Welcome to the islands of Antigua and Barbuda

I welcome everyone who has chosen to become a citizen of our fair paradise. For those considering Antigua & Barbuda as their new country of citizenship, I applaud you for making a wise choice.

Antigua & Barbuda are two islands that comprise a single state, measuring 170 square miles, and populated by 100,000 citizens and residents. Barbuda measures 62 square miles and only 2,000 people reside there permanently. Yet, the most beautiful beaches, the most transparent turquoise waters and the only island in our Caribbean with a colony of frigate birds make Barbuda worthy of repeat visits.

My government decided to turn this undiscovered jewel-in-the-rough into a low-density destination for high-end income earners possessed of the resources to invest in luxury resorts and opulent condominiums.

For these reasons, the Peace Love and Happiness (PLH) Club has invested more than US$500 million in creating luxury housing, a challenging golf course, beautiful tropical gardens, and protective sand dunes that mimic nature in protecting the land from high-energy waves.

The Nobu Restaurant and, upon completion, the Nobu Luxury Resort will attract many who will fly into Barbuda for a day to experience its gastronomic delights. The high standards of this brand will attract the most discerning of diners, and those with an appreciation for exceptional culinary experiences.

The magnificent and luxurious real estate developments take into account the need for private jets to bring their customers from North America or elsewhere to Barbuda. An international airport has been constructed to receive aircraft from virtually anywhere in the world so that the need to land in Antigua and then transfer to a smaller craft flying to a small landing strip in Barbuda is in the past.

The most beautiful beaches, the most transparent turquoise waters and the only island in our Caribbean with a colony of frigate birds make Barbuda worthy of repeat visits.

A new deep-water port will allow for container ships to dock and discharge containers coming from Miami, Panama or Europe. Game-changing developments are on the horizon.

I invite you to choose my island-country for your investment and for citizenship. The future is certain.
