Antiqua & Barbuda - relaxation at it’s finest.
Antiqua, and its sister island, Barbuda, is consider the "twin-island paradise." Best known for amazing climate, crystal clear waters, pink and white-sandy beaches, and warm, welcoming people. It's known for its superb coastline--all 95 miles--and Barbuda--just a 90-minute ferry ride away, boasts protective reefs, and a Frigate Bird sanctuary.
Whether you'd prefer to do nothing but lie near the clear Caribbean waters and listen to the relaxing sound of the waves on one of the Antiqua's 365 beaches, choose to attend Carnival (July 25 - August 6, 2024), swim with the stingrays at the outdoor aquarium, enjoy a romantic sunset catamaran sailing or spend a day exploring Barbuda or an off-shore island, there's something for everyone.
Robert De Niro discovered Barbuda's charms 30 years ago. Currently, he's building a luxury hotel, Barbuda Belle Luxury Beach Hotel. This is his second commercial endeavor with his first being the Nobu Barbuda, a Japanese-Peruvian restaurant. It's located on the Princess Diana Beach--she loved the island and vacationed there frequently. Lastly, he and his team are in the midst of creating new accommodations scheduled to open in 2025--the Nobu Beach Inn with two- and three-bedroom bungalows, each with its own private pool and most with direct beach access. “This project holds a special place in my heart,” he told T+L. “I want it to be that memorable destination that people come back to year after year.”
Other items to note would be, voted #1 in honeymoon destinations, they embrace pickle ball players and groups in many resorts, and for the history buffs, they can visit Nelson's Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
