Antigua (An-tee'ga olarak telaffuz edilir) ve Barbuda (Bar-byew'da), Karayip Denizi'nin kalbinde yer alır. Leeward Adaları'nın en büyüğü olan Antigua ve Barbuda, 108 mil karelik bir alanı kapsıyor. Yılın her gününe ait 365 adet beyaz ve pembe kumlu plaj, ziyaretçileri bekleyen hazinelerin sadece başlangıcı. Antigua'nın zengin tarihi ve muhteşem topografyası, çeşitli popüler gezi fırsatları sunmaktadır. 1755'te İngilizler tarafından yaptırılan bir Gürcü kalesinin geriye kalan tek örneği olan Nelson Tersanesi, belki de en ünlü simgesel yapıdır. 1674 yılında inşa edilen Betty's Hope, Antigua'daki ilk tam ölçekli şeker tarlalarından birinin alanıdır ve restore edilmiş değirmenleri ziyaret ederek zamanda geriye gitme şansı sunmaktadır. Bir başka benzersiz cazibe merkezi ise, Atlantik dalgalarının doğal bir kireçtaşı kemerini oyduğu Indian Town Ulusal Parkı'ndaki adanın doğu ucunda yer alan Şeytan Köprüsü'dür. Antigua, Dünya Standartlarında Antigua Yelken Haftası, Klasik Yat Yarışı, Antigua Spor Balıkçılığı ve ayrıca yıllık Karnaval gibi etkinlikleri içeren zengin bir turizm takvimine sahiptir; Karayipler'in En Büyük Yaz Festivali olarak bilinir. Ada konaklama seçenekleri lüks, butik tatil yerlerinden ve her şey dahil otellerden daha küçük, daha samimi butik misafirhanelere ve kır evlerine kadar çeşitlilik göstermektedir.
