So, you’re in the market for an island vacation—a trip that focuses on rest and relaxation. Beach time, drinks (preferably served to you in the crystal clear ocean), delicious food with a local flair, and views that look straight out of a postcard. There are obvious tourist-friendly islands to check out (read: Aruba, the Maldives, St. Barths), but perhaps one of the best gems in the eastern Caribbean is Antigua, a country located in the West Indies.
Known for its gorgeous beaches (there are a grand total of 365 to check out), perfect weather (it’s known for little rain, low humidity, and sunny skies), rich coral reefs, and famed sailing culture, Antigua is an ideal destination for a honeymoon, girls trip, or solo Eat, Pray, Love-esque restorative getaway. You can stay on the main island in a number of gorgeous beach-side resorts, or check into Jumby Bay Island, an uber-luxurious private island with five-star service, unmatched views, and a spa that fuels escapism. For an idea on what to do, where to say, and what to eat, read ahead.
