Jolly Beach Resort & Spa

A fun-packed all inclusive resort perfect for families

Set by one of Antigua's best beaches with a fantastic range of facilities, Jolly Beach Resort & Spa is great value and a popular wedding spot.

Dine in five brilliant restaurants including an Italian and an Indian, nibble on afternoon tea and sip cocktails in five bars. There are two swimming pools - one a fantasy pool with waterfall and swim-up bar - and little ones will love the fun-pcked kids' club, while teens can hang out at their own club too.

Active types can play beach volleyball, netball, basketball and table tennis or take an exercise class. Non-motorised watersports including snorkelling and kayaking are also included. For an extra cost, you can indulge at the wellness centre's spa, beauty salon and fitness room, play golf and scuba dive nearby, and hire tennis equipment and instruction.
