For a luxurious slice of tropical paradise, this exceptional resort – which made the 2018 Condé Nast Traveller’s Gold List – is ideal. The resort is committed to sustainability and blends with its stunning surroundings – make the most of the sound of the birds and the waves. The secluded bay has a private island feel and breathtaking views – photos can’t quite capture the dazzling turquoise of the ocean. Relax on sugar-white sands as waiters bring you iced water, cocktails and fruit. Explore the island by following hiking trails or take a guided tour of a local farm to sample exotic fruits. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace under shady almond trees plus casual poolside lunches and romantic dinners at the beachside restaurant. Treat your taste buds to freshly caught fish, fruit and vegetables from the organic garden and inventive à la carte menus that change daily. At night, sip cocktails at the stylish bar. Caribbean-style cottages are scattered in tropical gardens or nestled along the beachfront. Sea View Garden Suites are just a few metres from the beach, while Beachfront Suites open directly onto the beach. Hillside Pool Suites are wonderfully secluded and have their own private plunge pool and magnificent views – perfect for honeymooners.
This exceptional and newly refurbished resort offers a contemporary and understated style that doesn’t distract from the island’s natural beauty. Cross a lily pond lined with flaming torches to the open-air plantation-style lobby where a table filled with exotic flowers provides a stunning centrepiece, and feel a sense of calm wash over you. The perfect crescent of white sand features family and adult areas and the calm waters are good for both swimming and watersports. Tropical landscaping surrounds the pool and the tranquil gardens offer inviting hammocks. Enjoy a serene sunset yoga session on the Jetty, films at the luxurious Screening Room and top travel reads at the funky library. The ‘Cool Kids Club’ offers a paddling pool, sand pit, jungle gym and mini tennis courts plus fun activities such as lizard hunting and crab racing. Sample a different flavoured smoothie every morning at breakfast and enjoy healthy dishes including fresh seafood at Indigo on the Beach. Tuck into authentic Italian favourites at poolside Ottimo! or enjoy freshly caught fish at The Jetty Grill which is set on the beachfront. Feast on delicious Pan-Asian cuisine at East – one of the island’s most renowned restaurants and enjoy live music at the Pavilion Bar. You can also arrange Beach and Jetty private dining, whether it's a private group barbecue or a table for two on the sand. The exquisite and spacious suites are newly refurbished and look like they have come straight out of the pages of an interior design magazine – a perfectly indulgent space to retreat to after a day spent soaking up the sun. They are set in blocks in the gardens or on the beach with a balcony or terrace, and offer daily fresh fruit and bottled water along with a conch shell to put outside your door if you wish to remain undisturbed. Garden Suites and Ocean Suites are split-level with the latter set at the quiet end of the beach. Families will love the ground-floor Beach Suites, just steps from the sand, while couples can enjoy the adult-only Bay Suites (available on request).
This delightfully laid-back rustic hotel is just steps from the calm, clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. Seagrape trees prop up wooden beams and thatched roofs, and the dark wood furniture is complemented by comfy white sofas, lush plants and decorative seashells. Lounge by the pool or kick back on one of the inviting Carib beach beds. You can also head out on a number of local excursions including a rainforest canopy tour or snorkelling and diving at Cades Reef in search of barracuda, moray eels and reef sharks. The open-plan beach restaurant sits on a raised wooden deck framed with white drapes, in an intimate setting for romantic dinners. All meals are à la carte but you won’t need to make any dinner reservations. The fresh and delicious dishes – such as red snapper and spicy local delicacies – are prepared to order and the regular barbecue nights and beach parties are very popular. Grab a Caribbean-based rum cocktail from the casual bar and sink into one of the sofas on the deck to watch the sun set over the ocean. The spacious rooms and cottages are scattered along flower-lined pathways. They each have romantic four-poster beds and refreshing outdoor showers, without the intrusion of televisions or radios. Beach House Standard Rooms are in the main building while the Beach View Cottages in the gardens are accessed from the back and have extra space plus a sea-view deck. Splash out on a Beachfront Pool Cottage with your own private plunge pool just a few steps from the sea.
