Book Antigua hotels

The island twins Antigua and Barbuda are known affectionately as “The Land of 365 Beaches”. That’s a lot of beaches for two small islands floating between the Atlantic and the Caribbean, but we believe in your ability to sunbathe and snorkel like the renegade traveller that you are.

Things to Do in Antigua

If you want to go from jet-way to fun way, start your adventure in St John’s. By “adventure”, we mean “absolutely chill and lazy itinerary”, but tomato, tomahto, #amirite? On the northwest coast, St John is the historic capital where the beach scene hasn’t quite buried 18th-century ruins in golden sand. Fort Barrington stands at the edge of the water, and kept French invaders at bay for centuries. Who wouldn’t want to get in on this?

Over on the east side of Antigua, English Harbour is where it’s at. Hike through the hills and stuff your face with Creole seafood stew and jerk chicken in the Shirley Heights neighbourhood, and spend an arvo with Lord Nelson at the preserved Admiral’s House Museum. No, you can’t snuggle up in the admiral’s four-poster bed, but there are plenty luxey hotels in Antigua that you’ll like even better. Before you get any ideas about sleeping, opt for an adrenaline boost instead and walk the Devil’s Bridge, a rock formation flanked with crashing waves.

Getting To & Around Antigua

Touch down at V.C. Bird International Airport (ANU), located about 9km east of downtown St John’s. Taxis are the easiest way to travel the island, so practice whistling.
