Barbuda

Filed in archive by Susan Fogwell on February 18, 2007

Barbuda
We sailed an exhilarating 40 nautical miles north from Falmouth Harbour, Antigua to Barbudalinks on a 41 foot catamaran. Barbuda is Antigua's small sister island. We anchored between Cocoa Point and Palmetto Point on the southwestern coast. I jumped in the dinghy and captured this photo of the brilliant blue water with our boat bobbing off the beach.

Not many people go to Barbuda; in fact, not many people know much about the little leeward island. It's out of the way and extremely quiet, but yet accessible to those who make the effort. The fine, white beach with pink specks stretches for 11 unbroken miles. This unspoiled, low island, is yet another destination purely for escapism and perfect for pondering. Unwinding is a pastime here and entertainment is found in hiking and scuba discoveries. For people who appreciate solitude, Barbuda is a marriage made in heaven.

There are only four hotels on pristine Barbuda; the exclusive K Club, named after Krizia where Princess Diana stayed on several occasions. Coco Point Lodge is all inclusive including airfare from Antigua. North Beach is the ultimate private hideaway. Located on a tiny private island and accessible only by boat. And, lastly, the Beach House is a luxury, sophisticated boutique hotel ideal for honeymooners and discerning travelers.