Experience a stylish blend of Caribbean and Mediterranean at this expansive resort which features two ‘villages’. The traditional Caribbean Beachfront Grove is lined with pathways winding through seaside gardens of coconut palms, tropical vines and vibrant hibiscus. Inspired by Europe’s elegant plazas and grand villas, the modern Mediterranean Oceanview Village has elegant open spaces with manicured lawns, beautiful pools and a chic French patisserie. Relax on the silky-white sands and calm turquoise waters of one of the island’s best beaches. Relax on a sun lounger in the shallow depths of the zero-entry pool as a server wades to you with a tray of cocktails. Enjoy a great choice of activities on land and at sea including scuba diving (free for certified divers). Embark on a culinary journey around the world with a superb choice of 11 restaurants, each offering fine cuisine including Italian, Asian and Caribbean. Catch the ocean breeze at an open-air restaurant and enjoy barefoot dining on the beach. Start your day with mimosas, enjoy wood-fired pizzas for lunch and freshly caught seafood for dinner before sinking into a plush sofa by a fire pit to watch the stunning sunset. Fantastic entertainment includes live bands and beach parties. Choose from the charming Caribbean Grove, in a peaceful setting in gardens close to the beach with gingerbread cottages and private rondovals, or the all-suite Mediterranean Village with state-of-the-art suites.
On a private 100-acre peninsula, this peaceful resort offers a choice between the calm waters of lagoon-style Mamora Bay — great for watersports including Hobie Cat sailing and paddleboarding — and breezier Coco Beach on the Atlantic Ocean side. Although St James’s is fairly large, it has an intimate feel and there are plenty of quiet areas you can retreat to within the tropical gardens and pool areas. Choose from five restaurants offering à la carte and buffet options. The new all-day dining Eleven/11 Restaurant has gorgeous views over Coco’s Beach and, above it, Coco Beach Restaurant & Bar serves up Caribbean-style tapas dishes. The nautical-style Docksider has a weekly Caribbean night, Rainbow Garden offers à la carte evening dining with a buffet plus menu option for breakfast and lunch, and a casual beach grill serves burgers and nachos. Book a table at Piccolo Mondo, where, for a supplement, you can feast on fresh lobster and Mediterranean dishes with a Caribbean twist. Choose from six bars dotted around the resort, including the new Mamora Bay Café built into the treetops, or grab a drink from the beach buggy bar as it passes your sun lounger. Unwind in a secluded spot by one of the hotel’s romantic gazebos and try non-motorised watersports including stand-up paddleboarding and pedalos, all included along with tuition. Head out on St James’s own catamaran to Green Island for snorkelling and the chance to spot turtles, and hop on the quirky Pink Panther Island Safari to see rocky Devil’s Bridge, former sugar plantation Betty’s Hope and historic Nelson’s Dockyard. Visit Shirley Heights on a Sunday evening for beautiful sunset views accompanied by the rhythm of steel and reggae bands. Club, Premium and Beachfront Rooms have easy access to the restaurants and kids’ club, and Two Bedroom Villas are perfect for families and groups. Junior Suites are at the southern edge of the resort, with a living area, open-air balcony and sea views. Spacious Royal Suites are located in an adults-only area — these have a sunken lounge between the bedroom and balcony, superb views over Mamora Bay and access to an exclusive bar and small pools.
Spread out in lush grounds, The Verandah Resort & Spa has a laid-back vibe and never feels crowded. One of the beautiful beaches is dedicated to non-motorised watersports and the cove-protected waters are perfect for snorkelling and kayaking. Join a game of beach volleyball, pick one of many peaceful spots dotted around the resort, or explore the gardens during a game of mini golf past ponds, waterfalls and tropical flowers. The resort has the island’s largest freeform freshwater swimming pool as well as a peaceful adults-only pool. Two restaurants – Seabreeze and Buccaneer – have casual family-friendly à la carte dining and themed buffet evenings. Dress up for dinner at Nicole’s and enjoy fine steaks and lobster. There is also the Beach Bar & Grill, the new Wadadli Snack Shack and the rustic Rasta Bar, or you can enjoy evening entertainment at the pool bar. Enjoy soft drinks, tropical juices, rum punch and cold beer at the new Lazy Pelican Beach Bar on the watersports beach. The spacious single-storey suites are dotted in clusters around the resort and have a queen-size sofa bed – ideal for families. Hillside Suites overlook gardens and Water View Suites are nearer the sea with garden and partial ocean views. Our Exclusive Kuoni Water View Spa Suites are as the Water View Suites but with three bespoke spa treatments per room from a menu at Tranquillity Body & Soul Spa, plus one dinner for two at Nicole’s included (during a one-week stay). Waterfront Suites are perched on the hillside with unobstructed ocean views. Rooms can interconnect through the balcony for larger families or groups. The new Two Bedroom Villas with Plunge Pool are set on the hillside with a fully equipped kitchen, living/dining area and breathtaking bay views.
