Feature Island


Regional Information

Antigua has long been famous for its tremendous maritime history, but more recently, it's become known to sun worshippers for its abundance of white sandy beaches. The same expansive, winding coastline that made Antigua difficult for outsiders to navigate is where today's visitors find a wealth of secluded, powdery beaches. The coral reefs, once the ruin of enemy ships, now attract snorkellers and divers from all over the world. And the fascinating little island Barbuda, once a scavenger's paradise because so many ships wrecked on its reefs, is now home to the Caribbean's largest rookery. Enjoy Antigua's peaceful present and make your own history at a private island resort on Antigua.
