Antigua & Barbuda will join more than 150 countries in celebrating World Wellness Weekend from September 19 to 21, 2025. The event is led by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority with support from local wellness groups and partners.

The program includes a Barbuda beach clean-up, healing circles, art therapy, hikes, and yoga sessions. There will also be a women’s wellness forum, a hydroponic garden tour, and sound bath activities. These events aim to promote health, relaxation, and connection with nature.

Tourism officials highlighted that wellness is part of daily life in Antigua & Barbuda. The islands were previously named the first official Wellness Destination by the Wellness Tourism Association. Barbuda also earned the title of “Most Active Small Island” during last year’s celebrations.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to share their experiences using the hashtags #LoveAntiguaBarbuda and #Welfie. The weekend is expected to showcase the islands as leaders in holistic tourism while offering locals a chance to recharge and reconnect.
