Most islands have attractions but Antigua has the greatest combination and widest range. Also, it is literally the centre of the Caribbean for the very active yachting sector and as a hub for international airlines. With 365 beaches, the history of having been the Royal Navy’s main Caribbean base, a fundamentally English lifestyle but in the sun and the lowest crime rate in the Caribbean, Antigua is an attractive, safe and friendly place to buy a home.
