Antigua is the Caribbean at its most cinematic, with sky-blue seas lapping at powder-soft shores. Antigua and Barbuda should be at the very top of your travel list. With 365 beaches - one for every day of the year - this is an island made for laid-back indulgence. Mornings are for Pilates before the beach, afternoons for rum punch at the beach club, and evenings for sushi as the sun sets.
Beyond the beaches, the island hums with energy: carnivals to kick off summer, Antigua Sailing Week draws international crowds each April, and Nelson’s Dockyard - a UNESCO World Heritage site - carries centuries of maritime history.
