Antigua by Private Jet: Where Privacy Meets Barefoot Sophistication

With 365 beaches—one for every day of the year—Antigua may sound like a cliché Caribbean escape. But for those arriving by private jet, it offers far more than just soft sand and clear waters. Antigua is quietly confident, understated in its luxury, and exceptionally well-suited to clients who favour low-profile relaxation, private estates, and effortless access.

Whether you’re chartering for a winter sun break, arriving for the sailing season, or combining it with a Caribbean yacht itinerary, Antigua delivers an elite experience—without ever trying too hard.

Private Jet Access to Antigua

VC Bird International Airport (ANU), located just outside St. John’s, is one of the region’s most reliable and jet-capable airports, with a 9,000 ft runway and a dedicated private aviation terminal offering full FBO services, including VIP customs clearance, airside transfers, and secure storage.

Flight Times by Private Jet:

• London to Antigua (ANU): Approx. 8 hours (non-stop via heavy or long-range jet)

• New York to Antigua: Approx. 4.5 hours

• Miami to Antigua: Approx. 3 hours

• Los Angeles to Antigua (1 stop): Approx. 7–8 hours

Antigua’s central Caribbean location also makes it ideal for onward connections to Barbuda, St. Kitts, St. Barths, or Anguilla—either by helicopter or yacht.

Where to Stay: Exclusive Properties Worth Your Time

Antigua excels in low-density, high-quality stays—a perfect match for private jet clients. Whether it’s a full estate with private staff or a suite at a discreet, design-led resort, the options here are quiet, secure, and impeccably serviced.

Jumby Bay Island

Accessible only by boat (or helicopter), Jumby Bay is one of the most exclusive private islands in the Caribbean. The resort offers fully staffed villas and estate homes, complete with private pools, personal chefs, and unobtrusive five-star service. With no cars and no keys, this is luxury at its most relaxed.

The Inn at English Harbour

Set on a tranquil beach near the iconic Nelson’s Dockyard, this boutique retreat combines colonial charm with understated elegance. Ideal for those seeking complete peace and proximity to the island’s yachting scene.

Private Estates

Antigua boasts an exceptional collection of privately owned villas and compounds, often with panoramic sea views, gated access, and bespoke staffing. Perfect for extended stays, family gatherings, or simply switching off with complete privacy.

Island Experiences: Curated, Quiet, and Yours Alone

Antigua doesn’t cater to the masses—and that’s precisely its strength. Instead, it offers highly personalised, low-key experiences, often far from the spotlight.

• Yachting & Sailing – Home to Antigua Sailing Week and the Superyacht Challenge, the island is a cornerstone of the Caribbean yachting circuit. Private charters and full itineraries are available year-round.

• Private Beach Access – With 365 beaches, we’ll help you find your own—staffed and stocked, should you wish.

• Helicopter Tours – Scenic flights over Montserrat’s volcanic landscape or a swift hop to Barbuda for a beachfront lunch.

• Private Dining – From clifftop dinners at Sheer Rocks to in-villa chefs preparing your menu of choice with local ingredients.

Events & Seasons: When to Go

• Peak Season (December – April): Ideal weather, high-profile yacht events, and prime villa availability. Book well in advance for Christmas and New Year.

• Summer & Autumn (May – November): Quieter months with excellent availability and competitive pricing. Still ideal for private travellers avoiding the crowds.

Antigua’s private infrastructure remains operational year-round, making it an excellent alternative to more seasonal European destinations.
