Spectacular beaches. Breathtaking scenery. Some of the most beautiful water you’ll ever see.

And, oh yes, 365 beaches.

There’s a reason the island of Antigua has catapulted to the forefront of the Caribbean travel industry, and the buzz just keeps growing (the world’s best footballer chose Antigua as his honeymoon destination, after all).

But a large part of Antigua’s increasing appeal is its diverse, excellent collection of hotels, from boutique stays to larger all-inclusives. What they all share is a palpable authenticity — Antigua’s resorts have a sense of place, a unique identity.

Here are six great Antigua resorts for your next island getaway.

Galley Bay.

Galley Bay If Antigua has a flagship resort, it’s almost certainly the legendary Galley Bay, the island’s most romantic resort that’s set on a magnificent stretch of white sand beach. From its terrific little rum shack to its delightful Gauguin Suites, you’d almost never know it was an all-inclusive — except for never having to reach for your wallet. Try Galley Bay.
