Antigua

What draws most people to Antigua is the easy Caribbean vibe, the warmth of the people and the spectacular coastline, famed for having a beach for every day of the year. It is indeed the archetypal Caribbean paradise complete with white sands, swaying palms and a crystal clear sea. However, the island offers so much more than that.

Antigua has a rich history beginning with its discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1493. For many years, Antigua was a British Colony and reminders of this still exist today; stately architecture, historical ruins, quaint villages with cobbled streets and traditions of polo and high tea. What’s more, they still drive on the left side of the road, making exploring these treasures an easy feat.

The trade winds of Antigua, instrumental in the success of the British Colonists, attract a different crowd today. Sailors of all types, from enthusiastic beginners to dedicated yachtsmen are to be found here. Of course, those seeking a more relaxed way to enjoy the ocean may prefer a boat trip. Perhaps, your interests lay beneath the sea, where sunken coral reefs entice snorkelling and diving enthusiasts.
