Originally established as a British settlement in the 17th century, Antigua certified its independence in 1981. Today, it is a vastly popular oasis, famed for its spectacular climate and 366 pristine beaches. St. John's is a splendid jewel on this tropical crown, boasting lush greenery and limitless recreation options. Take a hiking safari and be dazzled by the sights of the island at 1200 feet.

Named after the Dutch pirate Jost Van Dyke, this tiny island is perfect for an afternoon of serenity and privacy. Head to the beaches are at Great Harbor and White Bay and then stop for a meal at one of the town's terrific restaurants, while the local guitar player serenades you and your companions. The sailing is great from Jost Van Dyke as well.

Supposedly Norman Island was the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Explore the island and you may come home with some extra coin! Visit the Treasure Island Museum or simply relax with a drink seaside. The underwater caves and reefs make this a great diving and snorkeling location.
