The twin Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda are making their mark as a must-visit destination for adventure travelers.

Known for year-round ideal temps (about 79 degrees) and hundreds of beaches -- 365 in total, so you can visit one a day for an entire year -- Antigua and Barbuda offers premier health and wellness activities. The postcard-worthy setting paired with a deep roster of innovative wellness initiatives makes this a go-to spot for solo travelers, couples, friends or families looking to relax, refresh and revitalize during their getaway.

You can enjoy water sports, beach activities, hiking tours and unique spa treatments on Antigua and Barbuda. Whether you seek to enjoy these types of activities daily or once during your trip, you can find an array of options. It's great to see island destinations like this diversify their offerings to take full advantage of the beautiful weather.

These spots are much more than just a place to visit a beach and hang out in the sun. Although, these might the primary reasons people come for a visit, Antigua and Barbuda tourism leaders are striving to give you more reasons to stay and play in their nation.

"While Antigua and Barbuda is known for beautiful beaches and scenery, not everyone is aware of the bounty of opportunities available for a healthy and rejuvenating vacation," says Colin C. James, CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority. "I hope to see all of our visitors taking part in these activities, as there is something to meet every guests' interest."

Here are some of the top wellness activities and accommodations to consider when you travel to Antigua and Barbuda:
Blue Bay Antigua B&B Homestay
Blue Bay Antigua B&B Homestay is located in idyllic surroundings and offers rejuvenating cuisine and exercise programs.

You perform the moves on an AquaBase floating exercise mat. It's a fun and challenging workout with incredible views you'll never forget. Workouts can be modified to include other exercises and routines such as yoga.