Originally designed as a private residence and exclusive hotel for the owner’s family and friends, this intimate and friendly property has developed into one of the island’s most coveted resorts. With stunning views, world-class service and impressive green credentials, it’s no surprise that the hotel attracts repeat guests and A-listers and boasts a number of prestigious awards – it was voted 3rd in the '25 Best Resort Hotels in the Caribbean, Bermuda and the Bahamas 2019' by readers of US publication Travel & Leisure. The excellent kids' club and extensive facilities make this a superb option for multigenerational families – there's everything from basketball and squash courts and a world-class tennis centre with four championship courts to waterskiing (with equipment and tuition all included). One side of the bluff is home to the beautiful but wild Surf Beach, while the other side has the calm Bay Beach, an ideal spot for swimming. Relax in a hammock under swaying coconut palms and listen to the waves breaking on the shore as waiters stroll up and down the sand with cold drinks. The resort is renowned for its sensational cuisine and award-winning restaurants and all meals are included so you don’t need to pay any supplements. The refurbished Tamarind Restaurant serves breakfast and candlelit dinners, and The Seagrape does barefoot casual lunches and romantic dinners overlooking the ocean. Spend the evening dancing under the moonlight as live bands perform on the terrace. The spacious ocean-view rooms and suites are scattered along Surf Beach and up the bluff – the latter requires a walk up a steep hill, or you can catch a ride in a golf buggy. Ground-floor rooms offer direct access to the beach while those on the upper levels have the best views. Deluxe Rooms are set in two-storey villas on Surf Beach. Set at the top of the bluff boasting panoramic views, the Terrace Suite and Cliff Suite – each with a private infinity pool – are ideal for honeymooners.
The main attraction at this friendly, informal resort is the spectacular beach where dazzling platinum sand is lapped by brilliant turquoise waters. The protected cove is perfect for swimming and you can snorkel in clear waters on the offshore reef. Keep things typically Caribbean by sipping rum punch by the lagoon-style pool or strolling to the beach for a game of volleyball or some watersports. You can try a variety of cuisines and settings, from Italian waterfront dining at Chef Pietro’s to light lunches (and even midnight snacks) at the Pelican Snack Grill. Tuck into Caribbean specialities at the Pineapple Grill and experience themed evenings at Topaz Restaurant. Sip icy drinks and admire the panoramic views at The Outhouse, a charming shack set high on the hill which serves delicious jerk chicken and barbecue ribs, with calypso and reggae music setting the scene. The beautiful rooms are set in blocks and the Garden View Rooms are ideal for those on a budget. The hillside Ocean View Rooms involve a bit of a hike up a number of steps (or you can get a ride in a golf buggy) but the reward is stunning views over the bay. The Beachfront Rooms are just steps from the sand and Tropical Waterfront Rooms are wonderfully secluded. Some Garden View and Beachfront Rooms have a private terrace or shared balcony.
This beautiful hotel blends modern chic and classic-colonial style, with fresh white décor and warm wood. Stroll along powder-soft sands to secluded coves and wade into calm waters for swimming and watersports. Relax on a plush sun lounger on the beach deck or by one of the stunning infinity pools that merge with the turquoise sea beyond. Explore gardens draped with bougainvillea and hibiscus and spot hummingbirds. The hotel has a great focus on environmental responsibility, too – it will be banning all single-use plastics in the near future and is the first hotel in Antigua to launch a refillable water bottle scheme. Enjoy breakfast on the terrace, casual lunches and sophisticated dinners at the sea-view Palm Restaurant, plus superb ocean views at the clifftop Cove Restaurant. Bartley's has been reopened as a new pan-Asian Restaurant – it's open in the evenings on rotation, with popular dishes like Chinese Dim Sum and speciality curries from India and Indonesia. The hotel has created new kids' menus in all three restaurants, each with different options and themes. Carolyn’s beach bar and restaurant serves light bites, salads and flat breads for lunch on the terrace and the Pelican Bar does great cocktails. There’s also a casual beach bar and pool bar. The rooms are scattered in blocks around the resort. Deluxe Beachfront Rooms are just steps from the beach and have been completely refurbished. The incredible Cove Suites and opulent three-bedroom Penthouse Suites are in a spellbinding clifftop location and have access to four exclusive infinity pools. For the ultimate in seclusion and privacy, opt for one of the incredible villas - there's the Pelican House where you can reserve a semi-detached three-bedroom villa or the entirety of the house; the Rock Cottage, a five-bedroom villa that is surrounded on three sides by water; and the huge Turtle Cottage which has four bedrooms and an infinity-edge pool.
