Destination
With its constant trade winds and low humidity, Antigua is the perfect Caribbean getaway. The paradise island, which measures just 14 miles long and 11 wide, is ringed by a coral reef that once served as a defence for Admiral Nelson, who established Great Britain’s Caribbean base on the island.
Over 200 years later the same unique characteristics that attracted the Royal Navy has transformed Antigua into one of the Caribbean’s premier tourist destinations.
The diving is among the finest in the world, whilst the tremendous wealth of powdery soft beaches offer seclusion for the well-heeled traveller. By night, the beach bars come alive, with the palms swaying to the beat of calypso.
