You'll feel the excitement and love in the air when you step onto ‘Love Lane' at the V.C. Bird International Airport in June. That's right, the Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority will whisk you through immigration with a couples-only priority pass for Romance Month

It is easy to complete the pre-application to the fast-track lane here prior to your arrival and receive your digital e-card for a flying start to your romantic celebrations, as the destination celebrates LOVE in all forms which include I Dos, honeymoons, and romantic escapes.

When it comes to planning; you want to do it right with Indigo, Ilan Weddings Antigua, and more. Let these organisers help make all your romantic dreams come true, with the perfect venue, setting and so much more. There are a plethora of places perfect for photos, along with experienced and skilled photographers, that promise to capture the moment for you. 

As for where to stay, there is nothing more romantic than sitting in the lap of luxury at one of these beachfront resorts —or simply opting for a hotel or villa/cottage with a private pool. Lovebirds can relax on sunbed-dotted beaches and at countless eateries.

Have a Happy Romance Month!
