Carlisle Bay, Antigua

Situated on Antigua’s undeveloped south coast, the multiple-award-winning Carlisle Bay offers a picture-perfect shoreline, where white-sand beaches blend into lush rainforest. The understated, Caribbean-inflected design pays close attention to detail, from the contemporary, elegant décor to the amenities available; the CARA Organic Beauty Spa, a complimentary kids’ club and activities ranging from water sports to yoga. Directly from the beach you’ll find hiking trails leading to spectacular viewpoints and, when you’re ready to relax, there are four restaurants to choose from, taking influence from the Mediterranean and South East Asia, as well as the Caribbean, and each serving fare made from local produce. V.C. Bird International Airport is just 30 minutes away by hotel car transfer.
