Welcome to Barbuda on the Paradise
Islands website. Barbuda
is part of Antigua and
it is a flat coral
island with an area of
approximately 68 square
miles. The island of
Barbuda lies about 30
miles due north of
Antigua. The first
attempts to settle
Barbuda by the British
and French were
failures. In 1666 the
British established a
colony that was strong
enough to survive nature
and the local Caribs. |

Barbuda
is very relaxed and
gives the impression of
being one of the most
Caribbean Islands.
The main activities are
bird watching,
beachcombing (on the
north eastern Atlantic
coast) and
fishing. One
of the main reasons to
visit Barbuda is to see
the Frigate Bird
Sanctuary. |
|
Barbuda also has
some amazing
pink and white
sandy
deserted beaches,
many shipwrecks
around the
island and
beautiful reefs. |
|
Barbuda's
Frigate Bird
Sanctuary is
located in the
north western
lagoon area and
is only
accessible by
boat. The
Barbuda
sanctuary
features 170
species of birds
and is the home
of over 5,000
frigate birds.
Barbuda can be
reached from the
Island of
Antigua
by a 20 minute
flight or by a
three hour boat
trip. The island
is home to the
luxury
K-Club,
Hotel Palmetto
resort and the
Coco Point
Lodge. |
