"History's Haven, Caribbean Delight"

The white-sand beaches and turquoise waters of Antigua create a tropical haven, while Barbuda's unspoiled landscapes provide a tranquil escape. The historic Nelson's Dockyard and Shirley Heights offer a glimpse into the nation's maritime past. Antigua and Barbuda's festivals, like Antigua Sailing Week, blend maritime traditions with Caribbean flair. With its charming atmosphere and natural beauty, this twin-island nation is a Caribbean dream come true.

Best time to visit Antigua and Barbuda

The best time to visit Antigua is srpring and early summer, typically from December to April. The weather is warm and sunny during these months, with temperatures ranging from 24°C to 29°C. This period offers ideal conditions for beach vacations, Tropical getaways, and outdoor activities like windsurfing, sailing, and kite surfing. This is also peak season resulting in higher accommodation rates and larger crowds. 

For those seeking a quieter experience with fewer tourists, the shoulder seasons of May to November, despite being the wet season, can still offer pleasant weather and discounted prices, albeit with a higher chance of rain showers and occasional tropical storms.  from September to November, may not be the ideal time due to cooler temperatures and higher rainfall.
