Caribbean Room With a View: Above the Beach in Antigua

IT BEGAN WITH A RESTAURANT.
The boutique 26-cottage Cocos Hotel started life as a small restaurant perched above a peninsula on the southwestern coast of Antigua.

Thanks to longtime Caribbean hotelier Andrew Michelin, it became something else — one of the Caribbean’s unique hotel properties.

All of the units at Cocos are built by local craftsmen using local materials — with everything from the bedding to the food sourced locally.

And whether you’re in the restaurant, your room or your outdoor shower, there are views everywhere.

The all-inclusive property’s Premium Plus View cottage offers particularly spectacular vistas, with a handmade king-size poster bed, a fridge restocked every day with drinks of your choice, and, yes, the private outdoor shower.

Enjoy the view.
