Antigua and Barbuda officially reopened for tourism at the beginning of June, and now some of its most prominent resorts are back open again. 

That includes the island’s newest adults-only, all-inclusive, Elite Island Resorts’ Hammock Cove. 

The boutique resort, set on the eastern coast of Antigua, is a collection of free-standing, 1,080-square-foot luxury villas — in other words, the perfect social-distancing vacation. 

Each villa comes with its own private plunge pool, along with other perks like a wine bar and a massive private verandah to boot.

Elite Island Resorts says the property has been adapted for the new normal of travel, meaning seating at bars and restaurants is spaced out, as is the seating around the property’s main pools and the beach. 

The company says it’s using “state-of-the-art” electrostatic sprayers to disinfect and sanitize every villa and the property’s facilities.

“That means surfaces, soft furnishings and everything in between,” the property said in a statement. 

The brand-new resort had just opened its doors at the end of 2019 — and it’s now the new centerpiece of Antigua’s reopening. 

And when you can stay in an ocean-view private villa on a spectacular beach in Antigua, well, it’s the getaway we’re all looking for right now.
