Now regarded as 2009’s most chic and glamorous tourist destination of the Caribbean, the island offers holidaymakers and residents alike their very own Robinson-Crusoe retreat with miles of white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Drenched in natural beauty, with endless powder white sands, hidden coves and protected coral reefs, holidays in Antigua can be described as the ultimate Caribbean escape and are truly a beach lover’s paradise.
Antigua has experienced a recent property boom thanks to improved flights and extensive foreign investment. The country’s drawing power also lies in its tropical climate, the outstanding golf and yachting facilities on the west coast combined with the fact there are 365 beaches on the island enabling a beach for every day of the year.
