Destination Guide : Antigua Typically tropical
Why go on holiday to Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
Tourists are attracted to a typically tropical taste of the Caribbean.
Beach lovers are spoilt for choice with 365 glorious stretches of fine
sand - one for each day of the year. It is also a yacht-lovers' Antigua
paradise, with excellent sheltered harbours.
Sister island Barbuda has pink sand beaches, coral reefs that are still
unspoilt by motor boats, a lagoon and a sleepy, laid-back Caribbean
atmosphere.
How much does it cost to go on holiday to
Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
There is a range of accommodation in Antigua so
prices fluctuate. In general, expect a two-week package holiday to
start from about £750 on a room-only basis, or £1,100 all-inclusive.
Flights only can be found as low as £400, but expect to pay from £600.
When should I go on holiday to Caribbean
Antigua Holiday Villas?
Antigua is hot and humid year-round, although
tradewinds make it most comfortable from January to April when day
temperatures usually hover around 85F/28C. Expect rain at any time of
the year, although it is heaviest from September to November.
Hurricane season is from June to November. Carnival starts at the end
of July and finishes August 1. Antigua Sailing Week
runs for a week from the last Sunday in April.

What should I do when I'm there on holiday in Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
Laze on the beach. Swimming and diving are excellent, with coral
canyons, wall drops and sea caves along the Cades Reef and Ariadne
Shoal. Snorkelling is recommended along Paradise Reef.
Windsurfers enjoy the sheltered west Antigua coast as
well as open east coast - depending on experience. Game fishing is
popular - marlin, tuna and wahoo are all caught in Antiguan waters.
Hike around the island or join the Hash House Harriers club for a
weekly run. Enjoy a game of golf. Twitchers will love the bird
sanctuary on sister island Barbuda.
Which are the best beach resorts while
I'm on holiday in Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
The main resorts are Dickenson Bay and Runaway Bay. Both are fairly
low-key by Caribbean standards but Dickenson is the livelier of the two.
The south coast , particularly Falmouth and English Harbour, is popular
with yachties. The east coast, where the sea tends to be a bit rougher,
is the most isolated part of the island.
What if I'm bored with the beach while
on holiday in Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
Spend a day at Nelson's Dockyard, named after the British hero, who
spent time here. The 18th century harbour has been restored and is now
a fashionable yacht marina. Visit Betty's Hope - an old sugar
plantation with a fully restored sugar mill.
Rope-swing or walk the plank during a Jolly Roger cruise around the
island. Drive to the greenest part of the island with the remnants of
rainforest at Fig Tree Hill or to Devil's Bridge - a spectacular
outcrop of rocks overhanging the sea.
Take the ferry to Barbuda to sample a truly laid-back Caribbean
lifestyle on the tiny unspoiled island and see the Man 'O War birds
skimming the water.
Where else is worth a visit while I'm
on holiday in Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
In the capital, St. John's, see the cathedral, the daily market, the
museum with its Arawak village reconstruction and the harbour's
Heritage Quay shopping mall for souvenirs and places to eat.
The new Jolly Harbour resort is Antigua's own take on
LA, with modern water sports, golf, international cuisine and strange
new architectural follies such as mini Spanish castles.

Heights? Shirley some mistake

Where's good for nightlife in
Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
Shirley Heights, overlooking English Harbour, vibrates to the sound of
steel bands and reggae music every Thursday and Sunday evenings.
Milers by the Sea at Fort James, Spinnakers at Dickenson Bay and
Margaritas at Redcliffe Quay in St John's all have live music. The
Carnival in late July and early August makes the whole island vibrant,
with colourful parades and street parties.
What's the food like while on holiday
in Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
There's a good range of West Indian, French, Italian, English and North
American food. Best is fresh seafood - try the catch of the day. For
snacks try roti, large pancakes filled with curry - they're filling,
cheap and delicious.
Eat as much Caribbean fruit as you can - you will never taste anything
as good outside the region. Antigua has small black
pineapples - they look odd but taste good. Wadadli is the local lager,
and Cavalier and English Harbour are local rums.
What should I buy while on holiday in
Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
In St. John's, head for Caribelle Batiks for quality Caribbean-made
wall hangings and clothing. At Nelson's Dockyard, The Art Centre sells
local artwork, inexpensive prints, T-shirts, jewellery and other
souvenirs.
Calabash art is popular - watch for cracks as, contrary to what the
seller tells you, if the calabash is still green it will crack more as
it dries out. Harmony Hall at Nonsuch Bay has fine arts and crafts with
exhibitions of work by local artists.
Rum is a good buy everywhere on the island, both white and dark.
What is there for children to do while
on holiday in Caribbean Antigua Holiday Villas?
Kids should enjoy the Jolly Roger Cruise and Jolly Harbour's
attractions, as well as Nelson's Dockyard, Betty's Hope and
glass-bottomed cruises (don't take trips if you are encouraged to walk
on coral as it is illegal and kills the reef).
Some large all-inclusive hotels may have kids' facilities - check with
your operator as other large hotels have an expressly "adult" ambience.
