Antigua honeymoons

Antigua is the quintessential Caribbean island; white powder beaches bordered with swaying palm trees, crystal clear waters, secluded coves and quaint ports.

Spend  your days by the pool, don a snorkelling mask and wade into the sparkling reef-filled waters of the Caribbean Sea, settle down for a candlelit dinner with the gentle sound of the ocean waves providing the perfect soundtrack. As far as honeymoon destinations go, Antigua is one of our favourites.

Antigua still bears close links to its colonial past and few locations on the island better encapsulate its British roots than the enchanting English Harbour on its southern tip. Take a romantic stroll along the harbour front or follow one of the nature trails to key observation points in the hills, before returning to one of the many atmospheric restaurants dotted around the historic district.

The eclectic blend of colonial heritage and the stunning natural beauty of this  West Indies' island make it the ideal honeymoon destination, thanks in part to the elegant resorts which line the white sand beach-fringed coastline.

On the north-western part of the island, the wonderfully secluded Galley Bay Resort & Spa offers up a slice of paradise for honeymooning couples. Savour the privacy of the luxury Taihitian-style cottages located in the resort's lush gardens, complete with your own plunge pool. You can also spend your days soaking up the sun on the gorgeous palm-edged beachfront, lounging by the pool or sipping a cocktail on the boardwalk as the suns sets over the secluded bay. 

For a honeymoon with its fair share of thrills and adventures, The Verandah Resort & Spa has  everything from kayaking to mini-golf. Explore the warm waters that wash onto the secluded Lovers Beach, either by indulging in a spot of snorkelling in the sheltered cove, or kayaking along the bay's idyllic coastline.

On the northern tip of the island, Blue Waters & The Cove Suites promises to sweep you off your feet from the moment you arrive. From the personalised mini bar that awaits you in your suite to the irresistible infinity pools which overlook the captivating azure waters of the Caribbean Sea, you'll instantly feel at ease. Make yourselves at home in the resort's vibrant gardens, enjoy a couples’ sailing lesson or learn about the flavours of Caribbean food in an exclusive cooking class.
