Another amazing thing about Antigua is the weather. No matter when you plan to visit for your villa holiday, the island is hot all year round, with average temperatures between the late 20s and early 30s. All our villas have private pools in which to cool off, and are all either within walking distance of the beach or located right at the water’s edge. Enjoy winter sun in high season between December and April, when the weather is coolest and driest, while wet season is between the middle of June and November, with short spells of tropical showers.
