My favorite getaway in Antigua.
Cosseted away at Hermitage Bay, this upscale colony of 30 suites discreetly spread over 17 acres of lush beachfront, you’ll forget all your cares and enjoy a host of all-inclusive amenities. The airy suites, built with sustainably harvested tropical woods, feature prime ocean views and a rustic charm, with outdoor showers, freestanding tubs, and canopy beds. Take a windsurfing lesson or a Hobie Cat ride out on the protected bay, then return to a feast of organic, locally sourced fare. The holistic spa offers Reiki, reflexology, and chakra-balancing treatments.

The only hotel/resort on Barbuda.
Resting on the pink sands of Barbuda’s as-far-as-the-eye-can-see coast, Barbuda Belle lives up to its name. This beautiful Caribbean retreat is made up of just a handful of private wooden residences, each set up for the ultimate in beach luxury. Silently solar-powered and only accessible by boat they make the most of the island’s tranquillity, so you can switch off and embrace the natural beauty that surrounds you.
The cabana-style bungalows take their design cues from the tropical setting: rustic and elegant, yet with all the hallmarks of contemporary comfort. Take in the views from your balcony or bury your toes in the sand and ease the days away. You can even have dinner on the beach if the mood takes you, with freshly caught seafood prepared to perfection by the resident chef.
