Back on Fig Tree Drive is little John Hughes village, and then the village of Swetes. The latter’s chief claim to fame is as the birthplace of the former West Indies fast bowler, Curtley Ambrose. Off to the left, between the two villages, a path leads to Body Ponds, a series of dammed ponds where some peaceful walks can be enjoyed.

Barbuda

A visit to Antigua would not be complete without a trip to its tiny sister island, Barbuda, which is about 62 sq miles (160 sq km) in area and lies some 30 miles (48km) northeast of Antigua. Devastated by Hurricane Irma in September 2017, this island, with its breathtaking coral-fringed, pinkish sands, crystal-clear water and charming leisurely pace of life, is working hard to rebuild and restore it to the beautiful paradise it was.

Irma decimated around 90 percent of the island’s infrastructure with homes, schools, churches, medical facilities and boats destroyed. By early 2018 only about 360 people – the population is around 1,800 – had returned to the island and most were living in make-shift tents or in rough accommodation still without power and running water. By the end of 2018 the first hotels and guesthouses were up and running and tours were departing regularly around the island. Getting there from Antigua is simple either by plane or ferry boat (click here).
