With 365 beaches dotted around the coastline, it is often said that there is one beach for every day of the year in Antigua. While it would be glorious to spend every day of the year exploring a new beach of the island of Antigua, that is an unrealistic time frame to be spent vacationing anywhere in the world. If you are planning a luxury getaway trip to Antigua, and are wondering how much time you need to ensure you are able to maximize your holiday on the island, we can recommend on average three to five days. Of course, this is dependent on many other factors including your budget, what activities you would like to do on your vacation, the goal of your vacation, and the time of year you are traveling to Antigua.
What is there to do in Antigua?
There is no shortage of activities and destinations in Antigua that can keep you busy for the duration of your vacation: stepping outside your luxury villa in Antigua offers endless possibilities. Want to enjoy the warm waters of the Caribbean sea? A day spent snorkelling off one of the white sandy beaches of Antigua is a great way to immerse yourself into a Caribbean holiday. You can hire kayaks, jet skis and boats from many different outlets, or you can charter a private boat to take you off the shore where you may even encounter some local wildlife on your trip. To ensure you do encounter some wild life, the Stingray & Snorkel tour by Stingray City is a unique activity to try in Antigua where you can exclusively interact with stingrays in their natural habitat. Your resort concierge can help you with arranging bookings.
From the water to the sky above, if adrenaline is what you seek, the Rainforest Canopy Zipline is a must do activity while in Antigua. Soar through the treetops exploring the dense rainforest to get a different perspective of Antigua. Treetops not high enough for you? Then a helicopter tour around Antigua gives you the opportunity to see Antigua from well above.
If you’re ready to get active on your vacation, a day spent exploring the historic Nelson’s Dockyard and the surrounding hiking trails is for you. Open daily from 8am to 6pm, you can hike to the iconic Shirley Heights Lookout. There is lots to see, do and explore at the cultural heritage site of Nelson’s Dockyard filled with restored 18th and 19th Century buildings that are now used for shops, businesses, art galleries and hotels.
If relaxing is more your idea of a luxury getaway, then enjoying a cocktail at a beach bar could be a great way to spend a day in Antigua. Feel the sand between your toes as you sip on a famous Antiguan rum punch while soaking up the salty air on the beach. With an abundance of bars and restaurants around the island to choose from, you can spend much of your vacation sampling flavors of the Caribbean from local vendors.
Perhaps you would rather do nothing at all, and take some time to completely relax on your holiday. In this case, you are best to book yourself into a luxury beachfront villa where you can spend your days lazing by your private infinity edge pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
