Antigua and Barbuda: Family Holiday

Antigua is a great family holiday destination. There are wonderful white sandy beaches, warm clear waters for safe bathing especially on the north west coasts and hotels and resorts which specifically cater for families with young and older children. Water sports such as sailing, kayaking and pedlos will appeal to the whole family. The hotel beaches and hotel pools are patrolled during the day until sunset so there are no worries leaving the younger children to play in the pools.

Many hotels and resorts in Antigua offer many amenities for mums and dads such as tennis, fitness centres and spas and supervised kids clubs for the younger ones. Baby sitting services are available. Apart from the beaches and hotels Antigua offers many more attractions for the family. ECO tours by boat to the islands and to the marine parks are great ways for the whole family to enjoy. The Zipline Canopy Tour suspended by cable through the canopy of the rainforest run by Eli Fuller is another must do for the family. Stingray City where you can swim with the stingrays is an unusual family attraction. Restaurants, cafes and outside eateries have cuisine which will appeal for families. Children will enjoy the delicious desserts and fresh fruit drinks.
