Coast/Beach
Antigua has 365 beaches one for each day of the year! Villa Bijou is ideally located close to some of the best beaches on the island. You can either enjoy the activities and water sports that Jolly Beach has to offer (5-10 minutes walk away) or relax on the some of the quieter beaches like Ffryes Beach or (the locals favourite) Darkwood Beach all a 5 minutes drive away.

Jolly Harbour has an 18-hole Championship Golf Course and Club House, which is a 15-min walk away.
Travel
Antigua's airport is the V C Bird International which is 10 miles from the villa. Clients will be met at the villa, given keys and instructed on the use of the alarm system. Car hire is not essential. Car hire is however available from both the airport or Jolly Harbour. Alternatively hire a taxi for the day (around US$100). They'll take you wherever you want and wait for you while you explore the sights of Antigua.
Distances
Jolly Beach is the largest marina, golf and beach resort in the Caribbean. This is only 5-10 minutes walk away. Here there are numerous bars and restaurants providing endless evening entertainment only a stone's throw away.
Villa Bijou is situated on the beautiful west coast of Antigua, the Caribbean Sea side. The villa is, however, in a quiet area so you can enjoy tranquillity as well.
Further details
Antigua's sister island of Barbuda lies 27 miles northeast of Antigua with a land area of 62 square miles. The largest of the English-speaking Leeward Islands, Antigua is about 14 miles long and 11 miles wide.
Sunny and warm all year with soothing trade winds, the average temperature ranges from the mid-seventies in the winter to the mid-eighties in the summer. Annual rainfall averages only 45 inches, making it the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands, and the northeast trade winds are nearly constant, flagging only in September. Antigua has low humidity all year.
The Antiguan's are really friendly. The Jolly Beach Shopping Plaza fronts the marina with a decked walkway and is conveniently only a 5 mins walk from the villa. The Grand Princess Casino is next to the shopping plaza which has boutiques, jewellery store, bank, large supermarket (ideal for self-catering at the villa), off licence, pharmacy, Caribbean art gallery, music store, beauty salon and car hire. There are a wide range of water sports available from Jolly Beach (10 minutes walk from the villa) including wind surfing, sunfish sailing, water bicycles, skiing, para-sailing, sausage runs, jet-skis and ocean kayaks. You can also book fishing charters in the shopping plaza or a helicopter sightseeing tour of the Island or neighbouring Montserrat. Scuba diving and snorkeling trips can also be arranged with PADI qualified instructors. If that all sounds too energetic then within a 5 mins drive from the villa (or a 15-25 walk) are some of the best white sandy beaches on the Island.
