Top Inexpensive Honeymoon Spot – Antigua

We can’t get enough of tropical honeymoons.  They offer what the newly married couple really needs after months and months of hectic wedding planning: fun and relaxation all meshed into one.

So, where else can you find the sun and the sand and not doing anything as part of the routine?  Antigua!

We love the Caribbean and we’re sure you do, too.  If you’re set on having a Caribbean-destined honeymoon, branch outside of the box and go for islands that many still don’t think of when they hear the word “Caribbean.”  Antigua is extremely perfect for that.

Antigua has a stunning number of beaches: approximately 365 picturesque ones await you.  (We love that there’s one for every day of the year.)  The waters are what you would expect: clear, tranquil, and out of a postcard.  The locals are friendly and helpful, and the culture is astounding.  Visit Nelson’s Dockyard National Park if you’re a history buff or if you want some adventure.  Or, if you and your new spouse have a love affair with the outdoors, go hiking in Shirley Heights and if you reach the summit on a clear day, you’ll catch a glimpse of the southern islands of Guadeloupe and Montserrat, the island’s active volcano.  If it’s music you’re after, make an evening trek to the Shirley Heights Lookout Bar and dine to the sounds of Antigua.  The beauty of these two areas is that, since they are connected, there is only one fee to get in so you’ll get two beautiful areas for the price of one.  We love affordable deals on honeymoons!

Accommodations around the island of Antigua aren’t plentiful, but there are adorable bed-and-breakfasts or you can also opt to stay at one of the resorts.  Sandals is a wonderful money-saving option that offers inexpensive deals and they have a breathtaking resort on Antigua.

Caribbean honeymoons can be daunting but taking the time to research and plan your much-needed vacation, will effectively ensure that you’ll get more for your money while enjoying the sights and sounds of a tropical destination.  Safe travels!
