About Five Islands Village

Five Islands Village sits on Antigua's west coast, a short way from St John's, among sheltered bays, headlands and quiet beaches.

Five Islands Village lies on the west coast of Antigua, a few kilometres from the capital, St John's. Houses and small plots of land line the road above a coast of bays and headlands, with the Caribbean on one side and the island's low hills on the other. It is a quiet place beside the sea, and the cathedral and harbour of St John's are a short drive away.
