Galley Bay, Antigua

Location

Almost everything at the award-winning Galley Bay, a luxury resort set on a three kilometre-long stretch of coast on the idyllic Caribbean Island of Antigua, is focussed on the sweeping white-sand beach: the wooden sundeck closely hugging its curves, and alfresco restaurants opening onto expansive sea views. This stunning boutique property is tucked away among 40 acres of beautiful gardens.

Accommodation

The hotel's 98 rooms, suites and cottages range from the rustic to the glamorous, featuring sunken living rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and tropical garden backdrops, with the higher grade suites opening right out onto the beach, while the delightful Gaugin Cottages boast a concealed patio with private plunge pool.

Dining

The hotel's three restaurants - Sea Grape, Gaugin and Ismay's - offer sophisticated al fresco dining, embracing the finest flavours of the Caribbean, while the relaxed atmosphere of the Barefoot Grill is the perfect spot to enjoy a light poolside snack. There are also a number of bars and lounges dotted throughout the hotel where you can enjoy a relaxing pre-dinner drink or sundowner cocktail. For something extra special, book a romantic dinner for two on the beach with private waiter service.

Facilities

Galley Bay's spa, Indulge, invites guests to relax, rejuvenate and refresh with a comprehensive array of massages, treatments and therapies and a calming lagoon-side setting. The hotel also boasts a free-form pool, a range of water sports, tennis, croquet, a fully equipped fitness centre and a range of exciting excursions to other parts of the island.
