Antigua

There is no question why Antigua is one of the top ten honeymoon destinations with its white beaches, striking sunsets and lush landscape. The sunshine, sands and rum punches are all well-known luxuries of the area, but the island offers so much more, making it an ideal location for newlyweds wanting to relax after the stresses of wedding preparations and also have some fun together at the same time! When you are not soaking up the sunshine and sinking the cocktails try deep-sea diving or zip-wiring through the rainforests - a must for thrill-seekers. Antigua is not large, but there is plenty to do by boat, from exploring isolated coves, offshore reefs, full-on yacht racing, snorkelling, sunset cruises, visit its rainforest or explore its sister island of Barbuda 30 miles north.
