Amy from Black Pineapple Travel has just returned from the most wonderful trip to Antigua, hosted by Antigua and Barbuda Tourism for the annual Black Pineapple Awards, and what a trip it was.

Black Pineapple Travel were absolutely delighted to be recognised as one of the Top Travel Agents among thousands, a remarkable achievement that truly highlights the team’s outstanding efforts, passion, and dedication to their clients. To top it off, they were proud to bring home an award for being one of Antigua and Barbuda Tourism’s Top Producers for 2025, an honour that reflects years of expertise and trusted relationships.

A Favourite Place to Stay: Blue Waters Resort & Spa

While on the island, Amy stayed at the stunning Blue Waters Resort & Spa, a long-standing favourite of hers, and of her clients. Set against a backdrop of turquoise seas and lush gardens, it’s a resort guests fall in love with, often returning year after year. Exceptional service, beautiful accommodation, and a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere make it a firm favourite for good reason.

Why Antigua & Barbuda Offer So Much More Than Beaches

Antigua is famously home to 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, but the island offers so much more. During her stay, Amy experienced just how diverse and exciting Antigua and Barbuda can be:

Island Jeep Safari – A brilliant way to explore the island while taking in breathtaking views, historic sites, and hidden gems.

Stingray City – Feeding and swimming with stingrays is an absolutely thrilling and unforgettable experience.

Shirley Heights – A true Antigua must-do. Party with the locals on a Sunday evening with steel bands, live music, BBQ, and rum punch, all while watching the sun set over Montserrat.

Academy of Rum, English Harbour – Learn how Caribbean rum is made and even create a personalised blend to take home. A fun and unique morning experience.

Shopping in St John’s – Explore charming boutiques and enjoy duty-free shopping throughout the capital.

Beach Club Bliss – An afternoon at The Hut at Little Jumby is the perfect way to relax in style.

A Day Trip to Barbuda – From a chic lunch at celebrity hotspot Nobu, to dining with locals at Uncle Roddy’s, spotting fascinating frigate birds, and gliding through crystal-clear lagoons by water taxi, Barbuda is truly unforgettable.

The Beach Is Just the Beginning

With so much to see, do, and experience, Antigua and Barbuda offer far more than just beautiful beaches. Culture, adventure, food, and unforgettable moments await at every turn, making it an ideal destination for couples, families, and luxury travellers alike.
