As global uncertainty and political instability dominate headlines, more people are turning their gaze to the Caribbean—a region that offers not only natural beauty but also stability, security, and a fresh start. Among these islands, Antigua & Barbuda shines as a top destination for those seeking a second home or a new permanent residence.
With its pristine beaches, modern infrastructure, and strong sense of community, Antigua combines the charm of island life with the conveniences of modern living. Its international airport provides easy connectivity, while its low crime rate and high standard of education makes it an attractive choice for families and retirees alike.
Elmsbridge, a leader in Caribbean property development, has been helping homeowners create their ideal refuge for the last two decades. Offering thoughtfully designed communities and comprehensive services, Elmsbridge allows clients to enjoy all the benefits of homeownership in Antigua without the usual challenges.
Elmsbridge currently offers two distinct developments to explore, each tailored to different lifestyles yet united by the company’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship:
- The Gardens: Situated in the established golf & marina community of Jolly Harbour on Antigua’s west coast, The Gardens features 36 lots with turn-key villa options. Aside from whole ownership, shared ownership opportunities make this development accessible for those who want a slice of paradise without a full-time commitment. Pricing starts at $1.2M for whole and $300k for shared ownership.
- The Beach Houses: Located on the chic south coast, this private enclave of ten turnkey homes offers stunning waterfront living in one of Antigua’s most sought-after areas, in the internationally renowned sailing mecca of English and Falmouth Harbours. Pricing starts at $1.6M for this exclusive community.
Both developments are designed to integrate seamlessly into their natural surroundings, prioritizing privacy and comfort while providing spaces to enjoy family, friends, and the tranquil island lifestyle. With over 60% of homes already sold, it’s clear that these communities are some of the most desirable on the island.
Elmsbridge’s process is designed to take the stress out of creating a home. Buyers choose from a variety of villa designs, working with the team to personalize interiors with high-quality finishes and furnishings that work well in this tropical climate. Homeowners can also choose to benefit from full-service property management, ensuring homes are well-maintained and can be rented out for income when not in use.
One of the most appealing aspects of Elmsbridge’s developments is their eligibility for the Antigua & Barbuda Citizenship by Investment Program. This program allows buyers to gain citizenship with their home purchase, offering increased global mobility, financial benefits, and the security of holding an asset in a stable, desirable location. Homeowners who choose to become citizens can benefit from significant tax savings on acquisition. For many, this turns a vacation home into a long-term investment and the opportunity for a better quality of life.
Antigua offers a rare balance: a laid-back lifestyle with access to a welcoming international community, modern amenities, and world-class natural surroundings. Whether you’re looking for a serene escape, a permanent residence, or a solid investment, the island provides an opportunity to build a life that feels both secure and enriched.
