Where to stay in Antigua: Dickenson Bay, English Harbour and the west

A beach for every day and a coast for every mood. How to choose where to stay in Antigua and where to start.

Antigua rings itself with beaches, and where you base yourself sets the tone. The north-west is lively, the historic south-east is for sailing and quiet, and the west has the marina and the sunsets.

Where to stay

Dickenson Bay in the north-west is the busy, beachy hub, watersports, bars and an easy strip of sand. English Harbour and Falmouth in the south-east are the yachting and history end, Nelson’s Dockyard, calm anchorages and the Sunday party at Shirley Heights. Jolly Harbour on the west coast has a marina and long beaches, and the far corners keep things quiet. Choose the north for life, the south-east for sailing and story.

Where to start

Before you go

Sailing season around English Harbour is busy and books ahead, so plan for it. The number on each page is the property’s own.
