Antigua & Barbuda
Antigua & Barbuda
The beautiful capital city of St. John’s, on Antigua, is the most populated city in the island federation. It is worth considering that when one chooses to engage in the Antiguan citizenship by investment program real estate option, that only 25% of the island federation’s population lives in urban areas. This is due to the fact that the size of the island allows for a commuter culture into the urban areas for work, while maintaining the beach lifestyle at home. This is in contrast to the global average of 55% of a country’s population living in urban areas, and this reflects the high quality of life that the Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment program affords its participants.
A family eligible for Antigua and Barbuda citizenship by investment is bound to be enticed by eclectic cultures of the islands and people living there. A particular advantage for newcomers to the islands is the relatively simplistic linguistic situation compared to other islands, with English being the only language spoken there and a notable absence of creole languages.

- Despite having the two islands in its official name, Antigua & Barbuda is actually made up of three islands. The third island, Redonda, is a small, uninhabited volcanic outcrop that serves as a regional haven for endemic species of flora and fauna.
- When you consider the highest number of beaches per square capita, Antigua comes second to none with a beach for every day of the year. A very dynamic and geologically complex coastline provides more swimming options than one could want in a lifetime.
- Barbuda houses the largest frigate bird colony in the western hemisphere. The beautiful black and red birds number more than 2500 when they roost annually in the mangrove swamps in Barbuda’s Codrington Lagoon National Park.
