Facts & Stats

This jewel in the Caribbean has been continuously inhabited since 3100 BC — millennia before Columbus ventured into the region. It consists of two major islands, Antigua and Barbuda, with 97% being residents of Antigua, their people can be called Antiguan or Barbadian.

Today, Antigua and Barbuda is famous around the world as an exotic tourist holiday destination with a beach for every day of the year — yes, 365 pristine beaches. You’ll also find zip lines crisscrossing dense rainforest, hiking trails across Antigua’s numerous beaches, and majestic hills jutting out from the sun-washed landscape.

While the infrastructure is not as advanced as more favoured Central American nomad hotspots, there are plenty of worse places to land if you plan on working remotely.
