Antigua’s reputation for 365 beaches is increasingly matched by rising demand for luxury real estate, as buyers seek a quieter, low-density alternative to mass-market Caribbean destinations.

New high-end developments, particularly in Jolly Harbour on the west coast, are pushing prices higher and transforming formerly mid-market areas into upscale enclaves. Brokers say demand is being fueled by yachting access, lifestyle appeal and Antigua and Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment program, which allows qualifying property buyers to obtain citizenship.

Interest from U.S. and Canadian buyers has grown sharply since the pandemic, aided by the country’s lack of income, capital gains and wealth taxes. With new inventory finally coming on stream after years of limited construction, agents expect prices to continue climbing.

  1. So while the world tries to force the elite to pay their fair share of taxes Antigua decides to bend over backwards to offer them escape. As always we are on the wrong side of history.

  2. Anansi…Soooo u think Antigua and other Caribbean islands should say no to the revenue we can generate from these wealthy Americans because Trump said he doesn’t want us in his country right now?? America doesn’t need us we need therm…..

  3. @thus world… The region is in this predicament because it had no leaders with vision. They all went after the easy buck and the path of least resistance and made their countries vassal states of the US where Caribbean people are glorified slaves now cleaning hotel rooms, driving people, keeping their lands clean and making tourists food and serving it to them. If that’s what you aspire to then by all means keep at it, but stop the nonsense of slavery because you still are. It’s too bad the region has such a lack of intelligence and innovation. We are simply like monkeys following fashion rather doing what’s right or best for ourselves. American money isn’t everything

  5. Antigua has been a go-to for the physically wealthy since the 1950’s.
    They took some of our best beaches and built mill reef club. The Mellons, the Kennedy’s all came to vacay. Diana loved Barbuda.

  6. Well, the Well-healed do have the best lobbyists in this world, 🌎 and have always had the ears of politicians; and when these politicians eventually retire or depart from the political arena, they are well rewarded with directorship or other well renumerated positions.

    Meanwhile, manifesto promises are broken.

    Lobbyists have more global influence than the voting public. Fact!

    Why do you think workers rights have been virtually destroyed (and Unions decimated) over the last 2-3 decades.

    This is the REAL reasons the rich are getting richer, and the rest of the world is scratching around for THEIR crumbs.

    Democracy is working, but there’s now a question mark against the current growth of greed and avarice of Capitalism.

  7. Is this something to be posting in a time lke this?when visas are being banned, u ppl always trying to bring down the island more!!
