Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AvalynPerfectly positioned overlooking English Harbour, with peaceful green gardens and unparalleled views of the turquoise sea, Villa Avalyn’s elevated location allows for privacy and seclusion within a vibrant location. The silky white sands and dreamlike waters of Pigeon Point Beach are only a five-minute walk away, while English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour both provide a wealth of excellent restaurants. Catherine’s Cafe on Pigeon Point Beach is famous for its delicious French cuisine with a laidback Caribbean twist, while Colibri is a delightful garden restaurant tucked away in English Harbour, offering authentic French and Créole delicacies, as well as amazing cocktails.
Villa Avalyn was once home to Antigua’s American Consulate and offers exceptional facilities for guests to enjoy. For those who wish to venture a little further afield, the stunning landscapes of Antigua lie waiting to be discovered! With 365 beaches dotted along the island’s coastline, one for each day of the year, you will always be spoiled for choice when it comes to your next dip in the ocean.
Blissful beaches are only the beginning of all that this friendly island has to offer. Only twenty minutes away from Villa Avalyn on foot, Nelson’s Dockyard National Park is one of five fantastic national parks in Antigua. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, this eighteenth-century British naval dockyard is an area of great historical significance on the island, as well as a popular venue for maritime events and activities.
Nelson's Dockyard offers visitors plenty of fantastic trekking trails, with breathtaking sights along the way. You might consider visiting Shirley Heights, a restored military lookout with panoramic views and the home of a famous Sunday evening party, where visitors are invited to come and take part in the festivities. Listen to live Caribbean steel drum bands, try some of the local food and rum punch and discover amazing sunset views of the island.
Devil’s Bridge is another Antiguan national park that is sure to make an impression. The bridge itself is a natural arch composed of limestone rock, formed over the course of many thousands of years. With geysers and blowholes surrounding the bridge as the waves of the Atlantic crash against the rocks, this is a bracing adventure that will leave you in awe of the serene beaches you have just left behind.

Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Avalyn features a large swimming pool and magical sea views, which will be sure to capture the imaginations of younger visitors, encouraging them to spend lots of time outside in the fresh air. As well as Wi-Fi, TV and plenty of games and books, there are cosy nooks and crannies throughout the house for a quiet hour spent reading in the shade or a quick nap before dinner on the covered patio. Should you wish to wander further afield, you will find a diverse range of activities to keep the whole family entertained.
Watersports are widely available throughout Antigua, with sea kayaking and kitesurfing among the most popular. There are numerous boat tours also available, including tours to Antigua’s sister island, Barbuda. Some ninety minutes across the water, one of Barbuda’s highlights is the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, home to thousands of exotic red-throated birds. Back in Antigua, you can visit the island’s wonderful donkey sanctuary, where children are encouraged to feed the friendly animals.
A day spent hiking around Nelson’s Dockyard is another great way to get closer to nature. Ascend to the stunning panoramic views of Shirley Heights on a quiet weekday afternoon, for a scenic hike that everyone will remember. This is a relatively easy hike but do make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and pack plenty of water. You will find handy trail maps available to download online.
For something a little different, why not take everyone to watch a local cricket match? The island is devoted to its national sport, which is played everywhere, though official matches tend to take place on weekends. Later, drive to St. John’s, where older children will enjoy the vibrancy of the island’s capital. Here, families can visit any of the local restaurants to sample some of the island’s delicacies.
If you are in the mood for an exciting island adventure, drive along the coast before turning inland towards Fig Tree Drive, where you will pass open fields of bananas and other colourful fruits. Within twenty-five minutes you will reach the Antigua Rainforest Canopy Park, where a day of thrilling activities awaits! With experienced instructors to guide you at every point along the way, you will cross suspension bridges and rope obstacles, ziplining above the tree-tops and crisscrossing a stunning gorge. Don’t forget to take a break in the magical twin tree houses, tucked away in the dense rainforest. This is an exhilarating day out that varies in intensity, with options to suit all age groups.
Later, head to Pigeon Point Beach for a relaxing swim at sunset, before a delicious dinner together at Falmouth Harbour. Once the stars have come out, everyone will be sure to sleep soundly after another day of fun and adventure!
