Looking for the perfect beach honeymoon? Antigua has
beaches: 365 of them, the tourism folks claim. Stretches of white sand
that border turquoise waters teeming with marine life. Beaches where
you can walk and hardly see another soul. Beaches where you can shop
for local crafts and buy a burger at a beachside grill. And beaches
where you can just curl up under a tall coconut palm and seethe end
of another Caribbean day.
Curtain
Bluff Hotel
This exclusive hotel, home of one of the Caribbean's best wine cellars,
is located on a private peninsula with two beaches. The all-inclusive
property includes all meals, drinks, afternoon tea, watersports, tennis,
golf, and even mail service so you can send those postcards home.
Hawksbill
Resort
Located just a few minutes from St. John's, this quiet resort is our
favorite kind: quiet, restful, and located on, not one, but four superb
beaches. With a primarily British contingency, the resort is somewhat
reserved but just a few minutes from the action of St. John's. The
37-acre property includes cottages and low-profile buildings that
house 113 units. Nudists can wander over to the fourth beach to seek
the total tan at the only nude beach in Antigua. An all-inclusive
plan is available.
Sandals
Antigua
Like the other couples-only resorts in this popular chain, Sandals
Antigua offers an array of activities that can keep even the most
restless honeymooners happy. Activity coordinators, or Playmakers,
keep things going for those who want to stay busy. For couples preferring
inactivity, two-person hammocks and "love baskets," swinging
wicker baskets, offer quiet afternoons beneath shady palapas.
Sunsail
Colonna Club
Would the two of you like to learn to sail--or to improve your sailing
skills? Then this is the place. Part of a worldwide chain of resorts
dedicated to sailing, this all-inclusive covers all types of sailing,
from the most basic to bareboating.
