yachts, day charter sailboats and catamarans and there are lots of bars and local restaurants within walking distance.

Personal viewpoint

We are thrilled to introduce this fabulous, newly built hotel as something a little different on Antigua. We love the cool, uber-modern design of the suites and this, along with the stylish restaurant serving the tastiest, flavoursome dishes and the views across to the most amazing yacht marina are evocative of French St Barths … but maybe a little more relaxed, Antigua style! Groups of friends, couples and families of all ages will have an amazing time exploring the area as well as savouring a truly luxurious level of modern comfort in the gorgeous oversized suites. Recent accolades have described this newest addition to Antigua’s luxury boutique hotels as a crisp and sleek, and whilst located right in the center of one of the Caribbean’s mega yacht hubs, it is described as ‘an oasis with large rooms and a great little patch of sand’. It’s new, cool, chic and certainly different!

Island Activities

Stingray City Imagine swimming is perfectly clear waters with docile stingrays – the puppy dogs of the sea.

Antigua Clays, Saint Philip A newly built Shooting Ground on the edge of Potworks Dam Reservoir. Our 30-acre site set in the lush Antiguan surroundings encompasses a fantastic array of shooting stations, each with varying difficulty.

Shirley Heights, Nelson's Dockyard National Park Hills overlooking the Dockyard on the east, named after the governor who built the fortifications.

Fort Barrington, St. John's British fort looming dramatically over the shoreline, built in 1779 to protect the British island from the French.

Devil's Bridge Limestone arches formed by seawater erosion, this natural landmark is rumoured to have been the site of mass suicides of slaves hundreds of years ago.

Darkwood Beach

An excellent beach for snorkelling and beachcombing.

Pillars of Hercules, English Harbour A 23-metre rock dive that’s suitable for novices, the Pillars of Hercules in Antigua is so named because of the limestone formations in the cliff above the site. Expect to come face to face with sergeant majors, blue tang and snappers.

Zip-lining in the Antiguan Rainforest A unique eco-tour through Antigua's lush rainforest, where you embark on an unforgettable journey through the verdant forest, high above the trees.

Helicopter trip around volcanic Montserrat A helicopter trip is dramatic enough. Add a flight around an active volcano which is spewing steam and ash and you have something pretty special.

Scuba Diving Seeing Antigua from land is only half the story! Go underwater to see the rest of the beauty that this island has to offer

Trip to Barbuda on the Barbuda Express Probably the most “chilled” island on the planet; 1500 inhabitants, no crime and amazing deserted beaches.
