Antigua, like Anguilla, is one of those sun-soaked Caribbean islands offering plenty to do for such a small place. Before it was colonized, it had the Arawak name of Yarumaqui. Some locals today refer to it as Wadadli, a variation of what the Carib people called it, Waladi, many moons ago.

Antigua’s immediate neighbors are Barbuda and the rock island of Redonda, and a little further away are St. Kitts and Nevis, Guadeloupe and Dominica.

American Airlines, Jet Blue, United Airlines and Delta offer direct flights to Antigua from select US cities including New York, Newark and Miami.
