Antigua/Barbuda is rated the number 13 best Caribbean Vacation destination by Trip Advisor. Antigua/Barbuda is a two island nation surrounded by numerous smaller islands. If you are looking for a Caribbean island vacation with plenty of beautiful uncrowded beaches, Antigua/Barbuda could just be the place for you as it is known as the place of 365 beaches, you could literally visit a different beach every day of the year.

The British originally settled on Barbuda in 1632. Antigua/Barbuda gained independance from the U.K. in 1981 and is now a fully self governing nation. Between the two islands the population is just over 70,000.

As would be expected, tourism is the top industry, Antigua in particular being known for their many posh resorts. As with some other Caribbean island nations such as the Cayman Islands and Bahamas, Antigua/Barbuda is also known for their international banking services.



Antigua/Barbuda still retain much of their British flavor in the culture and past-times like Crickett which is popular there. Of the two islands, Antigua is more populated and developed more for tourism. These islands are consistently ranked as the best Caribbean islands for weddings.
