4 Luxurious Adults-Only Resorts in Antigua To Sweep You Off Your Feet
These 4 luxurious all-inclusive hotels in Antigua have everything you need to craft an unforgettable escape on the island of 365 beaches.
- Pineapple Beach Club
- The Verandah
- Galley Bay Resort & Spa
- Hammock Cove
1. Pineapple Beach Club Antigua
First stop on our tour of the Elite all-inclusive adults-only escapes in Antigua is Pineapple Beach Club. Out on the East Coast, just 30 minutes from St John’s, this gorgeous 4-star haven sits right on the beach.
Inside you’ll find a plethora of pluses, including 5 restaurants, 3 bars, a choice of water sports, a fitness centre and a spa area. But wherever you go, you’re surrounded by incredible views over the North Atlantic.
If all that on-site loveliness hasn’t got your heart racing, enjoy being minutes from the Devil’s Bridge National Park. If that’s not your speed, we recommend taking the payable resort shuttle and exploring the capital.
2. The Verandah Antigua
Moving further southeast from Pineapple Beach Club, roughly 5 minutes by car, The Verandah Antigua also gives you quick exits to Devil’s Bridge and St John’s.
The newly renovated 4.5-star resort boasts 12 restaurant and bar options, as well as a couple of swimming pools, a spa, gym and water sports. All of which is sandwiched between two achingly beautiful Antiguan stretches of sand – Rasta Beach and Lovers Beach.
You also have the added virtue of staying at a Green Globe Certified resort. The Verandah’s ecological approaches help offset the environmental cost of your trip.
3. Galley Bay Resort & Spa
Moving from the East Coast almost directly across to the West we come to Galley Bay Resort & Spa. One the most opulent resorts on the island, this five-star stunner on the Caribbean side of the island, boasts accommodation in the form of individual suites rather than conventional rooms.
Whether you’re facing the sparkling sea or inwards across the manicured tropical gardens, the homely feel in the suites and villas will welcome you home. If you can make it out of the room and discover the rest of the location, you’ll discover 8 restaurants and bars, a pool, spa, gym and thrilling water sports.
The indulgence doesn’t end in the suites either. When you get out into the restaurants you’ll be able to benefit from the resort’s farm-to-table dining concept. This ethos ensures only the finest ingredients make it to your plate at the height of seasonality.
4. Hammock Cove Antigua
Finally, we round off our look at the adults-only Elite Island Resorts in Antigua by heading back over to the West Coast and the balmy shores in front of Hammock Cove. The main event here is, undoubtedly, the epic three-tiered infinity pool which cascades down to the white sand forming the perfect watery perch for admiring the ebb and flow of the North Atlantic.
If you can pull yourself away from that pool (and view), take the chance to explore everything else the resort has to offer including 4 bars, 2 restaurants, a pool, spa, fitness centre and a choice of water sports. If all that doesn’t sound like a piece of you, there are also cooking classes, walking tours and rum tastings to help you unwind.
Meanwhile, for those days when you feel like getting out and exploring more of the island, you can enjoy being minutes from all the best things to do in Antigua. Visit Shirley Heights on Sunday evening and enjoy the weekly parties as the sun sets over the hills and you take in stunning views of the harbour below.
Oh, did we mention there’s also bars and food trucks at this Sunday party too?
