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.

Essential info for Canadian travellers

  • Passport: A valid Canadian passport is all you need to enter Antigua and Barbuda — no visa is required for stays up to six months.

  • Arrival declaration: Complete the free online immigration and customs declaration before you fly to speed up arrival at V.C. Bird International.

  • Travel insurance: Provincial health plans do not cover medical care in Antigua. Comprehensive travel insurance is essential.

  • Power & plugs: Antigua uses a mix of 110V and 230V at 60Hz with Type A/B (US-style) and Type G (UK-style) sockets — most resorts offer both.

  • Time zone: Antigua runs on Atlantic Standard Time (AST) — one hour ahead of Toronto in winter, and it does not observe daylight saving.
