Luxury Antigua Holidays

Whisk yourself away to a perfect Caribbean paradise with a luxury escape to Antigua.  This is a beach lover's dream, where warm waters gently caress pristine white sands, and the biggest decisions you will need to make each day are where to position your sun lounger, and what cocktail to enjoy while you soak up those rays. Pure heaven.

PERFECT WHITE SANDS AND SAILING INTO CARIBBEAN SUNSETS

If you are searching for your Caribbean dream, you will find it here on Antigua.  Measuring just 14 miles long and 11 miles wide, this idyllic island is what luxury beach escapes were invented for.  Though small, Antigua has 365 beaches in total!  That is a different beach for every day of the year if you choose!  And if you don’t have that long, we will direct you to the very best ones. 

No matter what you love to do on the beach – sunbathing, splashing in the shallows with your children, sipping a cocktail in a lively beach bar, a thrilling ride on a jet ski, or snorkeling amongst tropical marine life – there is a beach in Antigua where you can experience it all.

Dickenson Bay is said to be one of Antigua’s most beautiful beaches with a mile of soft, powdery sand sloping oh-so-gently into the deliciously warm Caribbean Sea. The reef offers perfect protection from the elements while cool breezes keep you cool, and green palm trees offer shade for an afternoon snooze if you need a siesta.

Pigeon Beach is popular with young families thanks to its shallow, protected waters and the sea grape trees which offer protection from the bright sunshine.

Head to the western facing Jolly Beach for one of the best sunsets on Antigua, a perfectly romantic spot for a proposal under the dazzling sinking sun perhaps?

Away from the beach there are plenty of opportunities for shopping at Heritage Quays, and we recommend a visit to the capital of St Johns with its busy farmer’s market, and Nelson’s Dockyard National Park – a former Georgian naval base where you can immerse yourself in the island’s rich nautical history.
