Everything you need to know about Antigua
Antigua vacations promise 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, real sailing heritage at English Harbour, and a standout set of couples resorts. Antigua's calling card is its beaches, calm, soft and endlessly varied around the island, backed by a genuine maritime history at Nelson's Dockyard, a working Georgian naval base turned UNESCO site. The resort scene leans couples and adults-only, from Sandals to boutique hideaways, though families are well served too. It is classic Caribbean, with a low-key, upscale feel.
