Why Antigua is a Celebrity Hot Spot, Perfect for Owning a Place in the Sun…
With its tropical climate, sandy beaches, lush landscapes, inviting turquoise waters and laid-back lifestyle, there are many reasons why Antigua is the perfect destination for those looking to escape the UK’s cold winter climate and enjoy their very own property abroad
Renowned for its good business climate and stable political environment, the “Land of 365 Beaches” is becoming an increasingly popular choice for expatriates, and the rich and famous, with celebrities such as Eric Clapton, Pierce Brosnan, Giorgio Armani and Oprah Winfrey, all being drawn to the sunshine isle and choosing to invest Antigua’s housing market.
It’s also a great choice for digital nomads seeking the opportunity to work abroad remotely and to increase their work-life balance by enjoying some winter sun, whilst using their very own Antiguan property as a work base. According to recent research from the Post Office, more than seven in ten UK employees (72%) say they are planning on working in a different country as a ‘digital nomad’.
For those looking to purchase their very own place in the sun, Antigua offers a lot of real estate choices. Pearns Point is a stunning beach and ocean front development on the West coast. For those that dream of waking up to uninterrupted views across the Caribbean Sea and walking along deserted beautiful beaches, Pearns Point offers a rare and exciting opportunity to own a property in a prime and unspoilt location.
The community of luxury homes is being built on a spectacular peninsula on the west coast of Antigua, which is joined to the mainland by a narrow causeway. With the feeling of a national park, the peninsula is an area of outstanding natural beauty, surrounded by eight idyllic and secluded beaches. Buyers have a choice of beachfront, ocean front or ocean view lots, each offering spectacular vistas across the iridescent turquoise sea.
What’s more, a new villa design “Caribbean Connected”, has recently launched as part of their plot + plan programme. It has been designed by James Hamilton Architects.
This new design has been conceived as a tranquil retreat, seamlessly blending within the hillside of Pearns Point. Centred around a spacious living area, the layout effortlessly flows onto the terrace and into the bedroom wings on either side of the property.
A robust stone plinth grounds the structure, echoing the natural stone found on site while textured plaster walls and cedar shingles establish a natural and indigenous palette of materials. Expansive West-facing openings capture the sunset and ocean views whilst maintaining a level of privacy and seclusion.
The design employs passive strategies such as roof overhangs to mitigate solar heat and natural ventilation for enhanced comfort. The result is a home rooted, adaptable and deeply connected to the hillside site.
With its combination of a first-class international airport with direct access to the UK, US, Canada and Europe and its world class facilities, such as hotels, restaurants, yachting and luxury property, Antigua remains one of the most sought-after destinations in the Caribbean.
