At Antigua’s Curtain Bluff couples enjoy life on the edge – specifically the infinity edge of the ocean-view plunge pool in the Cliff Suite, one of four signature suites at the venerable all-inclusive resort.

After a day filled with lessons at the hotel’s renown tennis school, sailing along the coast or simply sunning on CB’s two beaches, guests may repair to the patio of the recently refreshed cloister for cocktails, canapés, or a spot of afternoon tea.

From $1,200 per night.
