It may be tempting to stay within the walls of your gorgeous hotel resort, but Antigua has so much to offer. Don your explorer’s hat for the day and discover a world of cultural sights around the island, from the rich history of Nelson’s Dockyard National Park to the picturesque views from Shirley Heights Lookout, and the dramatic scenery of Devil’s Bridge to the rustic ruins of Betty’s Hope, the attractions in Antigua will have you captivated.

This small but mighty island is warm in more ways than one. Its friendly and welcoming locals will make you feel right at home, making this a destination for everyone. Our luxury collection of family-friendly hotels and romantic resorts for couples are all situated less than 25 minutes’ drive from VC Bird International Airport, so your tropical dream begins almost as soon as you touch down.

Antigua in a Nutshell

A typical day in Antigua is easily spent chilling out by the sea. This small island stretches far and wide, boasting hundreds of picture-perfect beaches with calm, lucent waters accompanied by sugar-soft white and pink sands. Plus, every beach on the island is accessible and open to the public!

Dickenson Bay is the top choice if you’re keen on trying out some exciting water sports and living that active beachfront resort experience. Spanning over a mile in length, this well-facilitated beach offers an action-packed spot, bountiful with restaurants, bars, pop-up food trucks, and loads of activities for an energetic day.

For secluded luxury and a more serene environment for swimming and sunning, head to Pigeon Point, Half Moon Bay or Fort James Beach—the latter being a wonderful option if you’re visiting the island on a cruise as it’s only a couple of miles from the port in St. John. Half Moon Bay is considered by many as Antigua’s best beach, with its crescent shape, ethereal white sands, and bright turquoise waters, this is the definitive Caribbean vision.

OJ’s Bar on Crab Hill Beach offers an authentic Caribbean setting with laid-back vibes and true island flavours. This popular haunt features freshly prepared, made-to-order dishes using locally sourced ingredients, where guests can chat with OJ himself while waiting. Specialising in seafood, the red snapper with seasoned rice is a must; wash it down with a warming cinnamon-scented rum punch and you’re onto a winner!

St. John’s town centre is where you’ll discover even more local flavours such as at the famous Roti King, the island’s ultimate fast-food restaurant taking Caribbean street food to new heights—you know it’s a hit when the locals flock here too! Specialising in succulently filled rotis, choose a filling of chicken, beef or fish and get ready for a taste sensation!

Beyond the colourful streets amid five-star resort hotels, you’ll uncover many stunning fine dining options. Venture to The Tamarind Tree at Curtain Bluff Resort on the island’s southern side, which serves a five-star gastronomical experience like no other. Indulge in its five-course menu, which changes nightly, and watch the waves gently caress the shore while listening to silky live music.

Sheer Rocks Restaurant Bar Lounge is suspended on the edge of a bluff overlooking Ffryes Bay. With uninterrupted sunsets, enjoy an exquisite fine dining experience surrounded by vibrant bougainvillea-covered pavilions.

Shirley Heights is a must-see both day and at night. High above the harbour, visitors are mesmerised by gorgeous views, stretching out to neighbouring islands Montserrat and Guadeloupe. And on Sunday evenings, Shirley Heights comes to life with a live band and freshly grilled BBQ food.

Nelson’s Dockyard, located within Antigua’s beautiful National Park, is well worth the visit. Absorb rich cultural history and beautiful scenery with an eye-opening walking tour around the colonial architecture of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

frequently asked questions

Antigua boasts a wealth of activities, and not just beach-based! There’s much to explore on land from UNESCO World Heritage Sites and off-road buggy adventures to zip-wiring through the rainforest and horse riding along the beach. If the water is calling you, take to a jet-ski, kayak or paddleboard, and set sail on a romantic catamaran tour to explore Antigua’s sister island, Barbuda, or discover secluded offshore islands beyond.
Like most of the Caribbean Islands, Antigua doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time, so its time remains unchanged throughout the year. During British Summer Time (BST) Antigua is 5 hours behind the UK, and in the winter when the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), the island is just 4 hours behind.
Antigua has excellent year-round weather, but the best time to visit is during peak season between mid-December to mid-April. This dry period offers superb weather, warm ocean temperatures, and very low rainfall, making it comfortable for both swimming and exploring the island.
