ANTIGUA IN A NUTSHELL
Historical forts, sugar mills, museums and harbours may not sound like your idea of a tropical holiday destination but, put them together on a Caribbean island along with 365 sweeping white sand beaches and coves and you have Antigua, otherwise known as the "Heart of the Caribbean". There's no doubt that the beaches on both Antigua and Barbuda are truly spectacular but we think you'll also love the opportunity to explore the island's other places of interest, many of which are closely linked with our own British history. An added attraction for 2004 is the West Indies v England 4th Test from 10-14 April inclusive.
CARIBTOURS' PERSONAL VIEW
A highlight for Gemma is the Sunday night "jump-up" on Shirley Heights – "watch the beautiful sunset while listening to steel pan music before a delicious barbecue and party time to a local reggae band." Sally adds: "The beaches are the main attraction but I would recommend at least a day trip to Barbuda to see the amazing frigate bird sanctuary"
DID YOU KNOW...?
Fig Tree Drive is in fact named after the banana trees – Antiguans call bananas ‘figs’. If an Antiguan says to you "later will be greater" he or she means "good-bye".
The famous St James's Club is a large resort set in 100 acres with a wide range of facilities.
The well-equipped villas are highly recommended for families, offering the opportunity to enjoy a spacious and private ‘home from home’, complemented by the many amenities and activities within the resort and with two shelving, sandy beaches moments away.
