Antigua offers breathtaking views and a mild climate, of course, but at night you'll feel the atmosphere come alive in a different way. Whether you're hoping to find a popular disco or a sultry spot to sip wine, there are a surprising amount of options, particularly if you choose a property that has their own lineup of entertainment and lounges.
The hotels included in these tables are worth considering if you want to experience the dancing, music, and cocktails of Antigua's nightlife scene. Some are better known for on-site entertainment options, while others are recommended merely for their proximity to awesome local venues.
Hotels and resorts in the list below have been recognized for their popular entertainment and nightlife, or for being found in areas where the surrounding nightlife is good too. Beginning with our top pick, the Jolly Beach Resort & Spa, the very best are listed at the top; the ratings were created based on a number of relevant details, including their venues, their variety, and more on the properties and nearby.
Because live performances are practically the staple of hotel nightlife, the table includes availability of entertainment at the hotels. Bear in mind, however, that hotels in Antigua tend to provide more entertainment during the tourist season, so be sure to call or email the property for their schedule if you're looking forward to seeing a show.
