Relax and replenish yourself with a Hot Stone Massage, an organic facial, or perhaps a rehydrating Aloe Vera treatment along with a coconut body scrub. There is nothing like a spa experience to enhance your Caribbean holiday.
 Antigua Race Week is one of the Caribbean’s premiere sailing events. Sailors from all cruising classes across the globe head to historic Nelson’s Dockyard on this former British colony to compete. The week long program features non-mariner races, goofy contests to draw in the non-yachting crowd, parties, and festivities island-wide, musical shows and, of course, island-wide races. If you don’t own a boat, head down and sign up to crew on a boat for the week or simply watch from the shore. The magnificent spinnaker races color the sky against the brilliant blue. Antigua Race Week is always held the last week of April, so come on down for non-stop fun.
The island also hosts other sporting events, such as cricket matches. Learn more about these exciting travel opportunities.
