and some of the friendliest locals on earth...
Once you visit Antigua, it will become apparent why seriously wealthy celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Eric Clapton and Giorgio Armani, who can have their pick of any global destination to invest in when it comes to expanding their property profile, decided to buy holiday homes on this stunning island.
The 8 hr 50 min flight flew by quickly, although it could have also been down to our excitement for our paradise jaunt!
The first thing that struck me upon landing in Antigua was the hospitality of the warm, friendly locals whom greeted us with smiles a plenty.
In Antigua everyone is ridiculously friendly, which led me to believe that they’ve hidden anyone grumpy or antisocial far away from the tourists! That being said, I suppose I’d be smiling all day too if I lived in the land of sunshine. Here the pace here is slower, ‘island time’ as many call it, which makes for a refreshing change from the bustling pace of city life. |
From zip lining in the rainforest to snorkelling amongst the barrier reefs, to island boat tours, to water sports such as sailing, kayaking, diving or kite surfing, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Gourmands can also sign up for private cooking lessons to learn first-hand how to master cooking delectable Caribbean cuisine.
