family holidays in Antigua

Please find below a selection of our favourite properties in Antigua that we believe are perfect for families. For more information about Antigua and the full collection of properties we recommend click here.

The claim that Antigua has 365 beaches – one for each day of the year – may contain a grain of poetic licence, but you would certainly need more than a two or three week luxury holiday in Antigua to try them all out. Located at the heart of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean, Antigua is not just about beaches. Steeped in naval history, picturesque English Harbour – setting of Clarence House and Nelson's Dockyard – was a major Royal Navy station in the Napoleonic Wars and adds an intriguingly familiar appeal to an island of simple but undeniable charm. 

A luxury holiday in Antigua with Abercrombie & Kent brings you closer to the people and places that make the island special, thanks to our unique local knowledge and contacts.
