Antigua Adults-Only

The new Pineapple Beach Club adults-only all-inclusive resort in Antigua is planning a Oct. 1 grand opening.

The debut will follow a month-long renovation project that will include upgrades to the property’s guest rooms, grounds, facilities, equipment and ovreall operations.

The new Antigua Adults-Only resort will be closed for renovations from Aug. 25 to Sept. 30.

Earlier this summer, the Antigua property returned to the Elite Island Resorts group led by Chairman Rob Barrett, who had originally owned and operated the resort from 1986 to 1998.

“This resort and I share a history together that makes its reopening all the more significant for me,” said Barrett. “I’m very excited to have Pineapple Beach Club Antigua back under our care. We’ve got some great plans to gently steer the property in a new direction. Starting with the transition to a more laid back, Adults-Only environment, and continuing with the renovation project, we’re carefully crafting a vacation experience that I know our guests will love.”
