Antigua is the largest of the Leeward Islands. The island is some 18 miles (28km) in diameter, 108 square miles (280 square kilometers) in area and has a population of 80,000. It has a stunning rugged coastline dotted with hidden bays, beautiful coral reefs, and 365 white sandy beaches. There are numerous historic sites on the island as well as a huge choice of fantastic sport and leisure activities. And with temperatures remaining in the mid-70s to high 80s all year round, it's the perfect place to soak up some sun.

‼️
Arrival Procedure
  • When you leave the aircraft, look out for an employee holding a Hermitage Bay sign, or someone holding any hotel sign, at the top of the escalator leading down to the Immigration Hall. If there is a long queue exiting the plane you will need to walk past everyone until you find the employee. If anyone asks what you’re doing, say you are looking for the representative.
  • Once met, you will be escorted down to Immigration in the lift where you show all your printed papers and your passport. You will then be directed to the fast-track queue.
  • Once you have left Immigration and collected your bags, please ask any airport official to point out the next representative, who will lead you to a fast-track queue for Customs. On less busy days, this part of the service may not be necessary.
  • We suggest you do not use a baggage trolley because as soon as you exit Customs and enter the main airport concourse, there is a barrier that stops you taking a trolley through.
  • Our representative will be waiting outside the airport building and will guide you to the vehicle that will transfer you to the hotel. The journey is about 35 mins.
  • In the event you have difficulty finding the representative, there is a Hermitage Bay stand just across the access road directly opposite the main airport building.
