Welcome to Antigua & Barbuda

Author Wayne Fields once wrote, “The best six doctors anywhere, and no one can deny it, are sunshine, water, rest, and air, exercise and diet. These six will gladly you attend if only you are willing.” Wise words indeed. And in Antigua & Barbuda, these six “doctors” are in plentiful supply for those who take a preventative approach to their well-being.

Sunshine? Endless. Water? The warmest, most translucent turquoise imaginable. Clean, balmy air, gently tempered by cooling trade winds? Always. Tick, tick, tick.

And this year-round balmy climate naturally encourages an active outdoor lifestyle, whether

it is embracing the incredible range of sporting activities both on land and sea, hiking through the island’s verdant hills, or playing a leisurely round of golf. For rest and rejuvenation, there is no shortage of options, from lounging on one of the islands’ 365 stunning beaches to indulging in world-class hospitality and sumptuous spa treatments. And when it comes to diet, the twin islands deliver in abundance. With the freshest seafood, an incredible variety of tropical fruits and vegetables, and a thriving culinary scene that boasts world-class restaurants, food truly becomes medicine here.

As the world increasingly recognises that good health is not solely dependent on popping pills and hospital visits, Antigua & Barbuda is embracing a more holistic philosophy. From cutting-edge stem cell treatments to chiropractic care, reiki, acupuncture, and alternative therapies, the islands offer a wealth of options for those seeking to take control of their health. Medicinal cannabis is also gaining recognition as a natural remedy for pain management, anxiety, and a range of other conditions, with growing availability for those exploring plant-based treatments.

At the same time, Antigua is home to good healthcare for those who are looking for traditional medicine, excellent education, including the fourth landed campus of the University of the West Indies, and great communications infrastructure. Beyond its stunning coastline, the island offers wonderful nature and historical locations, such as the UNESCO Heritage Site of Nelson’s Dockyard. And with direct flights taking just four hours to New York and eight hours to London, the islands remain connected to the world while offering a true sanctuary.

Adding to its appeal, Antigua & Barbuda’s Citizenship by Investment Programme is ranked amongst the top three in the 2024 Henley Passport Index. Citizenship to the islands grants individuals myriad benefits, offering personal freedom, global mobility, a second home and a plan B in uncertain geopolitical times.
