Meet the island
Antigua suits a trip with plenty of time on the beach and the water. Choose a base, then add a harbour visit or a sailing trip for a different view of the island.
We suggest 5–8 nights. A visit to Barbuda requires its own transport and accommodation decisions; do not treat the two islands as a single hotel area.
Compare coastal settings and find the atmosphere you want.
Mix beach days with a visit to the harbour area.
Check the boat, meeting point and weather cancellation policy.
Find your base
Compare bays and accommodation by location and access. Check whether restaurants and activities are close by or need additional transport.
TAKE IT WITH YOU
Keep the island essentials close, even when you are offline.
