Antigua and Barbuda has earned international recognition as one of the Caribbean’s most family-friendly destinations, following a feature in The Sunday Times that praised its balance of luxury, relaxation and child-focused activities.
The publication, under the headline “This Caribbean island is perfect for families,” highlighted Antigua’s laid-back resorts, world-class kids’ clubs, and warm turquoise waters, describing the island as a “crowd-pleaser” with something for every member of the family.
The article emphasised Antigua’s famed 365 beaches — “a beach for every day of the year” — and its safe, shallow waters that allow children to explore with ease. From bracelet-making workshops and reggae dance sessions to turtle-watching excursions, resorts such as Carlisle Bay and Blue Waters were praised for catering to both children and adults.
While youngsters joined activities at kids’ clubs, parents were afforded time for yoga, spa treatments and sun-lounging. The feature also pointed to the island’s rich marine life, with families enjoying encounters with hawksbill turtles, stingrays and parrotfish during boat trips and snorkelling excursions.
Beyond the beach, the article noted Antigua’s cultural and historical offerings, including Nelson’s Dockyard, the 18th-century Georgian naval base and UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Shirley Heights, where steel bands and sunset barbecues create one of the island’s most famous experiences.
Road trips through colourful villages, stops at local fruit stalls and visits to Catherine’s Café in English Harbour were also recommended as highlights for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the island’s vibrant character.
The feature underscored Antigua’s appeal to celebrities, with the likes of Eric Clapton, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan and Robert De Niro all associated with the island. Barbuda, Antigua’s sister island, was spotlighted for its pristine beauty and luxury offerings, including De Niro’s Nobu Hotel.
Antigua and Barbuda’s inclusion in The Sunday Times reflects its growing profile as a premier destination for families seeking both relaxation and adventure. With direct flights from the UK and an array of family-oriented resorts, the island continues to cement its reputation as a leading choice for holidaymakers.
