Antigua
Antigua, a jewel of the Caribbean, is a dream destination where turquoise waters meet powdery white sands and a laid-back island spirit welcomes every traveller. With 365 stunning beaches – one for every day of the year – Antigua is the ultimate escape for sunseekers, couples, and families alike. Beyond its idyllic shores, the island boasts a rich history and vibrant culture, from the colourful colonial charm of St. John's to the historic Nelson’s Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Adventurers can enjoy snorkelling through coral reefs, sailing in the island’s calm waters, or hiking the lush green hills for breathtaking views. Food lovers will be spoilt for choice with fresh seafood and Caribbean flavours served with warm island hospitality. Whether you're unwinding at a luxury resort, exploring hidden coves, or dancing to the rhythm of steel drums at a local festival, Antigua offers an unforgettable blend of relaxation, discovery, and tropical beauty that will leave you longing to return.
Blue Waters Resort & Spa
We’ve always been huge fans of Blue Waters, but don’t just take it from us: this wonderful, family-run resort received the royal seal of approval in 2016, when Prince Harry stayed here during his tour of the Caribbean. Set in 17 acres of gardens on a secluded cove, at Blue Waters you’ll find yourself instantly relaxing into the resort’s elegant, Caribbean ambiance. You can also escape for some much-deserved pampering at the resort’s heavenly spa, which recently introduced a series of rejuvenating face and body treatments thanks to a new partnership with ila Spa.
