Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda are two islands of countless beaches, the sailing harbour of English Harbour and a citizenship-by-investment programme. There is no income tax, while food, electricity and rent are expensive because almost everything arrives by sea. It stays warm and dry most of the year, the pleasant stretch runs from December to April, and hurricanes are possible from June to November. Work outside tourism barely exists, healthcare is basic, and specialist care means a flight to the US or Barbados.
