This time last year I was planning my trip to Antigua with my friend C. We spent ten days on the magical Caribbean island of Antigua, with a day trip to the paradise of Barbuda, a helicopter over neighbouring island Montserrat, and a close encounter with stringrays! Antigua was the very first Caribbean island I visited when I was seven years old, and I loved going back. After you guys loved my 15 Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Scotland post so much, I thought I’d do another…so today I bring you the 15 Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Antigua!
Just to give you a little background on my trip to Antigua, after my press trip with Elite Island Resorts to Palm Island in the Grenadines in 2015, the lovely Karen Tippett – my fave PR ever FYI, she’s the loveliest person and super considerate of what us bloggers need from a press trip in order to create high quality and honest content – asked me if I’d like to review two hotels from the Elite Island Resorts group; St James’s Club Antigua, and Galley Bay Antigua. Of course I said yes, and pretty soon C and I were planning excursions, blog posts, photos, and outfits!
I loved Antigua so much and we did and saw so much that I ended up writing heaps of blog posts. I think I did nine in the end including the two hotel reviews? Eeek! Anyway, without further ado, here are 15 photos that will make you want to book a holiday to Antigua ASAP…
