Luxury Holidays To Antigua

Its famous white sand beaches and pleasant year-round temperature are two of the main reasons to enjoy a luxury holiday to Antigua with Elegant Resorts, but it has much more to offer. For a start, the atmosphere is blissfully laid back – although there are glamorous restaurants, boutiques and casinos too, and the island’s love affair with the sea and yachting in particular is a huge attraction with Antigua Sailing Week being one of the world’s premier regattas.

For the best in cultural highlights visit St John’s with its striking cathedral and colourful markets, and Nelson’s Dockyard which was a base for the British Navy in the 18th century. And, if you want to see Antigua in full carnival swing then the annual festival at the end of July/start of August offers calypso music, steel bands and dancing.

The scenery is stunning and from Shirley Heights you can admire views as far-reaching as Montserrat and Guadeloupe, while beach-lovers should head for Half Moon Bay with its pink-hued sands. If you’re feeling more adventurous, hire a jeep for the spectacular Fig Tree Drive through lush rainforest and mango groves, passing old churches and sugar plantations. If you need to stop and ask for directions try bringing cricketing hero, Viv Richards, into the conversation and you well may find yourself with a lifelong friend!
