Positioned where the Atlantic and Caribbean meet, Antigua and Barbuda is an independent Commonwealth country comprising of two namesake islands and several smaller ones. Most of the action can be found in Antigua, an exquisite island where luxurious yachts drift in the harbour, honeymooners frolic on the shores, adventure seekers enjoy the surf, and scuba divers discover fascinating marine life and colourful corals in the aquamarine waters. The island boasts an extraordinary number of pristine, golden beaches and a lively capital, St John’s, which is home to an impressive national museum showcasing numerous indigenous and colonial artefacts. Also worth a visit are the island’s national parks and impressive natural blowholes.
