Located in the middle of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean, this is an island of tropical rainforests, scenic peaks and beautiful beaches – 365 of them to be precise, one for each day of the year. Antigua’s winding coastline attracts beach-lovers, snorkelers, and divers from all over the world, and its warm, steady winds, safe harbours and protective wall of coral reef entice participants and spectators to the renowned annual Sailing Week in April.

Antigua has experienced a recent property boom thanks to improved flights and extensive foreign investment. Furthermore, the vibrant culture, excellent restaurants and nightlife, and the variety of tours and excursions have resulted in the island becoming renowned as one of the top holiday and vacation destinations in the world.

Jeff Hadeed, a developer on the island for South Point, a boutique residence hotel comments, “The tourist market in Antigua is really taking off due to the stunning beaches, the fantastic weather and the wealth of activities on offer. In turn this has fuelled demand from second home buyers and investors looking to purchase an island getaway as prices here represent excellent value for money when compared to other places in the Caribbean”.
