Area Description

Located in the Leeward Islands of the West Indies, Antigua offers a beautiful island location with 365 palm-fringed beaches. The year round average temperature ranges from 25-32C and cooling trade winds and calm waters create the ideal setting for sheer relaxation and an endless choice of water sports. If you are able to drag yourself away from the beach, experiencing some of Antigua's other attractions is well worth the effort.

Enjoy a stroll through the lovely English Harbour brimming with stylish yachts to Nelsons Dockyard. This former colonial naval base was visited by Lord Nelson in the 18th Century and today boasts beautifully restored colonial buildings. A highlight of any holiday to Antigua is visiting Shirley Heights at sunset; upon reaching the summit, you are rewarded with incredible island views against a backdrop of a true Caribbean sunset. Antigua's pristine beaches, laid back atmosphere and charming culture offer the perfect location for a villa holiday.
