THE FACTS ABOUT ANTIGUA

Antigua

With 365 stunning beaches (yes, that's one for each day of the year), beautiful resorts and a relaxed atmosphere, Antigua is the Caribbean island of choice for travellers who'd like to top up their tans before the European summer season. Stay at the Hermitage Bay, which opened just over two years ago, or One Aldwych's sister hotel Carlisle Bay, and use your time to explore the English Harbour (where Lord Nelson spent time as a young captain), the fortifications of Shirley Heights above the harbour, and the capital, St. Johns, where you should head straight for the rebuilt old town.
