Wherever you stay in Antigua, white sands, bright sunshine and fantastic all inclusive resorts are in abundance. If you do manage to drag yourself off the beach there are plenty of intriguing places to explore:
•
The capital city of St John's is the cosmopolitan beating heart of the island. It's a colourful place to stay, with beautiful beaches, great shops and excellent restaurants. Be sure to visit St John's Cathedral and the lively market in Heritage Quay.
• The blissful beach town of Jolly Harbour boasts a good choice of bars, shops and restaurants, as well as an 18-hole golf course and stunning marina. The white sand beach has a great range of activities for adults and children alike with a variety of excursions, from historic tours to glass bottomed boat trips leaving from the harbour.
• Dickenson Bay's stretches of beach are a magnet for watersports enthusiasts and beach lovers. The safe and calm waters here are ideal for young children. From golf, cricket and tennis to horseback riding, hiking and excursions to nearby villages, there's plenty to do here too.
Where is best for you?
If you're looking for peace, tranquillity, white sands
Dickenson Bay's uninterrupted sands or Jolly Harbour's miles of soft beach are two good choices for perfect relaxation. But for complete seclusion, explore the quiet beaches on the south coast or take a day trip to an uninhabited island.
Family fun
Antigua's safe beaches and shallow waters are perfectly suited to young families. The beach at Jolly Harbour has a great range of activities for both adults and children to enjoy. The calm, crystalline waters at Dickenson Bay are also ideal for young children. For hassle-free and fun-filled family holidays, we think Antigua's all inclusive resorts are a great option.
Nightlife and entertainment
Most hotels and holiday resorts in Antigua offer a good range of bars, clubs and casinos. Some of the best are found in St John's, English Harbour and Jolly Beach.
