of hideaway and character.

Having travelled to Antigua for our own holiday, it really can only be seen to be believed. Different to Barbados in the sense that most of the hotels can be found in their own coves (and very nice they are too, some all-inclusive, some with amazing spas and others fulfilling those who love boutique hotels), with the exception of English Harbour.

If you’re around at the right time, a visit to Shirley Heights is a must (and very easy if you’re staying at The Inn, its just a walk up the road if you’re feeling energetic). It has the most amazing views over the beautiful English Harbour and out to sea.
