Caribbean Villas may provide the ultimate destination for relaxation, but many travelers also use these luxurious accommodations as a base for more active exploration of the region. If you hope to hike these scenic islands and discover the beauty that lies within, then booking luxury vacation rentals in Antigua may be in order – as the popular island is home to one of the best spots for hiking the Caribbean: Shirley Heights.

Located in Nelson's Dockyard National Park, this stunning peak rises high above the English and Falmouth Harbours and provides an unbeatable panorama of the island. On a clear day, the view can stretch to include neighboring islands like Montserrat and Guadeloupe.

Though the view may be what draws you to the top, the nightlife available atop Shirley Heights may just keep you up there. Every week, the Heights host a sunset party with lively music, delicious food and a selection of cocktails.

The peak also boasts a popular bar and restaurant known as the Shirley Heights Lookout, which offers delectable meals all week long and hosts events like weddings and family reunions.

Returning to luxury vacation villas after a night on the town will add an air of elegance to any adventure, and make this vacation one that you and your family will never forget.
