In the Americas, there is a low-key yet prestigious vacation destination that attracts countless tourists from all over the world throughout the year. This is a country composed of two small islands: one called "Antigua" and the other "Barbuda," and the country is named "Antigua and Barbuda." Located in the northern Caribbean, it is a nation with high vegetation coverage, charming scenery, and a relaxed, comfortable lifestyle. It has long been hailed as the "back garden of North America" and is a gathering place for global political and business elites.


An international magazine once revealed that Antigua and Barbuda is one of the places in the world where it is easiest to encounter celebrities and the wealthy. This claim might be doubted—isn't that Dubai? As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and hearing is not as good as seeing. Let us take a look at which political and business elites love this place!


Political Sphere

The late Princess Diana of the United Kingdom would come to Antigua and Barbuda for vacation every year. It is said that Princess Diana's favorite was this mysterious pink sand beach in Antigua that is full of girlish charm. The veteran Hollywood action superstar and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, held a romantic wedding with his beloved on this beautiful pink island.


Sports World

In 2017, football legend Lionel Messi and his childhood sweetheart, Antonela, held their wedding at the City Center Hotel in Rosario, Argentina, witnessed by Gonzalo Carrillo, the Director of the Civil Registry of Santa Fe Province. For their most important honeymoon, Messi carefully chose the dual-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda.


Entertainment Industry

American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has a private villa in Antigua and Barbuda adjacent to the Caribbean Sea and palm trees, a beachfront mansion worth 30 million USD. Guitar master Eric Clapton is her neighbor. Eric Patrick Clapton, born on March 30, 1945, in Surrey, England, has won 18 Grammy Awards and is one of the most successful musicians of the 20th century, with three inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.


Business World

Giorgio Armani, the founder of Armani, loves the sunshine and local customs of Antigua and Barbuda, so he purchased a beachfront villa and often sunbathes at his home on Antigua Island to maintain his signature bronze skin tone.


In addition to these celebrities, Hollywood A-listers like Robert De Niro, world gambling tycoon James Packer, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and many nobles from Dubai have also come here to invest in large-scale travel and vacation projects... Antigua and Barbuda has become a place of residence for many political and business elites. With an Antigua passport, you can live here, vacation, and be neighbors with political and business elites.


Currently, Antigua passport immigration has many advantages such as low application thresholds, simple procedures, and fast approval, making it a typical representative of "light luxury" immigration! By investing in the Antigua National Development Fund, the whole family of four generations can apply for an Antigua passport, obtain Commonwealth citizenship, and enjoy the generous benefits of Commonwealth citizens.
