ANTIGUA & BARBUDA, Feb. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur Lynette Kaid, who goes by just "Kaid," wanted to recharge, reconnect with nature, and find new inspiration she knew wouldn't come from just sitting on a beach. She needed to relax, but also wanted to taste new food, see new sights, and immerse herself in a vibrant culture. A solo trip to Antigua turned out to be just what her body and soul needed. "Traveling is a balance of feelings and experiences," Kaid explains. "While Antigua offers an interesting, multi-layered, historical journey, I felt so connected and present discovering its current culture." Some of her favorite moments included rum-tasting, experiencing Ital cuisine, and, as a talented artist, discovering local crafts and connecting with the steel pan musicians at a local barbeque overlooking an incredible sunset.

Key Points: 
  • Antigua's Elite Island Resorts offer a rejuvenating escape for solo female travelers seeking wellness, culture, and adventure.
  • On top of that, the island is home to five resorts in the Elite Island Resorts portfolio, four of which are adults-only, which means that solo female travelers have a variety of options for their getaways.
  • While there's plenty to do at the resorts themselves, Kaid urges her fellow solo travelers to get out and explore the island.
