Antigua & Barbuda welcomes you

When visiting a new country, whether on holiday, business or because you’ve chosen it to make your new home, there are so many different sights and sounds to enjoy and soak up. As some of the most beautiful islands in the world, Antigua & Barbuda certainly don’t disappoint in the looks department with their magnificent white-sand beaches, lush vegetation and azure seas. The sound of the ever-present trade winds blowing softly through the palm trees, the gentle waves breaking on the shore, or the unforgettable melody of the Antiguan night will stay with you forever. But as well as the incredible sights and sounds, another sense will certainly be stimulated during your time in the twin islands, your taste.

Whether it is the freshly caught, juicy lobster for dinner in your luxury hotel, one of the richly seasoned national dishes sampled in one of the numerous rustic beach bars, or one of the moreish rum cocktails prepared by a maestro mixologist at your resort, you can be sure that you won’t be disappointed with the delectable food and drink available on the islands.

Although the exotic food may transport you to another world, Antigua & Barbuda is only a short flight to major business centres in North America and only eight hours to the UK. You can build up an appetite by enjoying one of the islands’ many activities. Whether it’s kitesurfing and other water sports on the translucent waters of the Caribbean, sailing in some of the best conditions in the world, or taking in a round of golf, you certainly won’t be bored.

Rum lovers can visit the Caribbean’s most legendary rum shop, learn about the infamous history of the drink in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Nelson’s Dockyard or visit Betty’s Hope, one of the former plantations, where enslaved Africans were used to cultivate the sugar from which the rum was produced.

For those that choose the islands as their new home, world-class educational facilities, banking, and communications make living in paradise easy and comfortable. And of course, don’t forget the great restaurants found all over!

Antigua & Barbuda’s CBI programme is one of the best in the Caribbean and is in the top five of the Professional Wealth Management’s CBI 2021 Index carried out by the International Financial Times Group. Citizenship to the islands allows visa-free travel to 165 jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK and Schengen area.
