In its latest annual travel guide, Caribbean Journal has recognised Antigua and Barbuda as one of the 25 Best Caribbean Islands to visit in 2025.
The listing, compiled by Alexander Britell, draws from the publication’s extensive regional expertise spanning over a decade and a half.
The publication emphasizes their commitment to providing authentic travel insights, noting their “exhaustive and comprehensive” coverage based on year-round visits and on-the-ground research across the Caribbean islands.
In their assessment of Antigua and Barbuda, the publication particularly highlights the destination’s embodiment of the quintessential Caribbean experience.
“There’s a reason that Antigua and Barbuda has been the fastest-growing destination in the Caribbean in the last decade — it’s just that good,” writes Britell, praising the destination’s impressive collection of authentic accommodations, including Hammock Cove, Galley Bay, Keyonna, and Jumby Bay.
The article spotlights Antigua and Barbuda’s diverse offerings, from its renowned 365 beaches to the emerging appeal of Barbuda, notably mentioning the Nobu development. The destination’s culinary scene receives special recognition, with Sheer Rocks being described as belonging to “the pantheon of great Caribbean eateries.”
Historical attractions like Nelson’s Dockyard, world-class snorkelling opportunities, and the renowned rum collection at Papa Zouk’s are also highlighted as key features.
According to Caribbean Journal, despite its growing popularity, Antigua and Barbuda maintains its uncrowded charm, offering visitors the ability to discover “pristine corner[s] of sand” and “quiet slice[s] of perfect.”
Other destinations joining Antigua and Barbuda on the list include Exuma and Downtown Nassau in The Bahamas, San Ignacio in Belize, Grand Case in St Martin, and Kingston, Jamaica, among others.
