Antigua Holidays

Antigua is said to have 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, making it ideal for luxury holidays. We haven't counted them, but you'll be spoilt for choice with pretty scalloped coves and wondrous deserted stretches, pounding surf and artful driftwood. Antigua has a maritime heritage going back to Nelson's day and still has some of the best sailing in the Caribbean. You can exchange fishy tales in the famed yachties' bars and don't forget the Sunday party at Shirley Heights - the whole island of Antigua is invited!
