Luxury St. Mary's Holidays

Lives up to the hype

St. Mary's

St Mary’s holidays offer you a pristine white sandy beach and some of Antigua’s most upmarket hotels. The town is nestled on the south west coast of the island, where you’ll find some of the best beaches, including the famous Turners Beach, and a chance to enjoy the best facilities and amenities.

The beach is a main draw for holidaymakers, with its clear and shallow waters making it perfect for families travelling with little ones who just want to paddle. The crystal clear sea is teeming with life, with opportunities for you to explore the colourful coral, and many varieties of fish with snorkelling, or scuba-diving trips. Alternatively, simply sunbathe beneath the palm trees as you listen to the surf gently lapping the soft white sands. When it comes to refreshments there is a little beach bar where you can enjoy a relaxed lunch of cool beers, exotic cocktails and fresh seafood.

The rainy season takes place from June to November, with October racking up the most rainfall – unlike the constant drizzle we often get at home, Caribbean rain tends to fall in short, sharp bursts, usually followed by sunshine and blue skies.

Currently visas are not required for UK citizens travelling to Antigua.

Tipping

A 10% service charge will often be added to restaurant bills, however, for good service, it’s common to leave a 5% cash tip as well. Aim for a 10% tip on fixed taxi fares and a couple of dollars for porters and maids.
