Antigua

Through its very colourful and historical past, the Leeward Island of Antigua has become a classic Caribbean destination and a magical place on earth. From the intrepid explorer Christopher Columbus, who originally named the island Santa Maria de la Antigua, to Horatio Nelson, whose fully restored dockyard you can still view today, Antigua certainly has the history, cultural vibes and climate suitable for everyone wanting to get away from the rat race. The friendly locals will introduce you to the true "Caribbean" way of life as you sink your toes into one of the 365 palm fringed soft white sand beaches; one for everyday of the year, so they say!