Brand-new Hammock Cove is just a few minutes’ walk from Antigua’s UNESCO-listed Devil’s Bridge National Park, where waves rumble relentlessly onto the rocky limestone outcrop. The feeling at this adults-only resort is far more serene, though – it overlooks a secluded bay and has a series of cascading pools which drift down from the main building towards a sandy beach deck at the water’s edge. There are two great restaurants to choose from, and you can even have your food delivered to your room. Enjoy light meals at Irina’s before sipping cocktails and craft beers at the bar; for romantic candlelit meals and international classics, you’ve got Lighthouse. Work your way through fine wines at Chairman’s Lounge and enjoy a drink by the pool at On the Rocks. There’s also a spa offering enticing treatments made with local herbal infusions and organic ingredients. You’ll stay in an ultra-modern individual villa with a spacious veranda and private infinity-edge plunge pool – the privacy and luxury of these villas is what makes a stay here so special. From the island-inspired furnishings including Bahama shutters and rich wood accents, to the stunning bathrooms with multi-head showers, they’re super sleek and a dream to retreat to after a day of snorkelling, swimming and stand-up paddleboarding. Kick back on a lounger or curl up in the hanging Papasan chair, before raiding your personalised cocktail counter with a fully stocked temperature-controlled wine cooler.
Royalton’s debut property in Antigua is brand new and a top family-friendly option with plenty of activities. It’s in a great location on the slightly misleadingly named Deep Bay – you can go snorkelling here and discover the shipwreck of the Andes, a Trinidadian ship resting on the seabed just a matter of metres underwater. The resort also sits under the watchful eye of Fort Barrington, an 18th-Century British bastion against the French and a lovely viewpoint over the coastline. One of the best things about this hotel is the dining. Enjoy in-suite coffee or tea in the morning, breakfast served on your private balcony or terrace and unlimited reservation-free à la carte dinners in any restaurant on any night, as well as 24-hour room service. There’s international buffet food at Gourmet Marché, traditional Italian dishes at Grazie Italian Trattoria and a steakhouse, while Caribbean Restaurant & Grill and Beach Club Grill both have special kids’ sections for family-friendly daytime snacking. Make a reservation for the seven-course Chef’s Table option before working your way through four bars. Enjoying the Royal Spa’s hydrotherapy circuit or an introductory scuba diving lesson should help you work up an appetite. The all-suite accommodation is modern and family-friendly – Luxury Junior Suites come with mountain or bay views and interconnecting rooms are available on request. Choose a Diamond Club suite for à la carte restaurant reservation priority, butler service and access to the Diamond Club Lounge with hors d‘oeuvres and snacks. The hotel also lays claim to a first-ever feature in Antigua – the adults-only Chairman’s Overwater Bungalows. They have a swim-out infinity plunge pool, overwater hammock and glass floor to watch the ocean life below, and come with special extras including snorkelling gear, a welcome bottle of Champagne and sunset mixology service.
Ocean Point Resort & Spa sits right on Antigua’s northern coastline, only a short drive from the island’s largest city, Saint John’s. Once home to a strategic naval fort, the historic port capital is known for the striking white baroque towers of its cathedral, and this hotel is just as aesthetically pleasing. A wonderfully traditional reception area welcomes you on arrival, flanked by tropical palm trees and complete with pillars and chandeliers. Your post-dinner stroll down to the beach is made easier by winding, beautifully lit wooden walkways, while the open poolside bar provides spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean and unspoilt Caribbean sands. The hotel’s Sottovento Beach Club Restaurant serves up Italian and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, from fresh fish to light salads. Modern but understated, with stylish vaulted ceilings and a sheltered terrace, it’s also a fantastic spot to drink in the sea views. When it comes to activities, you’ll be spoilt for choice. A short shuttle bus ride away in Saint John’s, you’ll find the island’s sole rum distillery plus The Antigua and Barbuda Museum, housed in a 1750s’ colonial courthouse. Sports-enthusiasts will love the pristine white sands of nearby Jabberwock Beach – home to Kitesurf Antigua – and Dickenson’s Bay (only 10 minutes’ drive from Ocean Point). And don’t miss a visit to the eccentrically-named Prickly Pear Island; a five-minute boat trip from Hodges Bay, this tiny islet’s exquisite clear waters make it a haven for swimming and snorkelling. The rooms have a distinctly Mediterranean feel, with elegant floor tiles and rustic furniture. Whether you opt for a garden or an ocean view, a private balcony or patio in each room will give you more than just a taste of the revitalising Caribbean air. An Ocean Front Room is a great upgrade option, with extra space and unrestricted ocean views thanks to its additional seating area and two private balconies.
