The glamping, or luxury camping, trend has made its way to the Caribbean in recent years, most recently at the now-legendary Anegada Beach Club in the British Virgin Islands.

And now it’s made its way to Antigua.

This is Wild Lotus Antigua, a luxury beach camp set on one of the island’s most beautiful beaches, Valley Church Beach.

The 13×13 or 16×16-foot tents are big enough to stand and walk around in, with comfortable double beds and furniture – and chilled white wine and cheese upon arrival.

Beginning Nov. 1, the luxury tents will also have private showers available.

It’s a way to deeply immerse yourself into the Antigua beach experience, with cool breezes, the sounds of the waves and an experience like no other on the island.
