Ultimate Guide to Living in Antigua and Barbuda: Property Insights & Local Living

Antigua and Barbudacomprise two islands, with Antigua being the “older sibling” in terms of size and infrastructure. Several smaller, uninhabited islands are also part of the nation. The country is surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, with a population of 100,000. The capital is St John’s. The climate here is tropical but not extreme, with lower-than-average humidity and mild winds compared to other parts of the Caribbean. The average temperature is 28°C, and the sea is just as warm. The hurricane season runs from June to November, so it’s important to be prepared for this period. In terms of safety, Antigua and Barbuda is one of the safest places in the Caribbean Community. Visitors and residents are advised to take usual precautions, such as avoiding isolated areas, only using licensed taxis and vendors, and not carrying expensive items or large amounts of cash. English is the official language and is spoken everywhere in the country. The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, though US Dollars are accepted universally. Most establishments accept both cash and credit cards.
