Galley Bay in Antigua

ANTIGUA Small (but beautiful) Antigua has a surprisingly strong showing of all-inclusive resorts, anchored by brands such as Sandals Resorts and Elite Island Resorts. The island’s signature all-inclusive is Galley Bay Resort and Spa, a throwback to the Caribbean as it was in the jet-set days and with a healthy focus on toes-in-the-sand beachfront rooms. Elegant yet unstuffy, Curtain Bluff is one of the island’s oldest and best-loved all-inclusives, set on two beaches and boasting a superb tennis program. And then there is St James’s Club, which has two lovely beaches for guests to enjoy. Luxury can be found at the chic 27-suite Hermitage Bay and offshore private-island resort Rosewood Jumby Bay, along with the Verandah, set on a national park and wonderful for family getaways. Antigua is a place where Caribbean All-Inclusive fans can go for something different, something a little more intimate and something a little more special.
