Good to Know
Booking Wellness & Classes Ahead
Reserve yoga classes, spa treatments, and cooking classes at least a few days in advance, especially in high season or on weekends, as smaller studios and kitchens often cap group sizes.
Staying Safe During Nightlife
Antigua’s center is generally walkable and lively at night, but use common sense: keep valuables minimal, stick to well-lit streets, and take a tuk-tuk or taxi back to your hotel if you stay out late.
